How many calories do you lose by jogging for 1 hour?

This is an automatically translated article.

Jogging as a means of sport for each person to burn calories in the body or maintain weight. Jogging for an hour is not the same for everyone because of their fitness and endurance. So, how many calories do you lose when jogging for 1 hour? The following article gives us a better understanding.

1. Determine the calories burned when running

There are different ways to determine how many calories you burn while running. Many runners use the 100 calories per mile rule. While this is the fastest and simplest way to estimate your calorie intake, it's not likely to be the most accurate because it doesn't take into account important variables.
As a very general and simple rule of thumb, an average-sized runner will burn about 100 calories per mile.
For a better estimate of the calories you burn while running, you can use the physical activity calculator. You will need to know your current weight, running speed and running time. These numbers help personalize the estimate for a more accurate number.

2. Calorie Calculator

Various technological tools can help estimate the number of calories burned while running.
2.1. Applications Some smartphone applications allow you to track your calories. Running apps like Runkeeper and Strava provide calorie data for your workouts. However, the numbers provided are estimates only. To get the numbers up, you also need to make sure the app is used during your workout which means carrying your phone while running.
2.2. Fitness trackers, from brands like Fitbit, Polar, or Garmin, also have features that let you track calories. The settings on most of these devices can be toggled to allow you to track your calorie burn as you run.
Real-time updates on a smartwatch or app can help motivate you to run a little further if you have a calorie goal.
2.3. Treadmill Treadmill calorie calculators usually provide some calories at the end (or during) your workout. The numbers are estimates only and are not likely to be accurate unless you enter your weight and other relevant data before starting your workout. Treadmills also tend to overestimate the number of calories burned during running.

3. What factors affect how many calories you burn when running?

Remember, all of those numbers are estimates only. Anything you do to increase your workload or, the force exerted on the distance you are doing will increase the amount of oxygen you use and the number of calories you burn.
3.1. Your Body Weight For starters, the force is equal to your body weight. The heavier you carry, the more work you have to do. That's why a heavier person will burn more calories than a lighter person, even if they run at the same pace for the same amount of time. For example, a 140-pound person can burn 13.2 calories per minute while running, a 160-pound person burns 15.1, and a 180-pound person burns 17. If you specifically want to increase your calorie burn , you can run while wearing a weighted vest.
Your speed and intensity: Increasing your speed and intensity also requires more oxygen, increasing your calorie burn. Compare the 10-minute mile rate, which burns 624 calories per hour, with the 8-minute mile, which burns 751 calories per hour. It's not always easy to reduce minutes per mile, but including intervals can help you reap the calorie rewards at a faster rate. However, you don't have to run fast to burn tons of calories. Instead, you can always run longer; Running for 60 minutes will burn the same amount of calories as running 30 minutes at a 6-minute pace.
Add an incline: another way to increase your calorie burn without changing your speed: run hills or do inclines on the treadmill. Your heart will have to work harder to handle those inclines at the same speed as on flat ground, and that results in more calories burned.

4. How many calories does an hour of jogging reduce?

A 150-pound person running at a 10-minute pace for 60 minutes will burn 700 calories, while a 200-pound person running at the same time and pace will burn 933 calories.
The average person will burn between 80 and 140 calories per mile. 30 minutes of jogging will burn between 280 and 520 calories, depending on your weight and pace.
Here's what calories burned look like if you increase your run time to 60 minutes at 6 mph at different weights:
Weight 130 (lbs) burn 607 Calories weight 150 (lbs) burned 700 Calories Weight 170 (lbs) burned 793 Calories Weight 190 (lbs) burned 887 Calories Weight 210 (lbs) burned 980 Calories 230 (lbs) burned 1074 Calories The calories burned while running will depend on your weight, the duration of the run and to a lesser extent your speed. Use the calculator for custom calculations.
If you are looking to lose weight, jogging is a great way to reduce calories. Combine extra exercise with a sensible diet to create a calorie deficit and lose weight. If you're having a hard time losing weight, see how many calories I should eat each day to lose weight.

5. Other benefits of running

Forget about calories for a second. Running has many benefits, from reducing your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and strengthening your joints to preventing depression and improving your memory.
When you're running, it's not just about burning calories, but building strength, burning fat and carbs, and increasing the amount of oxygen you can efficiently consume and use. And you can't do all that by running like a speed demon. Too many runners are just trying to run fast all the time, whether it's because they're in a workout zone, they're limited in time, or just because they want to burn the most calories. But the ability to change is key to getting all the benefits of running.
An easy jog won't burn many calories, but it's great for recovery and stress relief. He adds that running slow and long helps the muscles draw more oxygen and the mitochondria in the muscle work more efficiently.
Running faster, such as paced and interval exercises, conditions the heart and lungs to push more oxygen to the muscles, so you can run faster and stay at that pace for longer.
If you don't incorporate all of these exercises into one training plan, you will eventually get to a steady level in calorie burning and performance. The more efficient you become as a runner, the more efficient your metabolism becomes. To keep improving, you need to vary the incline, intensity, and speed you're running at.
