How many Calories burnt doing Weight Training?

Post by verbatim11 »

Hi

Does anyone know how many calories get burnt doing weight training?

We have small gym at work and currently I am using the following machines:

- Chest Press
- Shoulder Press
- Lat Pulls
- Leg Press
- Free Weight Bar Bell

Currently I do 3 sets of 10 reps at 18kg on each machine(I'm just a beginner!). Takes me about 20-25 minutes.

Cheers :)
