I usually enjoy these sorts of discussions. What I don't enjoy is engaging in conversation with persons who are so insecure that belligerence takes precedence over the simple, and usually pleasant, give and take of fact and opinion. I reiterate, biking is king when it comes to burning calories. If you have done a lot of biking you likely already know this intuitively.

The chart above doesn't take into account the calories burned after the activity has ceased, caloric afterburn. Another plus for intense biking and also a big plus for weight training.

You thought you were coming with a reputable link that says Harvard, but you didn't think to look at the sources. Just because harvard.edu publishes something, doesn't mean it's beyond scrutiny, look at the SOURCES. Jesus Christ save us all.- ACE Fitness. Physical Activity Calorie Counter

- University of Rochester Medical Center. Calorie Burn Rate Calculator
I just finished telling you that calorie counters online have a high margin of error. Just said it and there you go with a Harvard link like you the man lmao.
In case you didn't know lol, you don't go to fcuking Harvard to learn about Kinesiology. You go to Harvard for medicine like internal medicine especially being a surgeon, chemistry, economics, physics, mathmatics, polysci, psychology business, etc not fcuking Kinesiology.
You have zero reading comprehension and my time will not be wasted. You're on ignore now.

You keep making the same ****** idiot mistakes and trying to push your garbage with ZERO LIFE EXPERIENCE on me. Next thing you're going to do is tell me how to throw a left hook with a source from harvard.edu.

There is no source anywhere that agrees with you, none.
Don't let that stop you from pontificating on subjects you have no knowledge of, you just be you

Me too, you sweat so much. Elliptical is better for you than running joint wise. Running should really only be used if you're into being a competitive athlete. Now that I'm older, I've realized the toll running puts on your body, you don't think about it when you're young. Ended up tearing my meniscus doing something non athletic. Not the end of the world and I'm totally ok, but you think about how you got there and running thousands of miles was one of them.War Room likes this.

If yes, I would literally need to have a consultation. So many questions: height, weight, shoe brand, how do you pronate (you can tell by looking at the bottom of a really used sneaker where which side is bore down), run outside what kind of surface, run inside, heel/toe or toe/heel, weather, leg gear, diet, sharp pain when you ran or after, past medical issues, type of job you have, any pain when you ran or after, if yes what kind, would need to see a sample video if you running, etc.
When I see people running, most runners have poor form or form issues. I was lucky to have good coaching from competitive runners I personally knew.
If you're not competing, don't run at all. When you hit 40, you'll thank me.
