Stand-up Paddle Board are one of those sports that does not seem like exercise, but truly are. Although quiet rowing on smooth flat water, even then you burn around 305 to 430 Calories during one hour. Truly, that beats looking at the street instead of standing before a wall, while you pedal on a bike or ellipse on any day.
The real amount of burned Calories changes according to how you move on the water. If you simply slip slowly around a lake or through some calm rivers, that stays in the bottom part of that range. Even so, if you raise the intensity or switch to a more difficult style, the numbers quickly grow.
How Many Calories Do You Burn on a Paddle Board
For instance, SUP racing… Here everything becomes serious. Athletes that race in that fashion, burn between 700 and 1,100 Calories each hour.
Here is truly high intensity.
Paddle Board on waves raises the numbers to another level. When you catch waves almost every moment during a whole hour, you can hope to burn around 623 to 735 Calories. Here is the wonderful part: one hour of stand-up Paddle Board on waves matches the effort of four to six hours of usual surfing.
If you face bigger and difficult waves in less safe places, the burn even grows… But risking dangerous waves only for a bit more Calories does not deserve the effort.
Comparing Paddle Board with kayaking is more complex then one thinks. On calm water, Paddle Board usually burns 400 to 500 Calories each hour. And kayaking in same gentle conditions?
Around 300 to 400 Calories. The calmer the water, the less the kayaking numbers, commonly you find something close to 250 to 300 Calories for a whole hour.
Even so, many factors affect those estimates. Temperature of the water, windy conditions, your personal metabolism and how strongly you push… Everything matters.
Rowing directly against wind rather than slipping with wind makes a big difference. So those figures always are only guides, not promises.
Also, there is SUP yoga, that stretches your core and stabilizing muscles in a way that land yoga simply can not reach. One hour of yoga on a Paddle Board normally burns between 416 and 540 Calories. And standing on that unstable board strengthens your legs just as well as the arms, something that surprisingly many folks notice.
Paddle Board is also less harsh for your joints than running on hard roads. That makes it ideal for solid workouts without the usual wear and stress. The whole sport is easy to learn, and even newcomers get good Calories burns already from the first day.
Using a waterproof monitor, you can get exact data during the sessions, and you maybe wonder about what truly happens. Although Paddle Board clearly helps for losing weight, here is themain point: exercise is only half of the cause. What you eat most seriously affects the result.
