How many Calories burned during a 1 hour spin class?

Answer 1

Les Mill site advises that on average a female burns 390 calories per session and about 490 for men. It also advises that this is a very general estimation as there are many things that can affect a persons calorie consuption and advises using a heart rate monitor.

Answer 2

It would depend what form of cardio you are doing and what pace you are working at. It varies for everyone. If you walk you are going to burn less than if you ran. Swimming, running and cross country skiing are the forms of exercise that will burn the most calories per hour. Sometimes if you are using a machine and it counts your calories for you it can be incorrect. Cardio machines usually count more calories you've actually burned. So if you do the elliptical for an hour and it says you've burned 1005 calories you've probably burned only half that. Just remember that calories are just a number. If you balance your eating habits with working out you will receive the best results.

Answer 3

Hey. I go to the gym all the time and these machines are my fave. I love them mainly because they burn so much so quickly. In one hour you can burn anywhere between 700 - 900 it just depends on how much effort you put in and if you are not stopping eery now and again.

Hope i could help

Answer 4

As a female, 5'6" and 140 lbs, I burn about 700 calories in a 1 hour spin class. This number will be different for everyone since people push themselves to different limits and use different resistance levels.
I have been looking for this answer myself and the general consensus is it can be anything from 350 calories to over 500 calories for a 40 minute class.

This depends on the level of effort. high resistance and fast pace will burn more calories but no resistance sprints will burn very little as the bike does the work. High resistance burns more but not as much as resistance and speed combined.

A common misconception is a lot of calories are burnt as we sweat so much in the spin classes but that is just down to being is a closed environment.

But as with all exercise, a professional should be consulted to find the programme right for you.
Research has shown that an average 45 minute spinning class will help you burn around 500 calories.

Answer 5

It depends on the instructor. I wear a heart rate monitor at the gym and in a 45 minute class depending on the instructor I can burn 300-475 calories. It also varies on how hard you push yourself.

Answer 6

300 to 600 depending on how good you are i do 1000

Answer 7

My calculations come out to around 835. However it depends on a lot of things. Mostly how hard you peddle and where you put the settings on the bike.
