calories burned while lifting weights
According to the calorie calculator on the website HealthStatus, someone who weighs 175 pounds will burn 204 calories during a 45-minute weight-training session. During an identical workout, a 200-pound person will burn 234 calories. The ability to burn a couple hundred calories in less than an hour of light weightlifting might seem impressive but, compared with aerobic exercises, the number of calories you'll burn lifting weights is minimal.
