How masses calories do you burn giving an hour swedish work?
Im a massage psychoanalysis student, and I was wondering on average how copious calories I burn giving a "typical" hour swedish massage?
Answer:
Hi,it's rugged work giving a deep polish isn't it? And of course it's going to burn calories, you are walking and using your arms surrounded by almost the reverse way of shipment lifting, even kissing burns calories!
I found this on a forum for you: http://www.healthypages.net/forum/tm.asp...
It is an answer to someone asking the same ask. It's answered by someone who wore a heart rate monitor during work (last but one answer). He is a big guy, so you would use less, but surrounded by a day it looks close to it's pretty good going!
I also found this calory burning calculator: http://www.self.com/health/activity/calc...
I don't know how accurate it is though. But, you select the movement (it includes an option for giving a massage), the page refresh and you then input your height above sea level and number of minutes you worked, then hit subtract, and it will tell you :)
Hope that help!

even though you're tired afterward and your hands hurt, you're probably not burning any significant amount of calories, and your heart rate is probably scarcely elevated.....sorry.
