Just wondering how many calories everyone else is shooting to burn every time they exercise?? My goal is at least (if not more) 500 calories a day!!! Also what kind of exercises do you do? I have been doing the 30 DS and am on level 3 day 22 and I also either do Zumba, go to the gym or go walk!!

    Usuaully about 250-350 through cardio or strength training. But the goal with training isn't calorie burn; it's strength, endurance, fitness.

    I don't shoot for a specific number of calories burnt, I take what I can get. I do the workout I plan to do, and check afterwards.
    I have a personal trainer, work out one hour every fortnight with him, and 2-3 times a week on my own at the gym (but with programs he prepares for me), and I try to swim once a week, and go for a walk or rollerblading on weekends, if weather's fine.

    I have been making it to my goal everyday of 500. However, I can say it hasn't been easy!! Usually takes me at minimum an hour at they gym to 1.5 hrs. But I push through it until I do. I do treadmil, eliptical, stair stepper, with an occassional outside bike ride
