Choose Your Indoor Strength Training

Knowing how much you burn doing both indoor and outdoor cardio is important, but so is knowing how many calories you'll burn doing all your strength training moves. Strength training is just as important to weight loss and maintenance as cardio is, but it often falls by the wayside in favor of cardio. Here are some different strength training moves and the amount of calories they burn. The calculation is based on a 130 pound woman, so it will vary slightly depending on your size.
