I do fitness blender workouts on YouTube probably five times a week for 30-60 minutes. The calories burnt depends on what I do and varies a lot but typically estimate around 400 for a longer workout. I eat back half.0

That's great.May I ask how many calories do you eat? I am striving hard to burn the same amount of calories but as of now it's only 200. Good luck to you 0 -
I don't feel the need for a gym membership until the dead of winter. Right now I garden, walk, hike, swim, and practice yoga. The times for all of these varies depending on how much time I have and how I feel.
I don't eat all my exercise calories back but don't have a system for this - I stop eating when I'm full and usually have a few hundred calories left over at the end of the day. I've heard many people say they don't eat more than 50% of their exercise calories back.0 -

Woww...what you do seems like a lot of fun.I love swimming too.What a grear way to burn fat. 0 -
Swimming and water aerobics and at least a mile walk every day...unless it's raining or under 50 degrees. I might swim when it's cold because the water is heated, but I'm not walking around for miles when it's so cold.
I do bodyweight stuff, yoga and sometimes a workout tape in the house.0 -

I mainly do my workouts at the gym, but if I can't go/don't feel it then I use a range of apps called Sworkit. They have lots of different ones, although my favourite is the stretching one. You put in how long you want to work out then follow along 0

I HATE the gym. So I do Fitness Blender type workouts at home, that's pretty much all I did for several months 5 or 6 times a week. Now I've started running outside too.
So now I run 3-4 times a week and do 1 or 2 strength/resistance workouts at home per week.
Running 3.5 miles I burn about 600 calories, I wear a heart rate monitor so eat most of those back if I'm hungry.
I try to run early morning, anything else whenever I can be bothered getting round to it really!0 -
1)What do you do? Stationary recumbent > 16 mph or walk average 3.8 mph or miscellaneous youtube videos.
2) How long do you do it for? 40-60 minutes. Occasionally longer.
3) Hoe many calories does it burn? I enter a guess of 5 calories per minute
4) How many days a week? 4-6.
5) What time do you do it? Whenever I get around to it.
6) Do you eat back your workout calories? Nope because I really don't know how many I burn. I exercise for overall health benefit.0 -

I eat 1200. When I first started out I found it hard to burn even 100 calories. Now I can easily do 300, you just have to build up to it.0 -
Sometimes my little one will get sick and I refuse to take him to the gym daycare when he's sick (as I hope the other parents will do the same for me) So I have at home workouts-
1)What do you do? At home workouts using my body weight - push up's, dips, and I have a set of weights that I'll use every so often.
2) How long do you do it for? Always an hour
3) Hoe many calories does it burn? I use the, "Calisthenics low moderate effort," exercise on MFP and I think that says I burn 200 in an hour.
4) How many days a week? If little one is super sick and I can't go to gym at all for the week then I do it it at least 4x in the week
5) What time do you do it? during the childs nap with is usually 11am
6) Do you eat back your workout calories? - try to eat back only half.0 -

Ya, swimming gave me 711 calories for 64 minutes
I had 589 calories left over at the end of the day but wasn't hungry enough to eat more.

Ohh perfect! I am going to check out the app.Thank you so much for your answer,I needed something I could follow along at home on my convenience.I mainly do my workouts at the gym, but if I can't go/don't feel it then I use a range of apps called Sworkit.

Haha..I hate gyms too lol
And I love fitness blender workouts, hopefully I would gain the stamina to complete the whole workout.
It's great that you go out for a run, running on ground is much more effective than running on treadmill.

a) stretches, 20-30 minutes + calisthenics ~ 40 mins, daily. No idea re cals burned, do not log. Done in morning ~1 hr after waking
b) cardio machines (stationary bike, treadmill, elliptical), or walking outside, prob every other day or so, 40-60 mins, done either after stretches + calisthenics or later in the day. Cal burn = 200-300, according to machines or websites (not MFP), yes log this. I eat back my calories, yup. Good luck to you as well

I exercise 35-45 minutes 5-6 days a week at home. I have a freestanding punching bag that I use, a stationary bike, some dumbbells, and I walk. I alternate workouts and usually burn 250-300 calories depending on what I do. I usually eat back half of my workout calories. On weekdays I exercise at 6:30am and weekends whenever I feel like it. I also wear a pedometer and try to get in at least 8-10,000 steps a day.0

I just looked up calisthenics because the name sounds like some cute dance kind of workout. But dayum there was a guy doing push ups on metal bars and ladders. *_* kudos to you for having such great strength and stamina. it is on whole another level. *_*

1)What do you do?
I either go to the park at 5:30 am and power walk 6 miles or I stay in and pop in a Leslie Sansone Walk at Home video. I golf once or twice a week and on those days by walking and pulling my clubs I burn about 900 calories.
2) How long do you do it for?
6 Miles takes me about 100 minutes on average to complete.
3) Hoe many calories does it burn?
On average about 300 calories when walking 6 miles. If I am doing a Walk at Home video (considered low impact aerobics) I burn about 300 calories in 70 minutes,
4) How many days a week?
6 days at least. I am trying to learn to take a rest day.
5) What time do you do it?
Before sunrise daily. I get up at 4:30 am and drink two cups of coffee and then I get going.
6) Do you eat back your workout calories?
Not usually....if there is a holiday or birthday forth coming I have all the calories I need banked in order to be able to enjoy the festivities and not worry about gaining weight. I come from a large family so we celebrate quite often.0 -
I do belong to a gym which is at my local community center. So it's not the kind of gym filled with people who are already fit and trim. I mean, we do have some of those but then it's just a bunch of regular folks -- old, young, men, women. However, the darn place has been closed for THREE WEEKS, first to set up for our county fair, and then to do maintenance and upkeep. It totally makes sense for them to do that right after the fair when they have all the equipment moved out, etc. But still annoying.
So anyway, it's just too dang hot for me to want to do any walking. I have looked at some videos on youtube but sigh... so boring and I hate them. But then it occurred to me, why am I thinking that I have to do those movements along with music and the person who's leading. So now I've been putting on on-demand episodes of various TV shows that I've wanted to watch but just never got around to it. At the moment I'm working my way through a season of Hell's Kitchen. The show is divided up into segments -- first shorter challenge, winning team goes on reward while losing team slaves away back in the kitchen, prep for the main challenge, then the main challenge. With commercial breaks in there. So I start and do some high step type movements until the first challenge is done. Then I move into some fast side-by-side lunge things like they do in aerobics classes. Then I do some sort-of dance hop things. I move my arms up and down also which gets the heart rate going.
By dividing it up according to what part of the show they're on it makes it so much more doable. I'm always pleasantly surprised at how fast the time has gone. I can't actually make it all the way through an entire episode, not yet. But that's my goal.
So that's been my solution while the gym is closed and it's too hot to walk outside. The gym re-opened today though, but I'm thinking I'm going to keep my Hell's Kitchen Workout even when I do go to the gym. It will just be some extra movement.

I swim and dance in the water with 3 lb weights..
I dance with 3 lb weights.. Dance without them.

Mixture of elliptical, bicycling and body-weight exercises
1. I accept the number Precor says although I sometimes wonder .. typically 525 Cal
2. Bicycling I set as 5 minutes per mile -- typically 45 - 90 minutes
3. Body weight exercises I set as 50 Cal for every 7 minutes. This seems about right if I go by the time before I start to sweat and correlate the same with the Precor.0 -
^^ I forgot - swimming. I plug in the time and accept what MFP says.0
