5 Ways to Burn 500 Calories in 30 Minutes<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/strong> I’m very dismayed to see that an NASM trainer put his name to this as he should know MUCH better.<\/p>\nThe amount of calories your body can burn greatly depends on how efficiently your heart can pump blood through your lungs to be\u00a0oxygenated. The heart of a highly-conditioned athlete can pump a greater volume of blood with fewer beats and can beat at a higher rate for longer. If you can’t do that, there’s no way that you’re reaching 17 calories per minute consistently for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
I’ve known of some guys in their twenties, over 300 to 350lbs, who could get their calorie burn up pretty high, as logged by a BodyBugg. This was AFTER they’d been doing a regular exercise regimen long enough that they could maintain a steady pace, even if it wasn’t vigorous. A very large person might burn what seems like a high rate of calories because they are moving a larger body mass but they can’t maintain a steady pace of physical activity.<\/p>\n
I work out regularly and I am fortunate to have developed excellent cardio health. My resting heart rate is in the 50s and I can easily work out with my heart rate up at 150. But I know from using the BodyBugg that my per minute calorie burn is about 6-8 calories MAXIMUM. For me to go beyond that, I might have to undertake very extreme physical conditioning to see if I can push myself to another level.<\/p>\n
I really have to laugh at the photo that accompanies the article—the happy rope jumper!! JUST TRY to jump rope for 30 minutes. JUST TRY to jump rope for a consistent minute or two. Your body’s capacity for burning calories depends on many factors including your height and weight, age, gender, and to a great degree, your cardiovascular efficiency. 500 calories in 30 minutes? It’s just media misinformation to get your attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Everytime I see some “500 calories in 30 minutes” claim it really makes my blood boil. It’s a complete scam. For most people, their bodies are not physiologically capable of burning calories at that rate, no matter how hard they work at it. Normally, I wouldn’t spread this kind of information but I’ll go ahead … <\/p>\n
