I am getting ready to do a conditioning workout in a couple of hours.
Just for fun, I figured out how many calories (roughly) I am going to burn.
Turns out to 1165 calories total for the 60 minute workout.
No wonder I’m down 11 pounds after training this way for the last 8-10 weeks!
Now, keep in mind – I’m a big dude.
I’m about 70 pounds down from my peak – NFL football weight of 310, but I still weigh about 240 pounds.
So I’m burning significantly more calories doing this workout, than the average man or woman would.
BUT, the average man or woman will still probably burn 700, 800, or 900 … and if you added four of these workouts to your existing training schedule each week … you’d probably get close to burning the extra 3500 calories you need to lose a pound of fat.
