What are the amount of calories burned biking / cycling

Calculate the amount of calories burned biking and for a wide range of other activities like walking, swimming, cooking, playing pool, and tennis.

Of course the amount of calories burned while cycling is primarily dependent on how strenuous your cycling route is and how hard you attack it.

For example: Consider that a professional cyclist in a mountain stage of the Tour de France could easily burn over 1000 calories in an hour whereas the same cyclist on a flat route pedaling within his warm up heart rate zone will burn perhaps 100 calories. A big difference.

Other factors that will determine how many calories you burn biking

• your age
• build
• gender
• fitness level
• and weight. Heavier people will burn more calories exercising for the obvious reason of having to burn more energy to get their greater weight to a certain point.

The calories burned calculator below will give you a rough idea as to the amount of calories you can burn exercising at a moderate intensity level. It gives some statistics to work from for calorie counting but if you require something more accurate then I suggest you get yourself a heart rate and calories burned monitor.
