Good Morning America—September 29, 2015
Good Morning America visited the Tisch Sports Performance Center at Hospital for Special Surgery to test how many calories you actually burn during a workout as many people tend to overestimate this amount.
"It takes a long time to burn a lot of calories, and a very short time to eat those same amount of calories," said Polly de Mille, Exercise Physiologist at HSS. "You may go for a run and burn 500 calories and you can probably eat that in 30 seconds."
Correspondent Mara Schiavocampo and two additional volunteers participated in three workouts (running on a treadmill, a bike session and the 7-minute workout) while hooked up to our machine to measure calorie release. Watch to see if they correctly guessed how many calories they burned in their workouts.
