Calories Burned During an Ultimate Grind Workout

One of the Ultimate Grinders recently asked me to write a blog post discussing the number of calories participants’ burn during a typical Ultimate Grind workout. I agreed, but I also wanted to mention 2 of the Ultimate Grind’s “extra calorie burning goals.”

Here’s the breakdown:
5 minute corrective exercise warm up = 24 calories
10 minutes of Full-body cardio warm-up = 83 calories
10 minutes of mixed calisthenics = 94 calories
30 minutes of full-body circuit training = 282 calories
5 minute flexibility cool-down = 24 calories
Total calories burned during a single Ultimate Grind workout = 507 calories

2 Extra calorie burning goals of the Ultimate Grind:
#1 Building muscle -> A good goal for a 6 week season is to gain 5 pounds of muscle and lose 5 pounds of fat. This would cause you to burn an extra 175 to 250 calories everyday without exercising at all. This is because muscle in naturally active and works to burn calories.
#2 Never plateau -> When your body gets used to a particular workout, the workout no longer has the same muscle building and fat burning effects. By continuing to progress and change our Ultimate Grind workouts, you’ll never have to worry about the plateaus!
