Two people do the exact same exercise routine for the same amount of time. One weighs 'x' pounds and the other weighs '1.5x' pounds. Will they burn up the same amount of calories or will the other burn up 1.5x calories? Or something different?

Each will burn calories differently: Calories burned per pound per minute (badminton - .044) x (times) your exact weight (140 pounds) = (equals) total calories burned per minute (6.16 calories burned per minute) x (times) minutes of activity (30 minutes) = (equals) 184.80 total calories burned per activity Badminton .044 Basketball .063 Bicycling (5.5 mph) .029 Bicycling (9.5 mph) .045 Climbing hills (no load) .055 Climbing hills (with 9 lb. load) .058 Climbing hills (with 22 lb. load) .064 More info and more activities: http://whatscookingamerica.net/Information/CalorieBurnChart.htm Feb 01 10, 10:21 PM
