It’s easy to want to count the calories when beginning a workout program. But, you don’t need to run 10 miles each day to effectively burn calories! It is good to consistently engage in physical activity each and every week. This will create a solid base from which you can build a successful exercise program. The following simple exercises can be included as a part of that program. The number of calories burned during an activity depends on both the weight of the person, as well as the intensity. The following are estimates for the number of calories burned for an average 150 pound person during an hour of activity.

NOT that it's any of your business, but some of us at 150 pounds have 30-35 pounds to go.... and we need this site just as much as you do because we don't WANT to "weigh a lot more than 150 lbs" or be any heavier than we already are.
And, by the way, what "average" means is that if you add up the weights of all the people in a given sample, and divide by the number of people in the sample, the resulting number is the "average" weight of that group. It does not mean that the majority of people are at that "average" weight -- in fact, it's possible that none of them may be. For example: If I take six of my students' test scores, of whom 2 got A on the test, 2 got F, and one each got a B and a D, and I add all their scores together and divide by the six students, the "average" grade will be C even though none of them actually got a C on the test. - 12/19/2010 8:39:08 PM

Should note that I workout at the gym 6 days a week so It isn't the only workout I get and therefore have no worrieds about hurting myself. - 1/19/2010 4:41:51 PM
