How many calories does Tiger-Rock Martial Arts Burn per hour?

Tiger-Rock Martial arts is one of the most effective weight-loss activities around. It offers a full-body workout by employing movements that exercise all major muscle groups, as well as incorporate balance and dexterity. Using punching, kicking and fight stances, individuals work their arms, legs, glutes and core through an activity that is challenging and fun at the same time. Despite martial arts stereotypes, it is not strictly about fighting techniques. It’s about improving fitness levels, self-discipline and overall health.

The Winning Number

So the big question is how many calories does an hour’s worth of martial arts burn? Quite a lot actually. An average 145 pound person engaging in one hour’s worth of Tiger-Rock Martial Arts can expect to burn approximately 870 calories. In order to burn the same amount, a runner of the same weight would need to run an 8 minute mile for 60 minutes or bicycle at 14 miles per hour for 90 minutes.  Comparatively, martial arts is a hot calorie burner.

Healthy Benefits

Although there are many forms and variations of martial arts, they do share a few common traits, such as heritage and philosophy. Regardless of the type of martial arts that you choose to participate in - TaeKwonDo, Karate, Judo, Kenpo, Jiu-Jitsu - their physical activity levels offer many of the same benefits:

• Improved heart and lung function
• Strengthening and toning of all major muscle groups
• High calorie burn for a leaner, more svelte physique
• Better posture and balance
• Enhanced core strength and stability
