5 Workouts That Burn More Calories Than Spin Class
Approximate Calories Burned Per Hour: 600 to 800
Hitting the indoor rowing machine is a killer way to give calories the heave-ho. It provides a better total-body workout than the spin bike, too: According to Josh Kernen, C.S.C.S., D.P.T., co-owner of Bridgetown Physical Therapy and Training Studio, cranking those handlebars utilizes nine major muscle groups, including the quads, hamstrings, abs, triceps, biceps, and more.
To maximize the burn, Smith recommends interval-style rowing: “Do 500 to 1,000 meters per interval with a two-minute break in between, or vary your intervals for an hour (alternating between a one-minute interval with a 30-second break, and a two-minute interval with a one-minute break).”
