Keep in mind that the amount of calories that you burn varies upon you weight and height. If you are a larger person, then you will be prone to burning more calories. Although, exercise is a great way to burn more calories; your diet can be even more important! Intaking extra fat, carbs, and calories can hinder your success. Diet and exercise should always go hand in hand!
