Mountain hiking – calories burned?
Does anyone know how I can figure out the # of calories burned mountain hiking?
I hiked Mt Washington in NH, a 6200 ft mountain. Covered 9 miles with an elevation gain of about 4000 feet. Took around 8 hours total.
I’m 24, female, 105 lbs.
Thanks!
Mountain Biking:
Mountain biking is a high endurance activity that primarily engages all the muscles in the lower body. This resistance workout challenges the thighs, calves, hips and glutes as you build up speed and make your way across challenging terrain. Mountain biking will elevate the heart rate and increase the metabolism, and ir’s a great calorie-burning workout overall!
This activity burns approximately
559 calories per hour for an average, 145-pound person.
