My coworker is also a personal trainer, and he says 3500 calories is equal to one pound of fat. So if you burn 3500 more calories than you take in, you'll lose a pound. This isn't perfect however, because you don't just lose fat when you exercise -- you lose water, and sometimes gain or lose muscle.

I have to disagree with the previous posts.\nIn 1/2 an hour, you'll burn around 300 + calories because an increase in temperature (112 - 116 degrees) over your normal body temp causes fat cells to liquify and excrete out with your sweat.  Your body burns calories just trying to keep your normal body temp!

Probably not very many but sit-ups are bad for your back. Run up and down your stairs a couple times it's good for your heart and more effective. Also I recommend http://www.my-calorie-counter.com

Yes. Here's a BMI Calc to get how many calories your burn just living\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php\n\nthen just use this table to approximate\nhttp://www.nutristrategy.com/activitylist4.htm\n\n\n\nThe next answer just copy and pasted the text of my site just 1 minute after I posted. The third answer has a URL also listed on my site.

Theoretically, about 3500 calories equals one pound. This means that you'd have to take in 3500 fewer calories than you need, over a period of time, to lose one pound. Keep in mind, this is in theory; what happens in the real world can be very different.\n\nOften, as we eat less, our bodies expend calories at a slower rate. Perhaps this occurs to ensure our survival, or just to defend a comfortable body weight. In any event, this slowdown is a real phenomenon, and has been proven in many laboratory studies — it's called diet induced adaptive thermogenesis. Most everyday people simply call it a decrease in metabolism. If your calorie requirement falls, it's increasingly difficult to take in few enough calories to lose weight. This can be quite a frustration and challenge to the person trying to shed some pounds.\n\nSo, while it's nice to have an equation that works in the lab, the 3500-calorie question is elusive to many of us. Unfortunately, our bodies don't work like a balance sheet or checkbook — what goes in and comes out doesn't always calculate. If it were that simple, the diet industry wouldn't be worth the billions of dollars that's being spent annually by folks in search of permanent weight loss.

well it depends on the instructor and yourself, if the instructor is a motivator and pusher.. expect to burn at least 600 to 900cal. \nif you are more curious about spinning try this website.\n\nhttp://www.lessmills.com\n\ncheers

According to recent studies, the average 175-pound person can expect to use somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 - 200 calories during 30 - 45 minutes of sex. Of course, this estimate will vary by amount of movement and vigor, as well as by type of sex. Most burn around 100 calories.

It's true that you have to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight.  If you eat more than you burn, the excess is stored as fat.  However, you use a fair amount just by normal daily tasks such as walking round, keeping the body warm and alive, etc.  Depending on what you do during the day, you will burn off 1500 calories or more.

You would have to burn 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound of fat.\nWith no changes in your diet, it would take a month to lose 1 pound burning 120 calories a day.

There are two primary methods to measuring basal metabolic rate - direct calorimetry and indirect calorimetry.  Both of these normally require equipment that most people would not have at their disposal.\n\nOften, a rough estimate can be determined that ranges from 9 to 13 calories per pound .. (9 if you're not very active, 13 if you'r active).   And then reducing this by 100 calories for every 10 years older than 30.

Cardio will help the most, run more worry about sit ups later they burn less fat than sit ups. Alos, you cant burn fat from one area at a time, i.e sit ups does not burn more tummy fat tham any other excercise.

Weight and calories are two different things.\n\nFor example, one pound of fat contains 4,081 (kilo) calories but one pound of sugar contains only 1,814 (kilo) calories.  Compare this to one pound of water which has no calories.\n\nThe calories you burn come from the food that you eat - if you eat one pound of food and perform enough exercise to burn off the calories in that one pound of food you will have neither gained or lost weight.\n\nTo look at it another way, you would need to be engaged in about 2 to 3 hours of intense physical exercise or about 6 to 10 hours of moderate exercise to loose one pound - that's assuming that you don't compensate for the energy used by over eating.

calories don't burn fat, but exercise can burn calories. taking in an extra approximately 3,500 calories  can cause you to gain a pound. there are 16 ounces in a pound, so burning approximately 219 calories can make you lose an ounce. theoretically.
