Counting calories can help keep last night's dessert from becoming today's spare tire.
Use this calculator to discover how many calories you burn during your workout routines. Simply enter your information and click "Calculate".
To maintain a healthy weight, the calories you take in everyday through the food you eat should be roughly the same as the calories you burn. This is known as caloric balance.
About your resultsYou've burned through this exercise.
Keep up the good work! Exercising helps you burn off unused calories that would otherwise get stored in your body as fat.
Be sure to occasionally switch up your workout routines to keep exercise interesting. For example, if your primary exercise is to walk around your block, try walking to the store a couple of days a week instead.
And keep counting those calories to reach and maintain your target weight.
