Sorry to tell you this but weight training doesn't burn that much calories. First of all because weight training isnt continuous. Meaning you lift for about 15 seconds then take a 2 minute break. Also when you weight train you use sugar as an energy source not fat like you do when doing cardio. If you walk at a fast pace for about 1 hour you will burn around 400 calories. What you did right now only burned probably 150 calories at most. Not to say weight training is bad because i do lots of weight training its great for building muscle but for burning calories cardio like walking and jogging is king.
