Hey Cathe! I was just wondering how many calories I would burn doing the entire Imax2 cardio segment once? Thanks!

Oh yes! I forgot to add in that information. I weight 170, I have a little more muscle on me than fat, but I still have like 20 pounds of fat on my body. I'm 21 years old. I hope this helps, and thank you so much!

cute work out clothes are good for AT LEAST an additional 10-15 calories burned!

I think the only way to get a good estimation is to use a heart rate monitor. Figuring out calories burned is a tricky thing and depends on MANY different factors including everything that Kathryn stated as well as how hard you are working(RPE),heart rate, time of day, how long ago you ate something, what kind of cardiovascular shape you are in, how much fat mass and lean mass you have on your body, etc. Also, calories burned may vary workout to workout. For example, last week I did the Gauntlet and the heart rate monitor said I burned 667 caloried (and this is ALWAYS an estimation), but the last time I did it I burned 530 calories. Like everything with exercise, it is an individual thing and the numbers will vary depending on all of these factors.

Hi Lanie!
This is a popular question. Please see the following responses I have given in the past!
Response #1
Every person responds to exercise differently and therefore there is no way to determine exactly many calories a particular workout burns. But here are a couple of things to keep in mind.
1) The more in shape you become doing a particular workout, the harder you have to work to burn more calories during this workout. The reason is because as you become more adapted (and more fit) to this workout your body will not be as challenged by certain moves as it once was. But the remedy to this is not to go kill yourself though. Instead you can change your workout to something different but of equal intensity and you'll be back to huffing and puffing again. That's the beauty of cross training; spare your body potential injury while improving your fitness level.
2) A very general rule is that a body burns between 6 and 10 calories per minute based on the level of output. So a 30 minute all out intense workout could burn around 300 calories while a 30 minute intermediate workout could burn 180 calories. I would not be too committed to that thought process and rather use that as a general guideline.
Good Luck!

Unfortunately there is no way to know EXACTLY how many calories you have burned off with each of these workouts. Everybody has a different metabolism and works at a different fitness level(just to mention a few factors that influence this outcome). I can tell you that once you are in your aerobic training zone, the average person burns about 6 calories per minute when working in the lower end of their training zone and about 10 calories per minute when working in their higher training zone. Interval workouts can go even higher during the work phase of the interval. Hope this helps.
