Calories
Burned in a Spinning Class
First,
convert your current weight to kilograms
By dividing by 2.2.
Example 150# person = 68.2 kilo
Here are the
conversions, you'll have to decide how fast and intense you
worked out. You can "piece meal" it and add it together
or figure out what your average is.
The following
numbers are based on ONE HOUR's worth of work.
Take that into consideration on how long the class is.
Bicycling 10-11.9 miles per hour, leisure light effort
Use Kilo weight x 6.0= calories per hour
12-13.9 miles
per hour, leisure moderate effort
Kilo weight x 8.0 = calories per hour
14-15.9 miles
per hour, racing, fast effort
Kilo weight x 10.0 = calories per hour
16-19 miles per
hour, racing very fast
Kilo weight x 12.0 = calories per hour
Over 20 miles
per hour, racing
Kilo weight x 16.0 = calories per hour
These factors
I'm using are METS or metabolic equivalents determined by
the American College of Sports Medicine
