A 150-pound female burns only ~280 calories per hour of intense weight lifting. Yea, you’ve read it right. It’s not gazillion calories. Not even a thousand.
Now, to lose a pound a week you need to create a calorie deficit of 3,500 calories. Assuming that weight loss is linear (it’s not). This equals to 500 calorie deficit per day.
So if you’re a 150-pound female, you would need to exercise almost two hours E.V.E.R.Y. single day to lose a pound a week.
I don’t know about you but I think exercise should lift you up, making you more energized for the rest of your daily life, not turn you into a wastoid who has nothing left over.
