I was at the gym and mosly I just worked on the machines bicep curls and leg presses and the thigh master thing. I only did twenty minutes on the treadmill. So does that burn calories or does only cardio burn a significant amount of calories? Can I get away with eating a little more since I spent an hour and a half working out?
