Is working out for 30 minutes and burning aprox. 330 calories good for a typical workout?

330 calories for 30 minutes (660/hour) is a good jog. Is it a good workout?  It's okay, especially when you do it every day, but it's not a lot. \n\nWeight loss depends on many factors, simplified into how much you eat versus how much you burn.  There are approximately 3500 calories per pound of fat. \n\nWeight Loss = (Calories Consumed minus Calories Eaten)/3500\n\nThe calories consumed = Resting energy consumption, which is driven primarily by your mass and body composition (muscle burns more than fat) plus the energy you consume through moving around.  Technically, there's more factors like energy you expend trying to keep warm (e.g. living in a cold environment, swimming in cold water) - but let's ignore that for simplicity. \n\nCalories eaten.  Not only count your calories, but eat in better quality composition/balance.  For example, it's easy to eat 200 calories in noodles (it's smaller than you think and you'll be hungry quickly afterwards).  But have you ever tried to eat two cans of tuna at once? You'll feel very full, if you can stomach the tuna. \n\nThe differential between what you did before and now (all else being equal) is about 1 pound per 10 days. In practice, you're going to lose weight faster than that because your body composition will improve to increase your metabolism, you'll eat less due to appetite suppression from exercise (and physically less time when you have a chance to snack) and your heart stays at elevated levels (burning more calories) for more than the 30 minutes. \n\nSorry for making a very easy question into a difficult answer, but the answer is roughly 1/5-1/8 pound day.

It depends on how intense youre doing it. If youre going at moderate pace you would lose about 500 or so calories in an hour. But when you go intense, you lose more calories alot after the work out. \n\n(All I said was for cardio exercise.)

It would be just about 1/3 lb. You need to burn 3500 calories to burn off 1 lb, so 1091/3500=0.31

It's not that easy to calculate how many calories you burn in yoga and Pilates since the intensity of the class depends on the kind of exercises being done and the strength level of the class participants.\n\nIn general, a 130-pound person would burn approximately 260 calories an hour for a light to moderate Pilates mat-class. "Intense" Pilates would burn approximately 346 calories.\nYour weight affects how many calories you burn (the more you weigh, the more calories you burn), so use the following formula to make it more accurate: Divide the number of calories burned by 130 pounds. Multiply the answer by your weight in pounds. \n\nFor example, divide 260 calories by 130 pounds. The answer is 2 calories per pound. Multiply that by 110 pounds. The answer is 220 calories.\n\nSince you said 20 minutes then divide your answer by 3 since the calculation above is for an hour.\n\n\nTan-yuh this is how you would figure out yours - if you weighed 192 - its 2 calories per pound per hour\n\nso its 384 for an hour --- 384 *.33 because you worked out for 20 minutes which is .33 of an hour.\n\nThis equals 128 calories burnes for a 20 minutes pilates tape.\n\nPersonally I would say try to work your way up (at your own pace of course) to an hour long... 384 calories is a lot for one workout and thats how much you would burn for an hour.

Depends on your age/weight/height and activity level.\n\nA female who is 25, weighs 150, 5'5" and moderately active- would burn 2307 calories/day.\n\nhttp://www.calorie-count.com/calories/calories-burned.php

THE BEST WORKOUT MACHINE BY FAR IS THE ELLIPTICAL TRAINER. YOU CAN BURN 100 CALORIES IN 8 MINUTES. NO JOKE. I RIDE THE ELLIPTICAL FOR 40 MINUTES, 6 DAYS A WEEK. IT'S AN AWESOME WORK-OUT.

To burn up some of those calories, do house cleaning\n\nor if stairs where you live, walk up and down for 30min at least.

Read my article on calorie consumption/calorie saving...here http://www.healthandstrength.net/qofweek.htm\nThere is probably about 400-600 calories in something like that...depends on the size and stuff, but I would have to run on the treadmill for about 50 minutes to burn that off...then I would still be back where I was.  If I DIDNT eat it, then the 400-600 calories that I burn on the treadmilll would be weight off my ass.  I lost 54 lbs...my before and after pic is on my site here http://www.healthandstrength.net \nI refuse to eat sugar and things that won't benefit my body...YES they are tastly, but really...you dont need it.  Eating them everyother day will most likely cause insulin insensitivity and eventually maybe diabetes.  Sugar is evil!  I treat it as the poison that it is. \nGood luck!

Building more muscle mass through free weights will burn more calories in the long run because Cardio only burns during the event and briefly after wards, but lean muscle tissue burns calories all the time. There is no standard rate of calorie "burn" for cardio since there are so many ways to do cardio. Sprinting burns more calories than jogging, but you can't sprint for an hour. If you want to maximize the weight loss effects of cardio you should keep your sessions around 40 to 60 minutes and work harder during that time using interval training.

A lot. 1000 isn't even close, because you definitely don't burn 3.5 calories per situp. I'm guessing that you'd use 300-500 calories/hour. Let's say you do 50/min for 5 minutes - quite an ab workout by most people's standards. 5/60 = 1/12. 1/12 of 500 = ~ 42 cals for 250 situps in 5 minutes. If you use 1 calorie for every 6 situps (which might even be a low estimate for how many situps per calorie), that's 21,000 situps per pound of fat. Basically the more muscles you incorporate into a workout routine, the more calories you'll use (hence why running uses so many calories, it involves a lot of muscles). You don't use that much muscle doing a situp, so the energy use per situp is quite small.

It all depends on your weight and the calories your body needs to function.  Remember that 1 pound = 3500 calories.  So if your only taking in 1000 calories a day and exercising (may I suggest maybe running or aerobics rather than jumping rope) it should only take a month or so.

Running 300 feet once per day will not amount to any appreciable weight loss.  The exact calorie expenditure is unknown since you didn't indicate your weight.  But on average you're probably looking at around 50 calories which is about half a yogurt.  \n\nHere's some calorie calculators to give you a rough idea of what it takes to burn calories through various activities:\nhttp://www.preventdisease.com/healthtools/tools.html#cbva

You need to figure out your maximum heart rate which is 220-30=190 and you want to stay within 60-70 percent to stay aerobic and burn fat., so you your target is around 125 BPM.  This is where you want to be to burn the most fat,  85% of your calories come from fat when you are in this zone.  When you move up to 70-80% you burn less fat and more carbs and protein.\n\nTo do it correctly you need to find your real max heart rate, talk to one of the personal trainers at the gym about doing this.  Each person’s max heart rate is different and the 220 – your age is just an approximation. \n\nThe thing to remember though is no matter what you are doing you are still burning calories!  You definitely don’t want to be anaerobic very often!

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.

It depends upon the intensity that you would be working at as well as your age, weight & heart rate/fitness levels. So take me for example: 30 years old and about 65kgs, if I run for 1 hour run at about a level 12, I burn around 650-700 calories. However, if you were to do level 14 for an hour you are looking at around 980 calories. \n\nWhat I suggest is combining both and doind it outside on sand dunes. We do this sometimes and you burn almost 1000 cals in an hour. It is interval training as you have recovery time going down but going up is an absolute killer. It is wonderful for your glutes too!

Yes and no.  You reach your maximum calorie burning potential after at least 15 minutes of continuous moderate exercise.  However, your body is always using calories no matter what you are doing.  You use calories just by being alive (breathing, digestion, circulation, etc.).  This is called "basal metabolism".  Activities over and above that will burn extra calories.  The longer you exercise, the more calories you burn.  The difficulty of the exercise you choose is also a factor.  If you are sweating and working hard, you burn more than just a leisurely stroll, obviously.\n\nTo determine how many calories you are taking in, you need to read labels and measure your serving sizes.  It's the only way to be sure.  For foods that don't come with a label (such as fruits, veggies, etc.), you can find websites that have calorie counts.

It's hard to say without knowing your condition, but if you are big and lean you could be burning 400-500 cals per hour, but, if you are light and/or have a high bodyfat ratio it may only be 200...\n\nIn my experience I have seen a 200 lb man that is very lean  burn about 1000 cals per hour during VERY intense exerscise.  \n\nHere's a calculator for you to try http://www.primusweb.com/fitnesspartner/jumpsite/calculat.htm
