The physics definition of "work" does not directly correlate to the physiology of exercise. Calories burned is not as simple as Force x Distance. Consider holding a heavy weight above your head for a long period of time. You will be doing no "work" in the physics sense, but you will still become fatigued. The fatigue is oxygen deprivation from anaerobic metabolism. The body burns more calories with activated muscles than with unused muscles. For this same reason, standing for a period of time burns more calories than sitting for the same duration. As you mentioned, there is a burning effect that persists after the exercise is completed. The body must replace nutrients that were depleted in the muscle cells that were used during the exercise, among other things. Also you guys need to get a CAPTCHA for posting on this site. Bots are posting ads constantly all over the place. This post is completely wrong. The physics definition of “work” does not directly correlate to the physiology of exercise.

Keeps you workouts hard, and makes you really appreciate how much weight you;ve lost when you take the thing off! Wear a backpack, and for every pound you lose put another pound in the rucksack.
