Hi,
I was wondering if one would burn more calories or would one's heart rate increase due to the heat.
I power walked today for an hour and didn't even have to jog cause my heart rate was between 165-175 per minute and 85% for me is around 161 which was great cause I don't like to jog for some reason.
Does walking in the heat increase your heartrate thus burning more calories?
Thanks! :wave:

yes the heat causes increased heart workload, the heart is trying to pump the blood faster thorugh the skin to get rid of the heat otherwise it would kill you otherwise, and heat makes you have to slow down,
so the workload is higher, as for burning more caloires I can't answer that.

At lower heart rates you tend to burn fat calories directly. You keep the glycogen (carbs) stores longer. Thus you can exercise longer and get tired slower. And you won't be as hungry when you are done. You get less overheated as well.
So, if weight loss is the goal, then slower pace at slower heart rate is a great idea - and better in the heat as well.
Regardless, stay hydrated!

I had a similar question I asked my brother about. He is a doctor and my question was I notice when I do my cardio in the morning my heart rate is much higher than when I do it in the evening. Also at night I have to work much harder to get my heart rate as high as I want it to be during cardio. So I asked him what determines how many calories you burn. The fact my heart rate is higher like in the morning or the fact I am working much harder in the evening but my heart rate isn't as high. He said its how fast the heart is beating that would determine how many calories you burn. The higher the heart rate the more calorie burn. So I think that might apply to your question with the heat. Hope that helps a bit.
