Health resource website HealthStatus.com provides calorie burn statistics for a variety of activities.

According to HealthStatus, a 170-lb 2. person can expect to burn about 1,000 calories in one hour of this workout routine.

Body Weight

How much weight you carry with you effects how many calories you burn in any given workout. If you have trouble envisioning why this is so, imagine doing your regular run while wearing a 200-lb backpack. A 200-lb person will burn about 1,300 calories in the same workout, while a 110-pound person will burn closer to 700.
