    today I burnt 765 calories doing 35 minutes elliptical, 10 minutes biking and 40 minutes strength training.

    Can anyone help me understand what the difference is in strength training and circuit training? I've just noticed that there is a HUGE variance in the calories listed for the them.

    Strength training is more anaerobic and causes more hypertrophy or strength development, depending on the rep/set range. Circuit training is more aerobic and results in less of the above. Both use weights.

    Today I burnt 785 calories doing 90 minutes of lifting, 25 minutes on the elliptical, and 3 sets of abs.
    I have had to take a lot of time off because I had a powerlifting competition last night...which I won! :bigsmile: I benched 130, beat the record for my weight class by 30 lbs and matched the overall female record (which is held by someone in the 150-200 weight class). I could've done 135 but ran out of attempts, oops :)
