Jay Blahnik, the L.A. Times' excellent fitness guru, has some bad news for calorie counting geeks who take too much satisfaction from calculating the calories they imagine they've burned using the latest exercise equipment: They're probably wrong.
"Published calorie-burn rates are usually
estimates and are sometimes exaggerated to help boost the marketability
of an exercise product or an activity," writes Blahnik."Without sophisticated
equipment and exercise testing, there is no way to determine your exact
calorie burn while running, walking or swimming."
It's true that some exercises burn more calories than others, Blahnik says, but common sense should tell us that the best way to burn more calories is to do whatever you are doing harder and longer.
"In the end, " Blahnik tells us, "you will burn the most calories overall when you are
choosing activities that motivate you to exercise more often."
