Merely staying alive burns off some calories.
And basically the more active you become, the more calories you burn.
Weight loss and calorie burn through exercise is mainly about getting and keeping your heart rate up. And pretty much all kinds of consistent activites, like running, bicycling, swimming, dancing etc etc does a better job of keeping your heart rate up than lifting weights does.
I can do around 1000 cal/hour during intense cardio, but find it really difficult to get past 600 while doing weight training.
Keep in mind that the big thing is your diet. If you are overeating it's pretty much impossible to exercise hard enough to lose anything that way. A snack that takes 5 minutes to eat, like a cupcake, can take one hour to burn off.

Depends on what you are doing and how hard you are exercising. I have a running watch that estimates calorie burn and it typically tells me about 100 calories per mile. So a 15 mile run would do it for you.

Aerobic exercise and weight lifting are the best combination for weight loss. Aerobic exercises such as running or biking burn a lot of calories over a short period of time. Weight lifting builds muscle mass which burns calories faster than fat.
Does aerobics burn more calories than weight lifting?
When it comes to burning calories, your heart rate is much more important than what it is that you are doing. If you can reach and sustain the same heart rate for the same amount of time you will burn pretty much the same amount of calories regardless of activity.Usually aerobics would keep your heart rate up more consistently than weight lifting, so for the same period of time, aerobics would burn more calories.
How many calories do you burn off per hour in the gym?
It depends on what you do at the gym. Running on the treadmill will burn between 500-600 calories depending how fast you are goin. An elliptical at medium resistance will burn about 550 calories. Yoga will burn about 400 calories. Weight lifting will vary greatly based on the type of weights and the heaviness.
Does weightlifting burn more calories than walking?
When talking about calorie usage, what's important isn't what you do, but how hard and how long you keep at it.If you get equally sweaty and winded, expect to burn about the same amount of calories for the same length of exercise.
How many calories do 50 squats burn?
It's very difficult to determine how many calories are burned during any weight lifting activity because there are so many variables. It depends on how much you weigh, if you're using extra weight, how long it takes you to do 50 repetitions, and how long you rest between each rep. Also, weight lifting exercises like squats are not normally used to burn calories, because aerobic exercise is the best if you're concerned about how many calories you're burning.

Calories burned by lifting 10lb dumbbells?
That will depend on a lot of factors, like: 1. Your weight. Calories burned during any activity is always related to how much you weigh. The higher your weight, the more calories you'll burn. 2. What exercises you're doing. Lifting a 10 lb dumbbell in a lateral raise while doing a lunge burns a lot more calories than standing in place, doing a bicep curl. 3. Your current level of fitness/strength. You burn more calories on activities your body isn't accustomed to doing. 4. How intense the exercise is for you. Vigorous lifting that gets your heartrate going and your muscles burning is going to burn more calories than light/moderate lifting. How used you are to the weight you're lifting and whether you're doing any other activities (like cardio intervals in between sets, for example) will determine your caloric burn.
