What is the highest burning calorie exercise or activity that ever existed on this planet? That’s what we’re going to talk about today. Now, this information is based on a person that weighs about 155 lbs. And all of these activities are based on one hour of doing them. A lot of these exercises cannot be performed for a whole hour, but just to give you a relative comparison per unit of time, I’m going to list everything by calories burned.

And then when we’re done, I want to clarify some really important points on calories because it’s not all about burning calories. We start with sleeping. You’ll burn 50 calories per hour when you’re sleeping. And then we graduate to sitting, being sedentary, sitting on the couch. 65 calories per hour you can burn just by doing nothing.

And just as a side note, if you chew gum, you can burn a few more calories an hour. If you laugh, you can burn a few more calories per hour. And if you fidget, you can burn a few more calories per hour. All very insignificant. So when you’re sitting there watching TV at night eating popcorn, find a comedy, start laughing, fidget while you’re chewing gum and eating the popcorn at the same time.

Then we have standing. Takes a little more energy to stand. So we have 110 calories. Sex. It’s not an exercise.

I guess it could be. You’ll burn about 200 calories an hour. But most people do not spend an hour performing that exercise. Probably more like, I don’t know, four minutes, maybe 10 minutes. Then we have planks.

If you did plank for an hour, you’d burn 240 calories. That seems pretty strange because it seems like a plank would burn way more calories. I’ll have to double check that one, but I tell you one thing, I don’t think most people can do a plank for more than, you know, 5 10 minutes, let alone an hour. Okay. Okay.

Then we have walking, moderate pace, about 3 m an hour. You’ll burn about 240 calories an hour. Bowling is 250 calories. House cleaning, vigorous effort, 250 calories. Gardening or yard work is 270 calories.

Yoga, you can burn 280 calories. Walking briskly at 4 miles an hour, 340 calories. Golfing, 360 calories per hour. And then if you do the elliptical training moderately, it’s about 400 calories an hour. Now, a more high-end yoga like a power yoga would you could burn about 400 calories.

Okay? And then the next series of exercise all burn about roughly about 420 calories. Softball, baseball, rollerblading, roller skating, bicycling at 10 m hour, weightlifting, vigorous effort, zumba, dance workout, and aerobics, moderate effort. All are 420 calories per hour. Then we have like aerobic dancing vigorously, that’s 440 calories per hour.

Volleyball is 450 uh calories per hour. Hiking with a backpack, 450 calories per hour. Playing tennis, it’s 450 calories. Rowing 470. Bicycling about 12 to 14 mph is about 470 calories.

And then the next series of uh exercises all burn about 480 calories per hour. Basketball, soccer, running five to six miles an hour. Elliptical training vigorously all 480 calories per hour. And then we have swimming, moderate effort, is 510 calories. Crossount skiing, I’ve done that.

It’s a pretty serious workout. That’s 550 calories per hour. Then we have martial arts, judo, karate, etc. 560 calories an hour. Jumping rope, 560 calories an hour.

I want to see you jump rope for an hour. Rock climbing indoor and outdoor 570 calories. And of course, that all depends on, you know, how many breaks that you’re taking in between the rock climbing. I don’t think anyone could rock climb for straight 1 hour. Then you have rowing vigorously, 570 calories.

Kickboxing 580 calories. Bicycling vigorously at 14 to 16 mph 590 calories. Then we have running at 6 to 7 miles per hour, 590 calories, swimming vigorously, highintensity interval training, CrossFit, all of them are 590 calories an hour. Now, of course, they’re not factoring in the rest periods and all that because obviously when you’re resting, you’re going to burn less calories. Running up a hill, 800 calories per hour.

Yeah, I like to see you run up a hill for an hour. I think I can make it about 15 to 20 seconds before I have to take a break. Now, we have running at 10 miles an hour. That’s pretty fast. Over 1,126 calories.

Of course, no one’s going to be able to run an hour at that speed, but just to look at how many calories you would burn comparatively. It’s quite a few. Oh, check this out. Chopping wood with an axe. 1,196 calories per hour.

And then we have the top exercise that burns the most calories and that’s a flatout sprint. That’s at 1,200 calories per hour. We know that’s ridiculous, but if you’re doing a flatout sprint and you’re using every bit of energy, you’re going to burn some serious calories. Now, that’s all really interesting, but I need to explain some key things about burning calories. What is the purpose of burning calories?

Why do you want to burn calories? Chances are it’s probably to lose weight. Right now, we have to ask the question, what type of calories do you want to burn? Do you want to burn your sugar calories or do you want to burn your fat calories or do you want to burn your protein calories, your muscle protein? Probably not.

So, you probably want to burn fat, right? So, if you actually consume sugar, you’re going to burn sugar. If you consume fat without sugar, you will burn fat. And when your body starts burning off your own protein, your muscle, that’s in a situation where you are overtraining, you haven’t slept, maybe you’re doing prolonged fasting, and in addition to that, you’ve tapped out like not just your glycogen reserve, but your your fat reserves, and then now the muscle is going to be the last thing to be burned. And that’s called starvation.

With some of these long-distance runners, they have a bit of atrophy because they’re generating so much energy and burning so many calories, it’s very difficult to maintain a large volume of muscles because if you keep the intensity high and you increase duration, you also increase cortisol. Cortisol destroys the muscles. It’s very important as we’re talking about calories to make sure you never overtrain. So, if we take a look at what’s really happening inside your cells when you exercise, you’re using energy through the machine called the mitochondria. The amount of calories that you’re burning really is dependent on how healthy that mitochondria is.

How do you know if you have a good mitochondria? Well, take a look at your energy. How much energy do you have? Can you exercise and have more endurance and and have more energy even after you work out to some degree? Certain medications destroy the mitochondria like statin drugs which block cholesterol and one of the big reasons is because it depletes a very important nutrient that’s needed by the mitochondria to make energy and that’s called co-enzyme Q10.

Also lcarnitine is another one as well. So there are several things that can help increase the number of mitochondria in the strength. Of course, exercise will do it, but only if you’re resting between your exercise and you’re fully recovering. Having a good thyroid can help the number of mitochondria. Increasing more muscle mass will automatically give you more mitochondria.

And this is why it’s important if you want to improve your metabolism to make sure you have sufficient muscle mass. And even people doing ompic, right, what they do is they lose weight, but they also lose muscle as a side effect. I mean, sometimes people have this idea that, oh yeah, I’ll be on this medication the rest of my life. Really? I I don’t think so.

So, you might start out losing weight and then all of a sudden lose your mitochondria. Doing intermittent fasting can also stimulate the production of more mitochondria. But I want to say something. There’s a fascinating test that um can look into the m
