    It differs for each individual, due to your weight bpm etc best to either get a heart rate monitor or if you are like me and it's not possible at this time I use this formula:

    I usually take my bpm during each exercise and then use this formula C=(0.4472 X HR - 0.05741 X W +0.074 X A - 20.4022) X T / 4.184

    Example: 28 year old weighing 146lbs average heartrate during exercise session that lasted 36min was 138bpm
    She Burnt: C= (0.4472 X 138 - 0.05741 X 146 + 0.074 X 28 - 20.4022) X 36 / 4.184 =301 calories.

    NB: Heartrate = 10sec X 6

    As much as it is a pain to add it each time I find it gives a more accurate reading than the database. Hope this helps :)
