The Essential Calorie Burning Chart

A good calorie burning chart is essential to get a clue about the effect of your exercise program.

You lose weight when you burn more calories than you take in. So, next to getting an idea how much calories you consume during the day it is also vital to get a clue about how many you burn.

Of course, as with measuring your calorie intake, we should try to get a good idea, without spending the whole day on measuring. Use the calorie burning chart as an easy reference. Be aware though that a calorie chart can always only give you approximate values.
