Today, I am resting my body. It is important to give your body time to recover. CrossFit is a very intense workout and between that and running, my muscles definitely can use some R&R.
For good measure, I am monitoring calorie burn today. The idea is to get as many data points as possible.
I started wearing the waistband at about 9:45am so I will have it on until about 7:45pm.
At 4:10pm, burned 1420kcal
At 7:45pm (10 hours) burned 1954kcal (195kcal per hour)

Day 4 - Crossfit WOD
Today's workout:
Seven rounds of:
35 Double-unders
1 Snatch
I did this in 13:10 with total weight 434 (62 lb per snatch).At the end of this I burned 290kcal.
Post WOD was deadlifts
5 rounds 5 reps @ 50% (85 lbs)
5 rounds 3 reps @ 70% (135 lbs)
5 rounds 1 reps @ 90% (185 lbs Failed)
Check out the Fitness Battalion CrossFit blog to see more details.
After this which 15 min later, I burned 450kcal. (11:30am)
After 10 hours I only burned 2456kcal.
What did I eat before and after?
I woke up late so I skipped breakfast. Bad move because I could tell I was running out of fuel. I did drink some water mixed with Jack3d. Wonder if this changes calorie burn and how much it improves the workout? Maybe I will do 1 of of Jack 3d next week in bootcamp to compare.
For lunch I had tuna and crackers.

Day 3 - CrossFit WOD
Had two days rest on tues and wed so I'm back at my week of CrossFit. I tried to measure my rest day calorie burn but it didn't work out so well because I didn't get good contact on the waist belt. (It needs a little sweat to make a good connection.)
Here's the workout.
For time: Run 1 mile (big loop + small loop)
Check out the Fitness Battalion CrossFit blog to see more details.
Today I burned 350kcal in crossfit after 55 min.
1 mile run (8min 42sec),
Post WOD:
50 partner pushups,
50 partner ball situps,
50 partner lunges (15lbs),
25 bear complexes (squat clean, thrusters, back thrusters).
Time for post wod ~12min.
At 12:46pm (20 min later) my burn was at 416kcal. That's another 66kcal post workout! Whoa!
Let's see what it is after a few hours.
In 10 hours I burned 2340kcal.
What did I eat before and after?
I had Kashi Heart-to-heart with Almond Milk before the workout.
I was bad and had 3 fried chicken wings from Popeyes with mashed potatoes afterward.

Day 1 - Calorie Burn on a Sedentary Day
Today is Sunday, May 22, 2011. I woke up late, so I started tracking my calorie burn at 11:15am. My watch maxes out at 10 hours, so the measurements will be in 10 hour intervals.
Copyright 2011 Dacia Tarleton
- 11:15am - 9:15pm - 1860 kcal - Regular day of running errands, surfing the net, reading, etc. Nothing too out of the norm. So looks like I burn about 180 kcal per hour on a sedentary day.
- 10:00pm - 8:00 am - 597kcal - Surfing the web, sleeping, waking. So basically while sleeping I burned about 300kcal. I went to be late, around 1am but I noticed I had already burned over 200kcal at that point.

How Many Calories Are Burned in Bootcamp?
So far, I have burned between 450kcal and 500 kcal during 40 minutes of bootcamp. This is great, but the true test will be the long-term burn throughout the day following bootcamp. Ideally I would like to do bootcamp at the same time everyday, but this may not be feasible. I will do my best to remain consistent. The goal is 10 hours of measurement with the first hour starting with the activity.

How Calories Are Burned in a Crossfit Workout of the Day (WOD)
I have been tracking my calorie burn when doing Crossfit WOD for 3 weeks. My average burn during the 45 to 60 minute time frame is 270 Kcal.
What is interesting is not just what you burn during the workout, but what your body burns following the workout. Over the next few days I will be updating my burn during the workout and 9 hours after the workout minus the time it takes for a shower.
I workout at Fitness Battalion for Crossfit. Check them out below.

What Is This All About?
The goal of this blog is to determine which is the best way to burn calories. Is it in the gym doing a regular workout with some cardio and some weights, doing a jog, Crossfit, or bootcamp. For good measure, I am also tracking my calorie burn during days where I am not working out to see what I burn in a regular day doing sedentary activities like working on my computer or reading a book.
I weight 149 lbs. I am 5' 6". I have an athletic build.
I use a Sportline Duo Heart rate monitor watch with a chest belt to track my heart rate and calorie burn. This is one of the most accurate ways to monitor calorie burn. Keep in mind that everyone is different, so you may burn more or less calories than I do attempting a similar experiment. The idea here is to use a scientific approach to understanding the effects of various work outs from a caloric perspective on an individual.
