Read More »When working out, your muscles burn carbs and fat. When you perform low-intensity workouts, you burn fat, and when the intensity is higher, you burn more carbs. Since there is no way to know precisely how many carbs you burn, the breakdown of carbs is measured by calories. Calories are a combination of carbs and fat and are used by your body for energy. Swimming Swimming burns calories and protects your body. Your body is better protected in water because water is several hundred times denser than air and can neutralize gravity. You will carry less body weight because of the decrease in gravity, which makes you less susceptible to injury. According to "Women's Health" magazine, this is one of the best workouts for people with arthritis because swimming is a lot easier on your joints and gives you the opportunity to work out stiff muscles. When you are in water, the more submerged you are the more calories you will burn because of the constant resistance. By swimming laps, you are increasing your heart rate and using more muscles than the average workout, allowing for the breakdown of carbs. Research from the Mayo Clinic shows that an average 160-pound person can burn up to 511 calories in one hour of lap swimming. Cardio Exercises such as running, walking and cycling are examples of cardio workouts. These exercises mostly use the same muscles but in different ways. The primary muscles include the hamstring, quadratic and calf muscles. As you use muscles to perform the activity, your body burns calories that it needs for energy to perform each task. According to the Mayo Clinic, in one hour, a 160-pound person can burn 606 calories while running, 314 calories while walking and 292 calories while cycling. If you are performing these exercises at a high intensity, you have a better chance of burning more carbs than fat. Dancing Dancing gives you the opportunity to work all of your major muscle groups while improving coordination. You can literally shake off the calories while shaping up your physique. A 160-pound person doing ballroom dancing for one hour can burn 219 calories. Other dance workouts such as hip-hop, salsa and jazz dancing are more intense forms of exercise that burn more carbs than fat. Performing these types of dance for an hour allows you to burn 200 to 400 calories. If you are interested in your own form of dance, you can still burn 200 plus calories by dancing for one hour.
