How many calories do you try to burn in a workout? What are your alloted daily calories?
Been at this for a month and half and getting NO WHERE!!!!

    I don't try to burn any calories during a workout. I just concentrate on getting my workout in. I try to lift a little more or a little better or I try to run a little longer or a little faster. Couldn't give a damn what I burned. To me, measuring a workout by calories burned is like grading a road trip by exhaust released by my car.


    Edited to add some direction: if you're not getting anywhere, you should probably be looking at your diet more than your exercise program.
