how many calories I will burn working tonight? I deal blackjack as a part time night job. I decided that just for fun, I am going to wear my HRM and see what it says. I will only have it running while I am actually dealing which will probably end up being about 3 1/2 hours.

    I'm going to say between 100 and 125 calories an hour (normal calories for someone not working out), so I'll split the middle 112/hour .... I'll guess 392 calories.

    For the most part it is pretty fun. The place that I work at tonight likes to over serve though, so I usually end up with players that can barely stand up, spill their drinks, or pass out. lol The music is usually pretty good though so I just jam out while working. :laugh:

    I was on the table for a total of 3 hours and 45 minutes. In that time, I burned a total of 752 calories!!!
    It ends up being about 97 calories per half hour shift. I figured that I burned an extra 200 calories doing that verses sitting home on my rear. I burned 147 calories per hour doing nothing when I tested it on Friday. (I probably got up a few times to tend to my child when my husband wasn't around)

    Ya! It was a heck of a lot more than I thought too! I was guessing it would be right around 500.

    I did have an excellent night at work actually! I made $240 in tips!! WOOP WOOP!!
