That&#8217;s exactly what ice skating offers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But before you get too excited and lace up your skates, it&#8217;s a good idea to understand exactly how many calories are burned during ice skating and what you can do to maximize its fitness benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let&#8217;s look into exactly how this seemingly leisure activity can turn into a powerful workout and help you achieve your fitness goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Many_Calories_Burned_In_1_Hour_Ice_Skating\"><\/span><b>How Many Calories Burned In 1 Hour Ice Skating?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can burn anywhere between 400-600 calories per hour while ice skating, depending on your weight and intensity level (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.calculator.net\/calories-burned-calculator.html?activity=3&amp;activity2=Ice+Skating%3A+general&amp;chour=1&amp;cmin=&amp;cweight=75&amp;cweightunit=k&amp;ctype=1&amp;x=Calculate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This puts it on par with other popular cardio exercises like running and <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/calories-burned-cycling\/\">cycling<\/a>. However, the calorie-burning potential of ice skating can vary greatly based on various factors such as speed, duration, and terrain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s why:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, let&#8217;s talk about <\/span><b>speed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The faster you skate, the more calories you burn. It&#8217;s as simple as that. Think about it like this: when you&#8217;re skating at a leisurely pace, you&#8217;re using less energy and thus burning fewer calories.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you pick up the pace and start skating faster your heart rate increases and you burn more calories. For instance, a person who does a brisk skate for an hour could burn around 500 calories, while someone who skates more intensely could burn up to<a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/700-calories-a-day\/\"> 700 calories<\/a> (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.calculator.net\/calories-burned-calculator.html?activity=3&amp;activity2=Ice+Skating%3A+general&amp;chour=1&amp;cmin=&amp;cweight=75&amp;cweightunit=k&amp;ctype=1&amp;x=Calculate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dropping pounds by the dozens without putting yourself through the wringer is everyone\u2019s weight loss pipe dream. But what if we told you that the BetterMe app can make that happen? <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=calories_burned_ice_skating\">Keep yourself in prime shape <\/a> with our fat-blasting workouts, delicious budget-sparing recipes, and body-transforming challenges with our app!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, the <\/span><b>duration<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of your ice skating session can significantly affect your calorie burn. It&#8217;s a game of longevity\u2014the longer you stay on the ice, the more calories you burn. An hour-long session will obviously burn more calories than a quick 15-minute skate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, if your goal is to burn as many calories as possible, aim for longer sessions on the ice. For example, if you burn 500 calories per hour, extending your session to two hours will take that up to a whopping 1000 calories (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.calculator.net\/calories-burned-calculator.html?activity=3&amp;activity2=Ice+Skating%3A+general&amp;chour=1&amp;cmin=&amp;cweight=75&amp;cweightunit=k&amp;ctype=1&amp;x=Calculate\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third, <\/span><b>how much you weigh<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> directly affects the number of calories you burn while ice skating. A person who weighs 180 pounds will naturally burn more calories while ice skating, compared to a person who weighs 120 pounds, given that they&#8217;re both skating at the same intensity and for the same duration (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/confident-living.org\/blog\/do-heavier-people-burn-more-calories-and-when-is-heavy-healthy\/#:~:text=Basically%2C%20the%20more%20you%20weigh,those%20with%20higher%20muscle%20mass.\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simply put; a heavier person needs to exert more energy to move their body and stay balanced on the ice, resulting in a higher calorie burn.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, <\/span><b>terrain<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can also play a big part in determining calorie burn. Even though ice surfaces tend to be flat, the condition of the ice can create variations that make you work harder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skating on smooth, well-maintained ice requires less effort than skating on rough, uneven ice. Also, outdoor skating, where you have to contend with wind resistance, can increase the intensity of the workout.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, a one hour session on a windy outdoor rink should result in more calories burned while ice skating than the same amount of time on an indoor rink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=calories_burned_ice_skating\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-30039 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/12.png\" alt=\"calories burned ice skating\" \/>\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_You_Burn_a_Lot_of_Calories_Ice_Skating\"><\/span><b>Can You Burn a Lot of Calories Ice Skating?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes; ice skating can burn up to 600 calories per hour. In fact, competitive figure skaters have been known to burn upwards of 1000 calories in a single performance.\u00a0 But how can you turn ice skating into an even more effective workout? You don&#8217;t need to be ice skating for 2 hours, try the following tips and tricks:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Master_The_Basics\"><\/span><b>Master The Basics<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your safety is paramount on the rink; before you amp up the intensity, make sure you have a good grasp of the basics. Ensure your posture is correct and that you&#8217;re skating with proper form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to experts, good skating technique involves keeping your knees slightly bent, your weight forward, and your arms relaxed by your sides. Make sure to keep a steady pace and avoid excessive gliding or coasting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Incorporate_Intervals\"><\/span><b>Incorporate Intervals<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re looking for a more intense workout on the ice, consider adding intervals to your routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intervals involve alternating between periods of high-intensity skating with rest periods of lower intensity skating. It&#8217;s an excellent way to boost your heart rate, increase calorie burn and improve overall fitness (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/interval-training-more-workout-in-less-time-and-you-can-do-it-2018042013569\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, you can skate at a moderate pace for two minutes followed by 30 seconds of all-out sprinting. Repeat this pattern throughout your session and you&#8217;ll be amazed at the difference it makes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_Some_Resistance\"><\/span><b>Add Some Resistance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If simply skating isn&#8217;t challenging enough for you, consider adding some resistance exercises to your routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can do this by using equipment ankle weights. If you&#8217;re not familiar with what ankle weights are, they are weighted bands that strap around your ankles to add resistance and make your muscles work harder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also incorporate resistance training by carrying small weights in each hand while skating. This will engage your arms and upper body, providing a full-body workout. Note, carrying weights is only for advanced skaters who have mastered balance and form.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><strong>Read more: <\/strong><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/how-many-calories-does-bowling-burn\/\"><i>How Many Calories Does Bowling Burn?<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skate_Backwards\"><\/span><b>Skate Backwards<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this may sound counterintuitive, skating backward can increase the engagement of different muscle groups and may require more concerted effort than skating forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try skating backward for intervals or find an open space where you can practice it consistently. This will not only help with balance and coordination, but it will also give your muscles a new challenge and enhance your calorie burn.

It&#8217;s one of the ice skating benefits for weight loss, as a\u00a0 body with a higher muscle mass will burn more calories at rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s how skating engages different muscle groups:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legs_Quadriceps_Hamstrings_and_Calves\"><\/span><b>Legs (Quadriceps, Hamstrings, and Calves)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skating primarily uses the muscles in your legs for propulsion and balance. These muscles include the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. As you push off and glide on the ice, your leg muscles contract and relax, building strength and endurance over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, skating requires a lot of balance and stability, which also engages smaller muscle groups in your legs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out our piece on <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/nordic-walking-technique\/\">Nordic Walking Technique<\/a> to discover other ways of engaging your leg muscles for strength and endurance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Core_Abdominals_and_Lower_Back\"><\/span><b>Core (Abdominals and Lower Back)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your core muscles are responsible for keeping you stable and balanced while skating. These include your abdominal muscles, obliques, and lower back muscles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you move and turn on the ice, your core muscles are constantly engaged to keep you upright and in control. This can help you build strength and definition in these muscle groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Upper_Body_Arms_Shoulders_and_Back\"><\/span><b>Upper Body (Arms, Shoulders, and Back)<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While skating may seem like primarily a lower-body workout, it also engages your upper-body muscles. As you swing your arms for balance and rhythm, you are using the muscles in your shoulders, back, and arms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, skating requires proper posture and alignment, which can help to strengthen your upper back muscles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want to build an attention-grabbing bubble butt, blast away fat that\u2019s stored in all the wrong places, spring-clean your diet, turn back the clock on your skin, skyrocket your self-confidence and shatter your insecurities?
