Figuring out how many calories you burn when running is, on a simple level, a fairly straightforward calculation. Most experts (and lots of studies) suggest that a person of average weight burns about 100 calories in a mile of running.
The act of jogging requires more muscle engagement, which leads to more calories burned. Mini trampolines, which are common at many gyms, are ideal for jogging. A 125-pound person will burn 200 calories in an hour of jogging on a mini trampoline and a 185-pound person will burn 294 calories during the same workout.
