10 minute trainer

I don't know but I'm interested in an answer also. I bought a dvd that has 5 10-minute sessions and it looks to be aerobic so wondered if I would put it in as aerobic workout for the amount of minutes I complete?

I have been using this for 2 weeks now - trying to do 3 of the exercises a day following the calendar too. I would also like to get an idea on how many calories we are burning - i cant find anything comparable in the list of exercises here....

Bumping for answers!

My husband is a Beachbody coach and I asked him this question. He said that the calories burned is different with every individual person. It depends on whether or not you are doing the program with high intensity or low intensity. He uses a heart rate monitor which tracks how many calories are burned depending upon your level at which you are doing the program. They never publish how many is actually used because everyone is different.

Hope this helps???

You can log into the Beachbody websites for free and put your workouts in there daily. You could win prizes as well!!! That way it can help you track what you are doing. You can find out more by visiting his website at itpays2getfit.com.

Hope this answers your question.

Marcy and IMCrystal are right. Everybody burns differently, even doing the same exercise. You really should invest in a heart rate monitor. I LOVE mine! It's made a huge difference in how I assess my workouts!:happy:

I only use 10 minute trainer when I travel so I have options to work out. I was following it until my DVD player went down. Again like most things, exercising is what counts. 10 minutes is a little misleading because for optimum results you are supposed to do 2 or 3 of these 10 minutes in a day.

I Binged this topic and most put the 10 minutes excersise to burn an average of 100 calories.

Using my HRM, I would burn an average of 10 calories per minute. Pushing myself as hard as I could, definitely not taking it easy.

I went on to the beachbody site - however they want you to pay to become a full member. Thats not what i was looking for. I like this site here because they have everything all together - food and exercise - and can better track your progress. They should be able to give an average amount of calories burned per 10 minute session....

You don't have to join, there is a free account. However, as others have stated, there is no "Every person burns X amount doing the exact same workout." The best way is to get a heart rate monitor and use it. If you are looking at a number though, my guess is 200 calories depending on your weight, how fit you are, and the intensity you put into it etc.

Generic answer: Moderate intensity, 120-140 calories.... see the rest below for more on calories and the best tool for measuring them AROUND THE CLOCK.

There are a number of variables. If you've ever done Mike Dolce's UFC Fit workouts, then when you use the online TRACKER, it asks you a number of questions... how you felt when done, how well you kept up with the pace, how much effort you put into the workout, and how much you were sweating during the workout or by the end of it.

From there, it gives you the calorie burn.

Most of those are about 24 minutes of high energy total body moves and there is no more than maybe a 10-second break between rounds.

I average around 750 calories during those workouts currently. My Body Media collaborates that.

Running, even at speed, will not burn the same calories, so folks making comparisons are talking fruits versus vegetables... not even the same thing, especially since running is NOT a Full Body Workout. It develops specific muscles and it develops a tolerance, which we call "endurance", as well as muscle memory. Studies show that repetitive exercises lead to plateauing in development and efficiency in use... meaning your body adapts and conserves.

Thus over time, your calorie burn will decrease with training runs. Most runners are creatures of habit, so this is typical.

Also, as your weight decreases, you burn fewer calories. Why? Because the body 1) requires fewer calories to maintain that weight, and 2) because your load is lighter and your muscles stronger and more efficient.

That's where the weighted vests, such as Hyper Gear's vest or the Titin weighted shirt (or both in my case) and a military plate carrier vest come in handy. You can burn more calories by having "heavy" training days or power walks... but I don't advise people to "run" heavy. Running has been proven to be the worst thing for your body due to the impact and jarring... however, it's still incredibly tranquil... but Speed Walking actually is safer and provides a much higher calorie burn because it actually incorporates far more muscle groups.

I'm not a pro speed walker, but I can routinely drop down to an 8-minute mile pace... which really freaks "runners" out. I've yet to reach the point where I maintain that pace for a full half marathon, but I do know that I can turn my steps over fast enough to do what millions of other competitive speed walkers are out there doing.

So, the person on here who burned 350 calories might very well have done that, whereas the runner did not.

EFFORT... INTENSITY... THE SQUEEZE... THE NEGATIVE REP MOTION... all of those things make a huge difference.

Add compression gear, and your workout becomes even more effective and, as the Body Media has verified for me, it does improve your calorie burn.

Winter is the best time to train and yet that's when most people take a break. Your body burns more calories to stay warm while the body is less efficient when trying to stay cool.

The advantage of compression gear and my Titin Weighted Training Shirt is that the compression increases circulation and improves it... and the Titin shirt uses silicon gel inserts, so I can chill the shirt (easier than taking inserts in and out) and that helps keep me cool during the 100+ temps.

Also, all of those layers I wear in the 100+ temps actually help cool me because of the moisture wicking on the bottom layers. There is moisture for evaporation, and as it passes through the layers, they stay wet, and thus cooler, but my skin is dry.

I can actually start to chill in the 100+ temps ESPECIALLY if there's a steady breeze... which literally makes me start to shiver and that means I'm burning more calories.

I use the Body Media device on my arm... 24/7/365. It's used by doctors and on the show, The Biggest Loser.

There is no cheating. It measures many things, including sweat, and has FDA approval meaning it's been thoroughly tested in clinical trials.

It's a great tracking tool... but the best tools remain your scale and your mirror.
