The easy answer would be that there simply isn't a way. I don't believe that's true. I was hoping to find a way to do it mathematically . . . but it can also be done practically. For example . . . you can certainly determine how mnay calories you burn rowing and how many you burn bench pressing, cu...

LOL . . . well, I'm 55, fat and out of shape and 100 watts is where I am right now. I've been better and will be again. I do hope to eventually match your rowing prowess. :wink: Intervals and VO2max . . . while interesting . . . are not what I am asking about. My question is strictly for those who u...

Your heart is far more powerful than any single muscle group when it comes to long-term power output. That's why you can't increase something like VO2 max from lifting weights. So...

Wikipedia defines a watt this way: one watt is the rate at which work is done when an object's velocity is held constant at one meter per second against constant opposing force...
