    Well it depends on what your doing and how much you weigh, but I aim for 30 minutes of High Impact Cardio 5 times a week. I end up burning around 300 calories each time....

    600-800 usually. Unless of course I'm hiking, where it can be all the way up to 2000+ calories.

    I average about 600-700 per hour when running.

    Strength training sucks for calorie burn (but great for your body!) so that's about 300 or so per hour.

    I've only been burning about 200 calories per day working out for a half hour. I'd like to work out more, but I think I have athletes athsma :grumble: , which I'm going to try and see my doctor about next week.

    depending on the time you work out, 400 to 600 calories for the more mid serious people.

    I burn a minimum of 500 a day, but usually aim for between 800 and 1,000

    I am really not sure because I don't have a HRM. But, from the looks of these other posts I think I am underestimating! If I do 20 minutes on the treadmill alternating walking 4.3 mph and jogging 6.7 mph, then stretch for about 10 minutes, and weight lifting for 30 minutes - - what would a good estimate be for my calories burned? I keep my heart rate up while lifting. I am 5'6.5" 23 years old and about 133 pounds.

    DO YOU HAVE A HEART RATE MONITOR AND HAVE YOU BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT STRAP.

    I INSTRUCT 5 SPIN CLASSES A WEEK, AND I HAVE SEEN MY HEART RATE COME DOWN OVER THE LAST 2 YEARS SIGNIFICANTLY. I REPLACED THE BAND AND SAW THE CALORIE COUNT WENT UP BUT YOU MAYBE OBTAINING A FITNESS LEVEL WITH A HIGHER RESTING HEART RATE.

    I WOULD SAY ABOUT 600 TO 800 CALORIES, THIS IS A GREAT WORKOUT AND ONE THAT IS SIMILAR TO WHAT I GIVE MY MEMBERS.

    Since it has gotten hot out, I've started doing all of my exercises in the morning before work. It means that I have to get up an hour earlier, but when I get home and I'm tired, it means I don't have to get on that elliptical.....lol.

    I burn 400 calories for 45 minutes on the elliptical. I go for 55 minutes if I'm not too tired and get 500 calories.

    And if it's not too hot out, then I go for my lunchtime walk for 45 minutes and burn another 197 calories.
