The gym I go to has a circuit that I use. I am on a machine for 30 seconds then jog in place for 30 sec. I do this for about 25 minutes. If I know my heart rate during exercise, then how do I figure out how many calories I burned?? Is there an online calculator anyone knows about??

    Allie... The most precise way would be through the use of a heart rate monitor where you've input your age, height, and weight and worn it through your entire exercise routine. With some looking (check eBay, too), you can get a quality model at a decent price.

    Barring that, there are many calculators on the web. Try Googling for "calculate calories burned", and you'll get many options.

    Best of luck to you!

    Hi allie, this sounds like the workout I do at Curves gym, which is a circuit based gym. The average calories burned for the 30mins range from 150 to 233, apparently it is the equivalent of walking 3.5mph for 30 mins. Hope this helps. K :ohwell:
