High reps low weight(calories burned)

unknown

I tried to research a little better on how to calculate how many calories are burned from doing high reps and low weight. For example.. This whole month my boyfriend and I are doing 50 reps with 5 sets at a lower weight per exercise. I understand everyone is different because of weight height how hard you are training. We do ours with a 30 sec rest back to back. How do you calculate this?

unknown

I'm not sure of the calories burned, you can probably log it as circuit training under cardio. May I ask what your motivation is for doing a high rep low weight routine?

50 reps of 5 sets of what?
how many training sessions?
is this is homemade program or a structured one?

Just to honestly try something different.. Build a little muscles also while toning up.

Everything we do for the week. Example leg extension we do 50x5. Every muscle we work on during the week we do this. This is a structured workout we got the workout from a few buddies my boyfriend body builds with.

That sounds like massive overkill...

So if you do barbell squats you do 5x50??

Lmao I do the barbell plus 25lbs my bf does 2 45lbs.. Ya it kills us both but you feel amazing afterward!

Despite the fact that I have no idea what you are trying to accomplish with that plan, I would say just put it in to the cardio section as "strength training" and use the numbers it spits out. That will be as good of a guess as any.

So your boyfriend does a total of 250 reps of 225#?!

unknown

I would estimate 20-25 calories per set on average. However, at that resistance level, you are likely getting more of an endurance/cardio effect than a strength training effect. You are at a level that is likely less than 30% of 1RM and that's probably not enough to progresdively increase strength. Which is fine, just make sure your workouts are aligned with your goals.

unknown

I would calculate it as "a waste of time". Is that exercise entered in the database, I wonder?

I think she means a total of 2 45's..one on each side..so 135# @ 250 reps…???

The way to track calories with weight training is using a HRM(heart rate monitor).
You will burn more calories lifting heavier, not lighter. Example, 50 reps x 5 sets. Lets assume 1lbs lifting weight(just for example)

1*50*5 = 250 total weight lifting

Now imagine if you do 100lbs for 5 sets and 5 reps

100 *5*5 = 2500 total weight lifted.

What takes more time, 50 reps or 5 sets, or 5 reps for 5 sets? You're doing more work in a shorter period of time. It's like walking 1 mile or sprinting 1 mile, what burns more?
