Calories Burnt Challenge.......

[Richt]

This it where I would like you all to post your figures.

State the day of the excercise, the piece of equipment you used and also the amount of calories burnt.

DISCLAIMER

DANDR Chapter 11 Frequently Asked Question

There is no need to count calories. The Atkins Nutritional Approach counts grams of carbohydrates instead of calories. <snip>

Although there is no need to count calories, they do matter. Gaining weight results from taking inmore calories than you expend through exercise, thermogenesis (the body's own heat production) and other metabolic functions. Research has shown that on a controlled carbohydrate program, more calories are burned than in a low-fat/high carb diet, so there is a certain metabolic advantage to the controlled carb approach. But understand that this does not give you license to gorge.

Thanks

8/1/06 Walking Outdoors and on the treadmill - Calories Expended - 575 (as measured by Polar Heart Rate Monitor)

A quick question too, Rich, would you like us to wait until all exercise is completed for the day before we post results or as each period of exercise is completed? I walk every morning, but then I usually either do water aerobics, play tennis, golf, and/or ride my bike later in the day. Thanks!

This is great stuff, look at all those calories burnt and that just on the first day.

Btw, how do you know how many calories you burn off whilst doing the water aerobics?

Good Morning!

Went on a looooooong walk outdoors this morning. Burned 611 calories per Polar HRM.

As to the water aerobics question... http://www.self.com/health/activity/...water_aerobics
is the link I used. Once there you put in your weight and the duration of exercise and it calculates it for you!

Have a great day!
