Choose Your Outdoor Cardio


Now that the weather is getting nicer, more and more people are going to want to get out of the cramped fluorescent gym and get outside to get their cardio in. Here is a compilation of some of the best outdoor cardio exercises, and how many calories you'll burn doing an hour of each. These calculations are all based on a 130 pound woman, so it will vary slightly depending on your weight.

Running at 6mph               593 calories burned
Walking at 4mph               304 calories burned
