To lose one pound, you must burn 3,500 calories more than you consume. When comparing exercise options, cardiovascular exercise

burns the greatest number of calories in the shortest amount of time. But not all cardio is the same. For a 150-pound person, one hour of

walking at 4 miles per hour burns about 420 calories, while the same person running at 6 miles per hour burns 750 in the same amount of

time. Increasing the intensity of the activity by moving faster or increasing resistance burns more calories. In the case of walking, it takes nearly nine hours to burn one pound. For running, it would take about 4 hours 40 minutes. Your Kickboxing classes at CMA can burn

between 600 and 1200 calories per hour depending on several factors including the intensity that you train with. The harder you go, the more you burn! ctmartialarts.com
