SturgeonQueen's Journal, 11 February 2010

Grrr... Exercise is really making me mad! I see people burning 3500 calories a day, but I just don't have endurance to work out for 1-2 hours a day. Today I did my "hardest" workout at home, which is a 45 (43 according to the DVD) Hip-hop dance workout. It really makes me sweat! And with my sunburn, it doesn't require me to do any floor work. I think I'm going to go back and do the bicycle for about 20 minutes, because I'm feeling discouraged about not burning enough calories.

Is there any difference between calories I'm burning while sitting on my ass and calories I burn while exercising? I always thought I was burning the "bad calories" off when I worked out... maybe I'm wrong.

very few people burn 3500 calories a day (maybe athletes). Most people burn 200 to 500 calories a day. Even for a two hour workout, maybe 1000 to 1200 and that's a lot. The less you weigh, the less calories you burn per hour (so the amount of calories we burn is based on many factors). Don't compare yourself to others. The fact that you are out there working out is great.
