Sites with Calories Burned for Exercises and Activities
|
Here are the top sites that list calories burned for common exercises and activities. According to our research, many of these sites disagree on the exact number of calories burned for a given activity, but you should find that they are relatively close.
Note:
If you're adding a custom exercise to Weight-By-Date, remember to obtain the calories burned for a 150 pound person (68 Kg) and enter that into the program. Why? Because the more you weigh, the more calories you burn. Weight-By-Date makes these smart adjustments to the calories for you as you enter exercises into the journal, and the program uses 150 pounds as the baseline.
