Questions about burning calories, please! [burning calories] [leg lifts]
Okay, Im always curious about this, so I would love for someone to help me here. Okay, first off, I exercise about 4-5 days of the week. I normally have to do different things, I use weights for my arms, I stetch, I do crunch, jogging in place, leg lifts, etc. Things of that nature . my normal exercise time is about 20-35min. I have no idea how many calories I burned in that time. Does anyone know how I could find out?
Ok, my next question is, during the day, when not at the gym . or youre walking, sitting, sleeping, talking . if you re only existing measures . how many calories you burn a day all these activities, not?
I would like some info about these, thanks!

Weight Lifting For Absolute Beginners.
Reply:A search on the internet with keywords like calories, running, walking, crunches, etc. can turn up some web sites with lists of activities and how many calories they burn. I'd list websites but I don't think we can.
The minimum energy you require for existing is called your BMR, or Basal Metabolic Rate. Again, a quick search on a search engine can bring up a calculator to help you find that out. Here's one equation I pulled up:
2. The Harris-Benedict Equation:
Males: 66 + (13.7 x W) + (5 x H) – (6.8 x A)
Females: 655 + (9.6 x W) + (1.7 x H) – (4.7 x A)
where W = actual weight in kg (weight in lb/2.2 lb/ kg)
H = height in cm (height in inches x 2.54 cm/in)
A = age in years
