So you burned 300 calories on the elliptical this morning? Great! But if you are adding up your calories to lose weight you need to know your Net calories burned, not your Gross calories. I won't get too into the technical/mathematical side of things, but here we go...
Did you know that 3,500 calories equals one pound of fat? Well, if you are using exercise to burn those 3,500 calories you need to factor OUT what you would have burned if you did no activity during that time you exercised.
Let's say, for example, your resting metabolic rate has you burning 80 calories per hour doing absolutely nothing. Yep, even while you are sleeping you are burning those calories. Now maybe instead of taking a nap for 1 hour you decide to go to the gym to workout. So you hop on the elliptical for an hour and burn 500 calories. You do this every day of the week and on the 7th day you weigh yourself expecting to have lost 1 pound since you burned 500 calories each day on the elliptical. Well, if you didn't notice any weight loss it might be because you didn't actually burn 3,500 calories more than you normally do. Multiply the 80 calories you would have burned sleeping during that hour each day by those 7 days (80 x 7), subtract it from 3,500 calories and you actually only burned 2,940 (NET) calories (560 calories short of burning enough to lose one pound).
It may not seem like 80 calories not considered each day makes a big difference but over 365 days that is 29,200 calories - which equates to an additional 8 pounds that won't be lost each year if you forget to factor OUT the resting calories you would burn anyway.
So do one to two more days of the elliptical, or whatever way you prefer to exercise, before weighing in after that first "week" and you should be close to losing that pound. Or burn 600 GROSS calories each hour/day doing exercise and you will be right around 3,500 additional calories burned per week. But hey, our bodies aren't perfect - they don't always follow the mathematical rules to weight loss- just be patient and give it time.

Zero. With the exception of sweating, all you're doing in sitting on your rear. This is wrong. If you ever rode a motorcycle you would know how tired you are after a long ride. You are always moving, watching and shifting your weight and your bike. I am not sure of the calories burned but have heard between 25 and 36 calories burned for 15 minutes of riding or 102 calories burned for an hour of riding.
