depends which workout and also on your intensity level. and it also depends on your fitness, and size etc.
i weigh 150 lbs, am very fit, 5 ft 5 in, female... and burned anywhere from 400-700 during a typical workout.0 -
Get a heart rate monitor. Then create your own exercise.0

The most accurate way is to use a heart rate monitor. If you don't have an HRM, make sure all your statistical data (i.e. weight, age, etc.) is accurate and current in MFP. MFP will under-estimate your burn but by less than 50 calories. It is still more worth it to log your burn than not, even if using the estimate provided by MFP.0 -

Heart rate monitors are very expensive but they are worth every penny! I bought the bodymedia fit and I love it! I've done Insanity and it was a very hard core muscle building workout, but honestly I didn't burn as many calories as I would've thought. I am 5'7ish, 150lbs. I burned a MAX of 400 during pure cardio and a MAX of 350 with any of the others. You have to stop and break so much that it's really not a huge calorie burner but it is an amazing fat burner! If you're looking for an intense high calorie burning/fat burning workout that you can actually get all the way through, I would recommend Turbo Fire.0
