Calories burnt in a full body workout

[sjay]

let's say it's a full body workout, squat, sldl, bench, row, press, curls. 3 sets each and about 1-2 minute rest between sets.

roughly how many calories are burnt?

 

[Goosey]

Not many

 

[sjay]

how many not many?

 

[sjay]

I've seen very questionable figures bandied about on the inter webz. like 500 cals plus. doesn't sound right does it

Have a look here for some guidelines, not as many as you think

Jumping rope is a great way to burn calories also
Or eat less

If you're a fatty, yes.

 

[sjay]

sure is, 860 cals an hour

I could also eat less but I find the combo a bit easier ie I feel less hungry for the same net calorie deficit

Maybe if you did a 30 min circuit session with very little rest

But not a standard BB or PL session

My HR monitor reckons I burn 1080 calories in a 80 minute workout!

Do you think a thirty minute workout, with weights (at a low intensity) in a circuit will do much for strength, cardio health and fat control, compared to an "all out" ball busting weight session and a weekly jog and controlled eating?

The question was calories burned in a full body workout,

A full body work out to me is Squats, Deads, MP, BB Curls, Bent Rows as Heavy as the individual can lift.

In the sense of calories burned and cardio, Yes i think a circuit session would burn more calories, IE Much Less weight, 50+ reps instead of 10 and stuff all rest for 30 min non stop

Fat controll comes from Calories in Vs calories out, Not the exercise you choose to part take in, Of course you will gain more strength with a heavy weight session, but its over all calories burnt we are referring too

What if you did that "traditional full body workout as heavy as the individual could lit"
And jogged at a steady pace of 30 mins on the off days, do you think this could be more beneficial?
For the overweight person?

! guessing those things are not very accurate?

That contradicts itself, I am pretty sure Calories in Vs calories out would include exercise EG if you go for a 5 minute walk or a 20km run would greatly affect your Calories in Vs calories out.

I think it would, it's exactly what I was doing when I was training for fat loss, along with watch what you eat.

HIIT instead of the 30 minute jog would be even better.

Doing something you enjoy would be even better...
