I had one of the best workouts I have had yet!!! I wear a HRM with a chest strap. I have been trying to maintain a steady heart rate for 60 mins.. I kept my heart rate between 125 and 152 non stop for 60 mins. Doing various workouts from jogging on the treadmill to hitting the ole punching bag, weight lifting, crunches and 6 miles on the stationary bike. When it was said and done the HRM said I burned 1551 calories !!! I had to really push myself but I feel awesome now !

I hope everyone has a great day and I wish you all the best of luck in your weight loss journey !

    you certainly put my measly 221 calorie burn to shame. Now, thanks to you, I have to run round the block for 6 hours to beat your calorie burn because I am competitive that way! LOL. Seriously though, that is an AWESOME workout and you have totally earned bragging rights! I bow down to you sir! :)

    That totally has me pumped up for my workout that I have planned in the next hour. It might not give me 15?? calories but maybe I can push myself a little more today and see what I do get.

    Thats amazing. Do you plan out eating all of your 1500 exercise calories back? Just curious.

    No I dont eat any of the calories back that I burn off.. Seems like a waste to me to eat them back.. But alot of people say to eat them back.. I guess it just depends on what works best for you.
