Estimating caloric expenditure?

Yxven Posts: 76 Joined: 2004/09/05	2007/01/03, 02:59 PM Is there any semiaccurate way of estimating the caloric expenditure of weight training or cardio? Most estimates I've seen are very rough and are usually in the form of "2-3 hours of heavy weight training burns..." What's "heavy weight training?" Is there anything more specific? Like 1 squat of 135 pounds burns X number of calories at this weight and height?
