Types of Aerobic Activitiesand Basic WorkoutsOutdoor ActivitiesAerobic activities, other than running and swimming, are briefly described below.More extensive discussions are provided in the section on indoor activities, sinceequipment used indoors typically has information about work rate and intensity. However,Table 3-5 presents the amount of energy expended per hour (kcal/hr) in these activities asa function of work rate. The values are for a 70 kg male. To get a more accurate estimatefor yourself, multiple the number by your weight in kg and divide by 70.Table 3-5.

Importantly, indoor bicycle ergometers have been used for manyyears to study the responses of the body to exercise.
