When working out, mainly cardio, how many calories should one attempt to burn per day?

    It depends what type of cardio you're doing. Walking, running, jogging, treadmill, dvds, they all burn different amounts of calories. It also depends how much you give it. I would just say whatever you're doing for cardio, just make sure you give it your all!!!

    That's such a loaded question, and it depends on so many things. It depends on your BMR (how man calories you burn in a day if you don't do anything), how much you eat, what your weight loss goals are, how much you have to lose, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

    Personally, I like to burn an extra 500-1000 per day, more on Sautrdays, but that's because I also like to eat.

    It depends on your goal and fitness.
    I normally been doing 300 to 600 with HIIT .Depending on my schedule , If it's a strength (weight training) day I I go for about 300.
    Figure out your Caloric deficit + Goals
    Weekly I shoot for 2000 +

    3500 Cal =1 lb.

    I just started working out again, so I have been doing the treadmill & elliptical for a total of 300cals a day. It just doesnt seem like enough to me? But when I am done my legs are burning! I have also been doing abs every other day. I am not a huge exercise person (I HATE to run) but I have started Body by Vi and lost 6lbs in 5days! So I am obviously doing something right...right?
