    Keep in mind that calorie burning is not universal. Intensity, weight, age and gender (and other factors) can make your calorie burn differ greatly.


    Intensity is a huge part of it - the more intense (a basic way of gauging your intensity can be your heart rate) the more caloreis burned

    A 200lb person will burn more calories than a 120lb person doing the same workout at the same intensity.

    A male will burn more.

    A younger person will burn more.

    Take this website for example (I've heard it is fairly accurate to hrms)

    Just expirement with ages, weights and heart rate to see what a difference small things like that can make :smile:

    This sounds doable. Espesially when I have to squeeze in something on a busy day.
