Calorie burn is the amount of energy your body expends during physical activity. This is measured in kilocalories (kcal). Higher-intensity activities and heavier body weight both increase calorie burn during the same duration of exercise.
Heavier bodies require more energy to move, so they burn more calories during the same activity. A 200-lb person burns more calories jogging than a 150-lb person.
This gives a reliable estimate, but individual metabolism varies. Use it as a guide alongside actual results for your best estimate.
Running, HIIT, swimming, and jump rope are among the highest calorie-burning activities per minute.
