I'm now working out for over 2 hours x 4-5 days a week. I start with 26 minutes on the treadmill, running about 3.9 km. Then I do weights and core building exercises for roughly 1 hour. After that I do another 15 minutes of treadmill running at a slightly higher speed, running for 2.3 km. I end with about 20 minutes of stretching.
I always start around 5:30pm, ending at about 7:30pm. My cardio workout burns roughly 600 calories. Which is roughly 94 calories per km, or 14 calories per minute.
My muscle building weight and core training probably burns another 300 calories (slow burn).
In total, I burn roughly 900 calories per workout.
Even with all the changes to my diet as well as consistent exercise 5 days a week, I'm only losing roughly 0.5 lb, or 1750 calories per week. That works out to losing 350 calories per workout.
I think losing weight at the beginning was easier. Losing weight as I come closer to my goal is getting harder and harder as my body refuses to burn off the extra doughnut of fat around my belly, lower back, chest (funny enough...especially around my nipples), and legs. I'm assuming that subcutaneous fat in subcutaneous areas are harder to get rid of as my body fights to keep hold of a little fat in case of emergency.
