Does anybody know what the average amount of calories u burn by weight training is?...per hour is probably the best way. Im not sure if it depends what kind but if anybody heard of the Denise Austin Totally Firm workout ...thats what im talking about, so help is good :) plzzzz
 
you could try looking it up at caloriesperhour.com
 
thanks wonderwoman :) i did do that, and it gave me a number for weightlifting...is that the same as weight training with a tape though? I always thought weightlifting was like specifics with a bar and focusing on one muscle, but on the tapes its got more of a moving, upbeat workout element
 
That totally depends on the type of training you're doing. If you're doing a tape with light weights your calorie burn will be a lot less than if you are doing heavy weight, compound movements. And it also depends on how long your rest periods are, plus your indidvidual metabolism. Very hard to get an accurate number.
If you do a google search for "calories burned during exercise" you will find a lot of sites with calculators. Some of them at least give you choices for intensity, so that might be a little more accurate.
