How many calories does ice skating burn
An hour of ice skating burns about 515 kcal if you weigh around 70 kg.
That's about
These numbers are for an adult of about 70 kg. A heavier skater burns more, a lighter one a little less.
Half an hour is about 255 kcal and an hour about 515. Slow, easy laps at the winter rink come to about 405 an hour, still more than an hour of table tennis.
Your legs push, your middle keeps you upright and the cold keeps you moving. Hanging on to the side the whole time counts for much less, sadly.
Tips
- 1Book a session with friends, an hour goes quicker than you think.
- 2Let go of the side rail as soon as you can, the gliding is where the work is.
- 3Go to an outdoor rink and walk home through town afterwards.
