Calories burned for workouts..

Here is an accurately conservative way to calculate your calories burned. Create 2 custom workouts, one for moderate and one for high... each should be 1 minute long and use the list below to see how many calories you burn (depending on your weight) for both moderate and high.

Calories Burned for Workouts
Moderate Intensity:
100-150lbs 6 calories per minute
150-200lbs 8 calories per minute
200-250lbs 10 calories per minute
250-300lbs 12 calories per minute
High Intensity
100-150lbs 9 calories per minute
150-200lbs 11 calories per minute
200-250lbs 13 calories per minute
250-300lbs 15 calories per minute
Moderate is most of the workout, high is things like sprints, burpees, pushups, pullups, anything where you are moving through a larger area of space. Spin and Swimming are always moderate, (unless you are mtn biking...hard.) Most of our workouts are about 20-30 percent high and 70-80 percent moderate.

What about rowing, if it is pretty strenuous?

Here is a good one on calories burned and why. Judging from his post I would say this is based on a 185 lb person... Ignore the hater comments at the bottom, this may not be perfectly scientifically accurate but it its a good benchmark for all of the workouts he listed.
