26M , 5'8 , 242lbs I am using this app for dumbbell workouts at home https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dumbbellworkout.dumbbellapp.homeworkout&hl=en_US&pli=1 for Weight Training, You can choose exercises to use and it's rather easy to use.
I'm doing Warmups/Stretching + Chest/Back + Shoulders/Arms which makes for a total of 50 minutes , although i believes it also counts the rest times between exercises. atm I do this twice a week (been thinking about doing three times, but atm I prefer Cardio)
I have to say though that compared to Cardio this exhaust me and makes me sweat far more quickly,
The app also gives an estimates of the calories you've burned, it takes into account your age/height/weight however this seems quite high to me.
Chest/Back workout for 15min33s with a pair of 4kg dumbbells (8.8lbs) estimates 130 calories burned Arms/Shoulders workout for 23mins with the same dumbbells estimates 207 calories burned.
Do those numbers seems accurate or is it inflated ?
And yes I know those weight are pretty light but I can't handle any higher without half-assing exercises which is apparently quite important to get right for beginners.
