Riding a bike is one way to get moving and burn calories.

There are countless ways to get moving and exercise (yes, even while many gyms remain closed). If the idea ofburning a ton of calories during a workout motivates you, then I hate to break it to you, but you may be way overestimating your calorie burn. Especially if you judge the number of calories you burned on factors like how much you sweat or how hard it felt.

While sweat and effort are two ways to tell if you're challenging yourself, the only true way to gauge calorie burn is with an accurate heart rate monitor that takes into account your personal factors, like age, sex, weight and height.

Whether you use a fancy heart rate monitor or other fitness tracker to tell you your calorie burn, it's still good to have an idea of how many calories the most common exercises burn when heading into your workouts. Keep reading to find out how many calories common exercises burn and how to figure out your own personal calorie burn during workouts.

Professional fitness trainer Brooke Taylor explainsthat the main factors that differentiate how many calories you burn in exercise include:

Heart rate training zone: You'll want to figure out your target heart rate and your maximum heart rate zones to better understand what to aim for when you exercise.

Resting heart rate: A normal resting heart rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute.

Weight: In general, the more you weigh, the more calories you will burn during exercise.

Types of exercise: Cardio-based workouts burn more calories than other types of workouts like lifting weights or yoga.

Even though everyone is different, there are general estimates for how many calories you can burn when you exercise. The estimates below are calculated based on someone who weighs 130 pounds, based on theAmerican Council on Exercise (ACE) calculator. You can use that calculator to get a close estimate of how many calories you would burn during many common activities.

Running for 30 minutes burns about 206 calories.

206 calories per 30 minutes

Running at even a slow pace burns a lot of calories for 30 minutes. On average, running burns between 10.8 to 16 calories per minute and putting it at the top of the list of workouts that burn the most calories. To up the calorie burn, increase the intensity or add in sprint intervals.

176 calories per 30 minutes

Hiking is one of the best ways to escape to the outdoors, turn off technology and get in some movement. And since you're not walking on a level path like walking down the street, navigating different terrains or hills challenges more muscles, so you burn more calories.

117 calories per 30 minutes

If you're an avid biker, you may go faster than 5.5 mph, but if you tend to bike at a leisurely pace, you can still burn 117 calories per 30 minutes. Note that this is different than if you do interval training or classes on spin bikes.

115 calories per 10 minutes

Let out your inner kid and take upjump ropefor a surprisingly fast way to burn a ton of calories. Just 10 minutes of jumping rope burns 115 calories.

Walking is a simple exercise that can help you burn calories.

97 calories per 30 minutes

Walking is the most simple and accessible form of exercise. And if you're anything like me, you rely on walks for much needed breaks from the house while in quarantine. Even if you don't walk for 30 minutes or longer on every walk, all of the short walks you take add up throughout the day.

88 calories per 30 minutes

Although not the quickest way to burn calories, lifting weights increases strength, muscle tone and enhances your metabolism. The more muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn at rest.

73 calories per 30 minutes

While stretching or restorative yoga may not burn a ton of calories, it still warrants a well-deserved spot in your weekly workout lineup for enhanced mobility, flexibility, recovery and tension relief.
