It's not that easy to calculate how many calories you burn in yoga and Pilates since the intensity of the class depends on the kind of exercises being done and the strength level of the class participants.\n\nIn general, a 130-pound person would burn approximately 260 calories an hour for a light to moderate Pilates mat-class. "Intense" Pilates would burn approximately 346 calories.\nYour weight affects how many calories you burn (the more you weigh, the more calories you burn), so use the following formula to make it more accurate: Divide the number of calories burned by 130 pounds. Multiply the answer by your weight in pounds. \n\nFor example, divide 260 calories by 130 pounds. The answer is 2 calories per pound. Multiply that by 110 pounds. The answer is 220 calories.\n\nSince you said 20 minutes then divide your answer by 3 since the calculation above is for an hour.\n\n\nTan-yuh this is how you would figure out yours - if you weighed 192 - its 2 calories per pound per hour\n\nso its 384 for an hour --- 384 *.33 because you worked out for 20 minutes which is .33 of an hour.\n\nThis equals 128 calories burnes for a 20 minutes pilates tape.\n\nPersonally I would say try to work your way up (at your own pace of course) to an hour long... 384 calories is a lot for one workout and thats how much you would burn for an hour.

I am assuming that the "500 calories" you said you are burning are based on what the machine displays.  This may not always be the most accurate assessment.  I would pay more attention to your heart rate, which will be a better indicator of whether you are in your aerobic fat-burning zone or not.  This can be ROUGHLY calculated by 220 minus your age (your predicted max heart rate) multiplied by the workout intensity (usually a pretty tough workout is 75% to 80%.) eg. if you are 30 years old, 220 - 30 = 190 x .75 = 142 heart rate.  Keeping your heart rate in this age will burn fat and, of course calories.

There are some estimates of the number of calories you burn during various forms of exercise at:\nhttp://k2.kirtland.cc.mi.us/~balbachl/calorie.htm\n\nThey show the difference depending on speed and weight and gender of the bicyclist. Hope this is helpful!

Try the taebo bootcamp dvd.  If that don't challenge you, then nothing will.  I can't go through half of one of dvd's without dying.  Are you working up a good sweat.  You must be in incredible shape.  Taebo burns over 1,000 calories for an hour a workout.  It's the best.  I'm about to do an hour right now.

Pilates or Yoga would be awesome.  Both of them are great for burning calories and they are both concentrated on core building.  To be honest all of them work just about the same so it doesnt matter who you buy.  They all come on different levels, so start on level one and then progress.\n\nYoga and Pilates use the weight of the body as resistance to challenge the muscles to become stronger. Yoga has more standing exercises that develop leg strength as well as balance. Pilates is mostly done lying on your back, on your stomach, on your side and sitting down. That's why I like to do both forms of exercise to have a good blend of standing and mat exercises. \n\nYoga also tends to have more exercises that challenge the upper body (chest, upper back, arms) than Pilates does unless you are doing machine-based Pilates, in which case the springs attached to the machines deliver sufficient resistance to strengthen the upper body muscles.\n\nAerobic or cardiovascular exercise is any exercise that is done continuously for 15 to 60 minutes or more while using the arms and legs in a rhythmic fashion. The goal of aerobic exercise is to increase the amount of blood pumped per beat to improve the efficiency and stamina of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Examples are walking, running, swimming, dancing, etc. \n\nIt's not that easy to calculate how many calories you burn in yoga and Pilates since the intensity of the class depends on the kind of exercises being done and the strength level of the class participants.\n\nIn general, a 130-pound person would burn approximately 260 calories an hour for a light to moderate Pilates mat-class and 236 calories for a yoga class. "Intense" Pilates would burn approximately 346 calories while an intense yoga class would burn about 400 calories per hour.\n\nYour weight affects how many calories you burn (the more you weigh, the more calories you burn), so use the following formula to make it more accurate: Divide the number of calories burned by 130 pounds. Multiply the answer by your weight in pounds. \n\nFor example, divide 260 calories by 130 pounds. The answer is 2 calories per pound. Multiply that by 110 pounds. The answer is 220 calories.\n\nNo doubt, Pilates has the most number of exercises that focus on the abs, waist, and trunk. Almost every variation you can think of for the abs is offered in Pilates. If abdominal and waist whittling is what you are looking for, Pilates is the ticket for you. This is not to say that yoga will not strengthen your abs and trunk because it will but Pilates just has much more focus on that area.

The number of calories you burn depends upon your weight, the activity your are doing and the intensity level you are exercising at. Any activity that you perform can be done at a variety of intensity levels. If you exercise at a higher intensity level, you will be working harder, expending more energy and burning more calories than someone who is not working quite so hard.\n\n\nI've included four separate Activity/Calorie tables. The tables should be used as a general guideline (the numbers are approximations). The number of calories you actually burn could be slightly higher or lower depending upon your intensity level and your weight.\n\n\nThe first table deals with step aerobics only. Calories are calculated for different step heights based upon a stepping rate of 120 beats per minute for a 120 pound person. If you weigh more than 120 or you are in a faster paced step class, the number of calories you'll burn will be higher than those displayed in the table. If you weight less than 120 or you are in a slower paced step class, you'll burn fewer calories than indicated in the table. The table is just an approximation of the number of calories you expend. If you work at a more intense level (raise your arms above your shoulders, lift your knees all the way to your chest etc...) you will burn more calories than displayed. (Data for this table was taken from Reebok Instructor News, Volume 4, Number 3, 1991.)\n\n\nStep Height\n Calories/min.\n Calories/10 min.\n Calories/30 min.\n \n4 inches\n 4.5\n 45\n 135\n \n6 inches\n 5.5\n 55\n 165\n \n8 inches\n 6.4\n 64\n 192\n \n10 inches\n 7.2\n 72\n 216\n \n\nThe second table gives the caloric expenditure after 10 minutes of activity for various body weights.

I have to disagree with the previous posts.\nIn 1/2 an hour, you'll burn around 300 + calories because an increase in temperature (112 - 116 degrees) over your normal body temp causes fat cells to liquify and excrete out with your sweat.  Your body burns calories just trying to keep your normal body temp!

Aloha Sweetie, I am a F.A.T. (Fabulous And Tasty) girl too. I can suggest that you try riding the elliptical trainer if you can it will burn 100 calories in 8 minutes "no joke". You work your whole body from arms, back, chest, glutes, and legs. If not try walking fast pace for 45 minutes. Make sure that you stay away from Sugar, Sodium, Dairy(take a calcium supplement) and also limit your fruit intake. It has alot of sugar & carbs in it as well. Eat alot of lean protein and vegetables. Eat 5-6 SMALL meals a day every 2-3 hours. Make sure they are 200 calories or less. Exercise EVERY day. Replace water with every soft drink. And, you will see a HUGE difference.

According to recent studies, the average 175-pound person can expect to use somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 - 200 calories during 30 - 45 minutes of sex. Of course, this estimate will vary by amount of movement and vigor, as well as by type of sex. Most burn around 100 calories

Burn more calories than you consume. It's a very simple equation, really.\n\nExercise helps burn calories.\n\nEat less, exercise more.
