I excercise and all I burned is 137 calories

A 30 minute workout doesn’t burn a whole lot of calories, that’s why dieting is essential and imperative when trying to lose weight. I know this because I’ve done it and read about it. But you also burn calories naturally throughout the day, even if you just sit down all day. So when trying to lose weight, every calorie is important. Thats part of the reason I don’t do cheat days, because I believe every calorie is essential to lose weight.

I did it in 25 minutes but think I need to do more.

And sometimes its not the length you spend working out, but the physical exertion. I can do 30 minutes of bench press with hardly any sweat, but try do that with running stairs with 35 pound kettlebells, and it’s a vastly different story.

But exercise kicks in your metabolism. So you continue burning calories for the day you exercise so it’s really more than 135

In college I would do a cardio workout first thing in the morning and then again in the afternoon. I got really thin doing that. But I don’t have the energy to work out twice a day anymore. So I do cardio once a day, five days a week, and weights 3 times a week

I don’t have weights but I’ve just started with cardio. I’ll do that until I can get to gym after this lockdown ends

Gender, height, weight & age factor into how many calories you burn. High exertion level during physical activity will increase your heart rate in beats per minute and therefore you sweat.
Were you sweating when doing your exercise?

I sweat like crazy
Do you have fitness tracker to monitor your heart rate?
My heart rate wasn’t good if was going from 120 to 150 but I’ll work on it. I don’t have a tracker it’s inbuilt to the bike
Built into the stationary bike? Or are you referring the metal grips on the bike handle bars that read your pulse from time to time?

That’s a great idea. You want to track your heart beat throughout the work out
My understanding is that exercise not only burns calories but also helps with appetite control.
