I am burning more than that a day at the gym.. I do one hour on the treadmill walking quickly and then 20 minutes on the bike. The nice thing about machines.. they tell you how much you are burning.

Answer 3

A calorie is the amount of energy it takes to raise 1 milliliter of water 1 degree Celsius. However, a Calorie, as we know it, is also called a kilo-calorie; there are 1000 calories in every Calorie. Pay attention to the capitalization.

Answer 4

Trimming your caloric intake by 500 calories per day is a relatively easy accomplishment, which can be handled by changes in diet and exercise. Since the question mentions 500 calories, the expected weight loss over a 5 day period is 1lb (3500 calories = 1 lb). Modifying behavior to limit high sugar drinks (ie, soft drinks) can almost accomplish this by itself, considering each serving in a 16oz unit can have 150 calories or more.

Muscle also burns more calories than other tissues - this can result in a cycle. Work out, get stronger, and your muscles will burn calories just by being muscles. Bigger muscles = higher basal metabolic rate. It's a win-win situation.

Do searches for "exercise calorie burn calculator", and you can get a general idea of how much exercise you should do to achieve your specific goals for calorie burning (weight loss).
