IMPORTANCE : Wow!Knowing the calories you are burning can go a long way in helping you reach your weight loss or fitness goals. For every 3,500 calories you burn you can lose 1 lb. of weight.
The amount of calories you burn during any exercise is based on your weight, intensity of the activity, type of activity and the duration. According to What's Cooking America, you can find out how many calories you burn in one minute doing any exercise by multiplying .096 by your weight in pounds.
For example, someone who weights 150 lb. would determine that .096 x 150 = 14.4 calories per minute. To find out how long you have to do an exercise to reach 3,500 calories you would then divide 3,500 by the answer from the previous equation. Therefore, 3,500/14.4 = 243. minutes...
