    How to Calculate Calories Burned Weight Lifting

    Photo Credit Jupiterimages/Goodshoot/Getty Images Weight lifting is a great exercise to not only build strength and tone muscles but to increase your metabolic rate and burn even more calories. For every 3 lbs. of muscle you build, your metabolic rate increases by 7 percent, according to West Valley College. This in turn increases the number of calories you need to maintain your weight by 15 percent. As an added bonus, after a weight training session you continue to burn calories at a higher rate for up to 24 hours. The number of calories you burn during the weight lifting session itself depends on your body weight and the type and intensity of the weight training. Consult your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.

    Step 1
    Weigh yourself before each weight lifting session. The number of calories you burn partially depends on your weight.

    Step 2
    Time the number of minutes you lifted weights. This includes the time spent resting between repetitions.

    Step 3
    Determine the intensity value of your weight training. A bodybuilding level of effort is vigorous and burns 0.055 calories per pound per minute. Circuit training with weights burns 0.042 calories per pound per minute. Strength training with free weights burns 0.039 calories per pound per minute. Lighter weight lifting with moderate effort burns 0.028 calories per pound per minute.

    Step 4
    Calculate the number of calories burned. First, multiply your weight by the number of minutes you exercised. For example, if you weigh 140 lbs. and lifted weights for 35 minutes, the formula would be 140 x 35 = 4900. Then multiply this number by the intensity value to get the number of calories burned. If you were circuit training, the formula would be 4900 x 0.042 = 206 calories burned.

    Actually I don't really disagree with anything mercenary said and I do the same thing he described. I usually do some dynamic stretching prior to my heavy lift days, but even prior to that, I usually do a very light warm-up which you could consider cardio as well. But I am assuming the OP was asking about cardio in the context of burning lots of calories.

    For the record, I actually prefer separate days for cardio.
    Also, my profile pic is a year old and 12-13% body fat, vs 6-7% now, if that is what we are looking at :)

    This is the most helpful post I have seen to-date. I have been strength training since October and have been wondering how many calories I have been burning in a 1-hour session.

    I am thinking of just separating my cardio and lifting days. Maybe I'm shorting one type of exercise when I am doing the other. I want to have good strength no matter what exercise I'm doing, and being tired or not being able to 'give my all' because I do one or the other first doesn't sound like what I'm aiming for.

    On heavy lifting days I warm up on treadmill for 10 minutes, then lift, then 20-30 minutes of cardio, either stairmaster or running.

    On non lifting days I do 1 hour of intense cardio, like boot camp or HIIT/

    I take a 60 second break between sets and I do not pause my HRM. I just log the strength training calories burned. It's really not many calories relative to the time I spend lifting anyway, but I know it's working because of the changes in my body.
