Cal burn during Cardio and Training

From my post in the Biogen topic, im creating a new topic here:

Yesterday morning reading using a Polar FT7
2.4 km - google maps calculation
FT7 stats
29min
396cal
av bpm - 118
max bpm - 160
fat burn 29min
fitness 11min

After my morning run, I went to gym and got the following stats

Stats:
total time - 58min
cal 625
avg bpm 121
max bpm 157
fat burn 50min
fitness 7min

So I jog to hit a heart rate of 160 then walk till it comes down to 115 then job again and so on

Is the cal lost during this time ok both cardio and training??

Anyone else monitor theirs?

I burnt 1410+- kcal in 01:58:40 worth of squash...
A gym session gets me in the region of 500 - 600kcal in around 50 mins to hour and 15 mins.

@Warren: Are you still a beginner squash player or are you on league level?

U want to aim to keep your heart rate at 140bpm or above constantly bud... that's the best for fat burning, if u gonna do interval cardio do hill sprints or normal sprints for about 20mins where u all out sprint up a road, walk down,sprint up walk down and repeat,that's very high intensity and can fry your central nervous system quite fast if over done, so do that 3x a week and constant heart rate cardio 3x a week

+1 For hill sprints. Find a nice 50-100m stretch and just smash it.

Mostly still at beginner level but moving on to the beginning to not suck level... lol... Played probably 5 years ago... for a month... then not much and now since November I have been playing once a week, I played through most of December. So I am starting to play a lot better and beat people who used to thrash me.

Is it not true that the body continues to use energy/calories at an increased rate even after training stops?

Afterburn!!!

There is a way to do this, cant recall how though, will look it up

Awesome bro you will love the game more every step you get better! The reason why I asked is because when I started I also used to have these hour and half sessions and I thought I was some kind of fitness God being able to play so long. Then when I was at my prime I could play for 30mins max then I was DEAD!! So what I am saying is I am quite sure you didn't burn all that many millions of calories that the internet is talking about.

Yeah...I do notice as my skill improves my fitness is forced to improve also... I've lost 6kg recently (thank you wisdom teeth op) and I am getting to more shots now.

Regarding the cals I burnt, I use a polar heart rate monitor to record my cals burnt...so it should be reasonably close?

Donner... I ran 2km today (well... jog to some of you guys)... arrived at the gym and my buddy was waiting in the parking lot... "Don't take your bag out... get your iPod."

Eish... 15mins later we were back at the car. It's a different fitness to squash and weight training.

Very different. I could run 10k in 35 minutes but couldn't squat 60kg. Totally different pain
