More than one.: How many calories you burn depends on a number of things including how vigorously you do it. Some sports with good calorie-burning potential include running, basketball, swimming, lacrosse, step aerobics, ice hockey, elliptical machine, cycling, tennis, racquetball & boxing.

Swimming.: Swimming affords us a tremendous calorie burn in a no-impact exercise.
