???Guess the calories burned???

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.

BODY FAT: HARD FACTS ABOUT SOFT TISSUE

thank you, reading now

Interesting, however what the treadmill actually measures is distance x incline %(with your bodyweight factored in if you add it, which i will) and it measures the amount of work performed in energy(calories) in other words, how much energy(calories) does it cost to perform 1 hour of jogging on the treadmill...the reason you would add your bodyweight in is because it requires more energy for a 300 lb person to run a mile, than a 185 lb person(pure movement of excess weight), hence if you did the same amount of actual work at 300 lbs. you would burn more calories because you are pulling a larger mass(your body weight). Thats all I was saying...
Thanks for the article, you learn something new everyday!
