???Guess the calories burned???

[kingsnthahole]

Ok so i'm bored as all hell at work today(labor day! WTF). I close the doors to the gym at 4pm, and i've been here since 7am...in the past 5 and a half hours(it's now just past 12:30) I've had one person show up. So at 3pm, barring noone comes to the gym then, i will jog on the treadmill for roughly 1 hour, if you can guess how many calories i burn in that time frame, you will win a special fitness based prize directly from me!

Price is Right rules apply to bidding.

Closest guess under the actual value wins. Just like in blackjack, if you go over, you bust.

You will burn 600 calories.

The average male will maintain his weight on about 3200 calories a day. That is about 140 calories an hour at rest. So the 300 calories burned(for about an hour of treadmill) are not calories burned above your basal metabolic rate, they are calories burned including your basal metabolic rate. So for your time on the treadmill, you burned about 160 calories above your baseline

alright Ms. Exercise Physiologist, thanks for only making people more confused, i will run, for 1 hour, and i will see a number under Calories, as in calories burned...thats the number i'm using...where did you copy and paste that response from btw?

[kingsnthahole]

BTW, my basal metabolic rate is 2960, and i eat roughly 2500 calories/day..Exercise also raises your BMR for quite some time afterwards. I've studied Exercise Science for 6 years and have never once heard that so if you could provide some proof for it, please do.

thank you, reading now

[eejit101]

I will estimate 845

average calories burned on treadmills in an hour are 785..... i feel u r a guy in great shape which i assume would lower the number ....you are jogging raising the number higher..... soo 600 is close ..i say 800

[woohoosue]

what are your thoughts on this? .

With a proper exercise stimulus that dormant muscle can be reclaimed. When you get back the muscle that requires 250 calories a day to keep alive, what used to be an insidious weight-gain problem will become an insidious weight-loss technique.

also from the same site...looks like he thinks treadmilling for calorie count is lame(eat that 600 calorie pie sliceand then treadmill till 600 appears in the calorie box) ..you should be building a body of muscle so weight gain is unheard of......

My guess is 1 calorie.

I hope everyone goes over!!!
