According to a recent Harvard study, burning an extra 700-2,000 calories a week through some form of dynamic exercise garners significant health benefits.
The amount of calories burned during a workout depends on a personal weight, and the intensity and duration of the activity. The Harvard Heart Letter suggests finding benchmarks for various activities based on your weight.
The intensity of the exercise, however, does not make a difference in the number of calories burnt.

Hello! My name is Brock Barnhouse! I am 40 yrs old. I weigh approx. 185 lbs and am just a hair under 6 ft tall. I have been dieting for approx. 2 months and have lost about 17 lbs. I want to loose another 5 lbs – those hard and difficult 5 lbs!!
I excercise 6 times a week; burning approx. 450-700 calories per day. In order to loose 1-2 lbs a week, and based on the fact that I’m working out as such, how many calories should I be eating every day?
Thank you for any information you can give.
Blessings! Brock B.
