How many calories do you burn in your daily workout?
I do a half hour on the treadmill and burn 400 calories, and I'm not sure how that compares to other workouts. I also do Jazzercise and play tennis, and I wonder how many calories those workouts burn. Is there a way to measure calories you are burning while exercising (besides treadmill)
Just curious! Thanks!

Re: How many calories do you burn in your daily workout?
I wouldn't trust the calories burned on the treadmill to be honest. I have a heart rate monitor that will tell me how many calories I burned and the treadmill told me that I burned 2x as much as I actually did! I would definitely invest in one if you are trying to accurately measure how many calories you burn!

I agree. The same thing happened to me when I used my heartrate monitor. I read somewhere that treadmills calculate calories burned based on a 160 pound man (or something similar) so it's not accurate for most people.

I typically burn about 400-500 calories on the elliptical and then I do weights after that. I also workout with a trainer twice a week but I have no clue as to how many calories I burn with him.

Re: How many calories do you burn in your daily workout?
i run mostly on the road as my primary workout and estimate that i burn roughly 100 calories for every mile i run-and maybe a little extra if it's a hilly course.

I agree! If you do one of the programs and enter your weight and age it is slightly more accurate. When I enter specific information about myself I usually subtract 100-200 calories from what they say to get a good estimate.

Re: How many calories do you burn in your daily workout?
I swim for 35-40 minutes and burn about 400-500 calories depending on how fast and for how long I swim. I do interval swims.
I think this is by far the most bang for my work out buck.
I'm also starving after..I could eat my flip flops.

Re: How many calories do you burn in your daily workout?
I dont think the machines at the gym are 100% accurate. For one you have to put your height/weight/sex in. If you dont, then it is just taking an estimate.
I have a garmin watch and heart rate monitor which shows I burn 74 calories per mile (or 10 minutes). Still not sure how accurate this is.
My old polar watch used to show 100 cal/mile so its confusing.
Weight lifting shows less calorie burn however I know its doing something good!

Weight lifting does burn less calories at the time you are lifting, however you burn more calories throughout the day vs. cardio where you will burn the most calories during the actual exercise.
