Calorie Burning
If you see that a given aerobic exercise burns a certain amount of calories, e.g., running a mile burns 100 calories, be aware that the number is usually based on a 70 kg (154 lb) man. If you weigh more than that you will burn more calories for the same aerobic activity, and if you are lighter you will burn fewer calories.

Now this is very interesting. I wondered why the correct weight should be programmed in the activity before you hit start. Now I know. Thanks for the vital information :-)

hi, there! if running a mile is burning 100 calories, how many calories should i burn to lose 1 kg of my body weight? Does my question make sense or is it true that to lose 1 kg of body fat, one need to use 39,000kJ of energy?

To lose one pound of body weight one must burn 3,500 calories (whether from less eating, more moving, or both).
