I usually burn about 500-600 calories during my 50 minute workouts...

I am curious how many calories I burn when lifting weights. I sweat a lot more lifting than doing cardio so I assume I am working harder and burning more calories.

I would be more concerned with counting calories since it can vary widely.

Here is my .02 on this whole "calories burned" thing. You lose pounds/calories in the kitchen, not the gym. The gym is for increasing muscle strength and stamina. YMMV.

A 3 mile run is about 600 calories.
Lifting weights for 30 minutes is about 250. I have a heart rate monitor that counts the calories I burn. |

The formula heart rate monitors use to estimate calories burned is pretty generic but a good ball park reference.
I track my Cal. taken in, my Cal. burned running and Cal. burned working out on a spreadsheet. It helped me loose about 80 pounds real quick because it keeps me accountable. If I don't reach my daily Net goal then I have to see it on the spreadsheet every day. The Myfitnesspal App works great also, but I still like seeing my results on a spreadsheet |

25 calories is a big burn for me. I rep out at 215. Come at me bro.

I don't really trust my Garmin or the treadmill, but an hour or so cycling I will pour sweat and report 600-800 calories burned. Treadmill around 600 with 4.5 MPH fast walk and 6 MPH jog interspersed for 45 minutes. I lift weights once a week for around 90 minutes with 2minutes between sets and only break a few beads. Body types, I guess. ETA: Would probably be helpful to add for context that I'm not big and muscular. I'm small-framed, 145 lbs. and more suited to cardio, I think. Not power-lifting here. Using 25-lb. dumbbells. |

I don't know how accurate the elliptical I use is, but it reports that I can usually pound out ~750-800 calories/hour or so. I'll usually go for 1000-1250 calories/workout, maybe a little more on the weekend.

I ran 10 miles Thursday and according to the monitor it burned 1825 calories.
A 6.2 mile run usually burns around 1160 calories, 4 miles around 800. I don't know how much I burn lifting...if exhaustion is any indication, 45 minutes doing back sure as hell beats 45 minutes doing shoulders and tris, though. |

There is no way to answer your question.
What kind of "workout" are you doing and what are you trying to accomplish? Back in the day I would ride about 10 kcal per minute for .....oh I don't know.....6 hours. A good work out. My run work outs were more like 13 kcals per minute cause I suck at running. Swim workouts were about the same but using upper body. 8 hours "hikes" at 9-10K feet....at 15 kcal per minute.....a good work out. BTW....now that I look back on this type of training I would DISCOURAGE anyone and almost everyone from pursuing it. It will ruin your knees and enlarge your heart. Kcals burned is a function of your heartrate which is a function of your O2 uptake so genitics and fitness levels must be factored. The fitter you are....the more efficient you are. |

ETA: Realizing that I only burn 160 calories per mile really makes you reconsider that 140 calorie soda |

This was a cardio assessment with a trainer. Generally if I'm just doing weights around 700 calories. When I'm doing cardio between 1000-1200.

Lifting weights heavily 6+ sets you'll be burning calories constantly for days by repairing the muscles.
google for some articles. A good Back/Biceps or Chest/Tris/shoulders or Legs workout will burn more calories than an hour doing moderate cardio over a few days.

A 3 mile run is about 600 calories. Lifting weights for 30 minutes is about 250. I have a heart rate monitor that counts the calories I burn. The more important factor here is how many additional calories are burned after you do these exercises. Steady state cardio (running) is almost none Lifting heavy weights is considerable. |

I've achieved higher rates for 45 and 50 minutes. |

I bought it mostly for the heart rate monitor and to stay out of VTach. Just trying to get a baseline of a reasonable workout and calorie burning. |

500 or so.
The important part is to exercise regularly (3 times per week +) so your overall body metabolism increases, and you'll get fit fast. You'll burn far more than 500 extra calories a day, even while sleeping. |

Oops, I just farted, guess I just burned 35 cals.
Why bother keeping track of all this? Just get out and run, lift, or whatever. You need to worry more about cals on the food intake not so much what you burn, it's just a guess anyway. Some of you guys are trying to overthink this. |
