Athletes seeking to maximize their cardiovascular exercise for intense calorie burn won't find a better activity than running. The American College of Sports Medicine reports that a 155-pound adult who jogs at a leisurely 5 mph pace -- a 12-minute mile -- burns 563 calories in an hour. Increasing the speed to 6 mph increases the burn to 704 calories per hour, approximately 50 percent more than one hour of Bikram yoga. Although Bikram yoga does not burn as many calories as running, it does provide significant health benefits one should not overlook -- especially since running doesn't provide them.
