<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCertain elements influence how much or how little calories are burned per session. Let’s have a look at what these variables are. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Body Weight – the more you weigh,\nthe more calories you will burn since you’re exerting a lot of pressure to\npaddle. <\/li>
- Percent of Body Fat – you certainly\ncan burn fat that isn’t there or can’t be broken down. <\/li>
- Age – as you become older and older,\nyour ability to burn fat reduces since you’re not exerting the same pressure\nand tension as a young person would. <\/li>
- Sex – with an unbiased point of\nview, men tend to lose more calories than women.<\/li>
- The intensity of Paddling –\ndifferent paddleboard strokes will exert a different form of challenge or\nintensity into the workout. <\/li>
- Conditioning Level – variables like\nwater and wind can play a significant role since they can pose difficulty as\nyou paddle therefore causing you to use much more energy and therefore burning\nmore calories.<\/li>
- Metabolism – the lower your rate of\nmetabolism, the fewer calories you will burn out. <\/li>
- Paddling experience – as you’ve read\nabove, stand up paddleboard racing cuts down the most number of calories, but\nyou can only engage in racing if you’re advanced. Beginners can’t partake in\nthat activity. <\/li>
- The efficiency of movement or\nTechnique – this goes hand in hand with your paddling experience. With time and\npractice, you will be able to learn the much-needed techniques for a more\nefficient workout. <\/li>
- Environmental conditions when\npaddling- are there constraints in your workout? These can also affect the\ncalories burn you will experience. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
These are only but a few factors that affect how much\ncalories you will be burning regardless of the type of stand up paddle boarding\nyou will be doing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Different Paddle<\/strong>board<\/strong>ing Types\n<\/strong>&\nCalories <\/strong>Burned<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
There are many types of workouts you can do while on a SUP,\nand even off-board. From the surfing point of view to paddleboard racing,\ntouring, and even cruising – what most consider to be recreational paddling;\nyou can burn almost the same calories in an hour as it gets you doing cardio in\nthe gym. So you might want to hold off paying your next membership. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What’s great about this type of exercising, you can burn\ncalories even as a beginner, as an elderly, athlete, child, and simply people\nof all ages and sizes because of it’s low impact. What’s crucial with this type\nof calorie burning is that you will be training on endurance and strength\nneeded to paddle the water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As you burn out your core\u2019s abs or\noblique muscles, you’re also working your psoas muscles, tricep muscles, among\nmany other muscles in the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1.\nCalories Burned SUP Surfing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Surfing is the number one stand up paddleboarding activities numerous people come to partake in. It offers cross-training since you’re burning out calories from your thighs as much as you’re burning calories in your upper body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This type of activity usually has one working against waves, where if you’re moving with bigger or rougher waves, you’ll be exerting more energy, hence, burning more calories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For about an hour of surfing with subtle waves, you can burn approximately 623-735 calories. The best thing about this type of paddleboarding is that it gives you a full-body workout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And most people surf an average of two hours to two and a half hours. In total, that’s 1,470 calories burned in just one session of paddleboarding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.\nCalories Burned SUP Racing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Nowadays, there are numerous paddleboarding races – short\nand long distances. It offers the most intense paddleboarding because not only\nare you trying to maintain your balance and stability, your fighting to keep\nyour speed. Most of the workouts in this category will affect the core muscle,\nbut you’ll also be experience burnouts in your chest area with your heart rate\nand cardiovascular system at full throttle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a typical five-mile race, you can burn a total of 710 to\n1125 calories in under an hour, since this is one of the short distance races.\nThe race is estimated to take about 45 to 55 minutes depending on various other\nfactors like what stroke was used? What was the stroke speed or intensity? What\nwere the environmental conditions? Was the water steady or rocky?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3.\nCalories Burned SUP Touring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
With flat water touring, it’s not as intense as the latter\nabove. You will be paddling over long distances and that’s where all the\nworkout goes to. You will also be moving at moderate speed hence the\nchallenging part will be to keep steady and strong the entire time as you\nmaintain balance and stability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a non-stop paddle, moving at an average of 3 mph, you\ncan burn about 615 to 708 calories in under an hour. For those who love\nadventure and simply exploring mother nature, this flatwater cruise is an\nexcellent choice to go out burning calories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4.\nCalories Burned SUP Yoga<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Another intensive exercise workout is yoga. It’s calming and\nmeditative, but at the same time, it’s intense not only to the physical body\nbut the mind and spirit as well. This exhilaration paddleboarding has one doing\nall sorts of poses, routines, and workouts like vinyasa, yoga sequences, HIIT\ncardio workout among other variations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With such an energetic flow, you can easily burn out 415 to\n550 calories in an hour. Well yes, it’s not much compared to the other types of\npaddleboarding activities, but it\noutperforms land yoga – especially with the wind and water in constant motion\nduring your workout session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5.\nCalories Burned Recreational Paddling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Last but not least, recreational paddling. It’s considered\nmore relaxed than touring as you’re paddling through calm waters in a\nslow-motion with light winds. The casual pace of such an activity ranges\nbetween two to three mph. The calories burned in this activity is between 305\nto 430 in one hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is double the amount of calories you burn on a casual\nday warning moderately on land. With\nadditional variables like rocky waters, strong winds, riding waves, among\nothers, you could be burning way more calories than the estimate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paddle Boarding Compared To Other Sports<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
So how about before we wind up, we take a look at how many\ncalories we’re burning with other known sports? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

- Biking – you can burn an estimate of\n480 calories an hour.<\/li>

Either way, stand up paddleboarding\nproves again and again that it can really build on your balance, core strength,\nendurance, plus stability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tips to Burn More\nEfficiently<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Let’s now have a look at some tips you should use to ensure\nyou make the most out of every workout to burn as many calories as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Check your foam – time and time again, one is advised to use their core muscles rather than the arms. This way you won’t guy tired easily and will be able to work out for longer. You should also ensure that your knees are bent rather than straight to help with balance. Finally, avoid looking down as to sail.<\/li>
- Distribute your energy- to already know that paddleboarding is a full-body workout. So you have to build the right momentum to ensure you are equally exercising every muscle in the body as you use up the strength equally as well.<\/li>
- Do some warm-ups off-board – the purpose of warm-ups is to get you energized for the task ahead. If you slop this part then you risk hurting your muscles by staining them too much or getting muscle pulls and spasms. <\/li>
- Reenergize – workout is workout regardless of your location. Hence, don’t forget to carry some snacks, water, or health drinks to keep you hydrated and energy boosted.<\/li>
- Practice Proper Paddling Technique – if you end up doing the wrong stroke or paddling in the wrong way, you will be wasting your energy that otherwise would be used to burn calories. This is why basic instructions will guide you on how to use your body to leverage weight, how to use your torso when changing course, directions, or just turning. Using the right paddling technique will help you do a more efficient workout which then means burning more calories. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
