Note: Numbers are based on moderate activity. A heavier person burns more calories, so the same amount of physical activity can actually burn the same number of calories but more quickly. But remember, exercising harder and faster only increases the calories expended slightly. To burn more calories it is better to exercise for a longer period of time. Determining how many calories you burn is not an exact science. This number should only be used as an estimate of calorie expenditure.
