Calories Burned Jogging

Calories burned jogging is probably one of the most tempting numbers one wants to know. This is particularly true if you've never jogged before and are looking to begin this activity.

Certainly when you know the number of calories to burn you can then figure out how to burn the fat and reduce your weight at a manageable pace. Fortunately, jogging is probably the best aerobic exercise to give you a substantial calorie burn rate. Unfortunately, things are never that simple, right? It can be fairly easy to be misled by the numbers because calories burned varies from person to person.

How Many Calories Do You Need to Burn?

According to the experts, 3,500 calories equals one pound of fat so you need to burn at least this much in order to lose one pound. For example, if you burn a total of 500 calories each day, every day, you'll potentially lose one pound per week. If you keep this up for the whole year your weight loss could add up to about 50 pounds - and that's tremendous! But there's a catch: aside from the jogging, you'll also need to watch your diet.

Most of us consume about 2,000 calories each day. If you're eating this much and still gaining pounds than 2,000 calories is too much for you. Your consumption rate in order to lose weight is probably around 1700 calories per day. That means even if you burn 500 calories every day while also eating 2,000 calories you'll achieve a 200 calorie deficit, which translates into a pound lost every 17 or 18 weeks. This can be quite dismal for some dieters, since exercise often stimulates your appetite.

The best approach is to eat a low-calorie diet without sacrificing the taste and enjoyment of your food. It'll be easier to make your calories burned jogging count towards your weight loss routine.

Don't Be Tricked By Treadmills.

Some treadmills have neat calorie counters on the panel showing you how many calories you've burned. Don't count on this counter as a reliable measurement too much because they're often designed for a person who's 150 pounds or heavier. And, the heavier the person, the more calories will be burned. So don't rely on this since the number may actually be higher or lower than what it shows you.

A guide to consider for approximate calories burned jogging per minute would be the following:

• Weight 105-121 pounds = 8.6
• Weight 122-148 pounds = 9.2
• Weight 149-175 pounds = 11.5
• Weight 176 pounds and above = 12.7

Keep in mind, too, that the number of calories burned jogging increases with the intensity. So if you've been jogging at 5 miles per hour bring the pace up to six and burn even more calories!
