well, I guess it all depends what Im doing. First and foremost, the exercise machines at the gym are highly inflated to I use a heart rate monitor that I wear to guesstimate. When I do spinning class, I can burn about 500 calories in a 45 minute class. I run for 25-30 minutes everyday and usually burn about 150-190 calories depending on my pace. The stair climber is what kicks my butt, I can burn about 125 calories in 10 minutes if I really push myself. So, on average, I would say I burn about 500 calories a day, sometimes 700 on a good day. Thats committing myself to an hour to an hour and a half a day of exercise. I think your right on point, the important thing is that you see and feel a difference, as long as you take that into consideration, your good.
