How Many Calories Do You Burn When Exercising?

[Liquid]

Kind of curious especially with regards to people who are losing weight.
I wonder if I am doing enough:

Rowing: 520 (38 minutes, 7x per week)
Walking: 100 (30 minutes, 5x per week)
---------------
Total 620

Between the two I average about an hour per day.

Where did you get that 100 cal figure? Doesn't sound right to me, unless your very light or walk very slowly.

Erging I burn about 800 calories per hour, running 1200 calories per hour.

179 lbs. and walk at 3.5 mph, I pulled it off a web site, did I calculate it wrong?

The Am. Heart Assoc. gives you much more credit for calories burned through walking:

Walking:
150 lb. @ 2 mph 240 cals/h, 3 mph 320 cals/h, 4.5mph 440 cals/h


200 lb. @ 2 mph 312 cals/h, 3 mph 416 cals/h, 4.5 mph 572 cals/h

Even allowing for cals burned at total rest your figures seem low?

This probably explains why you are much slimmer and feel much better than you thought you were/would???

@225, I hit the treadmill 3mph, 6% incline and get more like 300 cals in a 30min workout.

I use FitDay to track intake/exercise. Generally their exercise numbers are slightly lower than whats reported on any piece of gear; treadmill, elliptical, pm3. I look at taking that lower number & setting non logged activity as seated/sedientary as a way to pad conservatively.
