Not that this is new news, so take this as a reminder, in order to create that calorie deficit towards losing pounds one has to burn more calories than they take in. In order to lose 1 pound of fat the caloric burn would have to be 3500 calories per week. Therefore, you would have to burn calories at a rate of 500 per day, 7 days a week in order to lose 1 pound of fat per week.
An easier way to gauge your calorie burn is by your level of intensity and the length of the workout.
Given that each body mass is different, its important to take into account your individual weight and the amount of calories needed to burn per hour. Considering the type of workout and its intensity is key. For instance, if you weigh 150 lbs and you run for a hour at 5 mph (about a <12 minute mile), according to the American College of Sports Medicine, your body is likely to burn about, 537 calories.
There are various activities upon which you can measure your calorie burn, feel free to take a look at the list provided by nutristrategy and determine what works for you.
Happy trails!
