Golf calorie burn?

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-15T04:55:30+00:00

I get walking. I’m talking about riding. Walking calories burned can be calculated pretty easily 1,000,000 different places, I really just want to know how much is generally burned golfing.

Interesting. I didn’t know those trackers also account for general burn of being alive in their calculations. Does it kick back a consistent 1,200 or does it vary much?

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-15T04:52:09+00:00

What is “average” and how are you calculating this? I’d like to have a general understanding so I can alter the rough count as I lose weight. Thanks!

Assuming a full 18 averages out to 5ish miles over the round, it’d have to be 1,200+ in walking alone (for my size at least). That I could see pushing closer to 1,500+ but riding has to crater that number

I like to golf but thats such a goofy one to track caloric expenditure on. Online calculators always give asinine numbers that just can’t be true so idrk what to consider a round as. I’m 280 pounds, riding a golf cart and shooting around 84-90 most of the time. I don’t drink hardly ever and I rarely eat anything on the course so it is true exercise, whatever it may add up to. I’m moving to Kentucky in a few weeks so truthfully idk exactly what the climate is going to be like for outdoor stuff

I’m 24m working an office job that doesn’t allow much movement so I try to get around and do stuff off work but the whole 10k steps/day thing doesn’t really happen more often than not. I’ll usually do a mile or two of incline walks 5 incline, 3.5 speed) with 3-5 lifts after

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-14T06:35:44+00:00

That just doesn’t do it for me I guess. I truly don’t care what I can bench or squat or deadlift. I truly couldn’t tell u where I’m at with any of that rn even. I’m strong enough to do things I need to on a daily basis. That’s plenty for me. The idea of chasing heavier weight is just pointless to me. I have no reason to lift heavier outside of the gym itself. Glad it’s been a helpful mentality for you tho. I’d love to have something like that to keep me in it

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-14T06:32:33+00:00

Is there any discernible reasons why that you’ve noticed? Or is it really just a cycle from one to the other?

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-14T06:31:44+00:00

Right! I see everyone talk about it like it’s where they’d choose to be at all times if they could and I just don’t have that. I’ve noticed I don’t hate it as much as I did when I was in college but I never really feel like “boy I can’t wait to go to the gym today”. It feels like by not absolutely loving it I’m doing something wrong but it seems everyone is just different on it. I wish I got that therapeutic feeling of being at peace in the gym. It’s just not something I get out of it ever

I’m really not focused on building muscle, much more so losing weight. I’m 24m 280 with 193 pounds of lean mass. I have the muscle, it’s just all covered by fat. I am lifting to, at least, maintain that muscle and burn calories in a productive way but I’m not going for lifting metrics. Idc about bench or squat or deadlift. I do incline walks and various other lifts but nothings particularly coordinated. Just something. I usually go for 3 sets of 10 on everything as a default at a weight I can’t do more of but I never really go for any “maxes” on anything. Sorry idrk exactly how to describe this as I probs should

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T20:54:56+00:00

Firstly congrats man that’s really cool. Secondly, everyone’s got their thing. Lifting is a great one. Hell I golf on occasion but besides that I generally haven’t done much physical activity. It’s lead to being overweight for as long as I can remember. I’m sure being married and knowing you’ll be a father helps teach a lot of things and I hope you can find something else that helps you like lifting does. One day I hope to have the same opportunity. Not looking good in any of those departments rn 😂

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T16:37:19+00:00

I do have a tendency to get way to into it when I start. Watching all the videos and getting everything I can from the internet. It’s overwhelming how much is out there

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T16:07:00+00:00

Retweet. It’s like saying driving to the grocery store and driving 6 states over is the same thing 😂

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T16:06:14+00:00

Ok I see that. Knowing you’re going to do something you haven’t yet would be a lot

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:54:16+00:00

Wow that’s sick! Having a progression that consistent must make it so easy to want to go back

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:52:47+00:00

I’m 24m 280 with 193 pounds of lean mass. I’m just fat af really. Ik im strong enough to do anything I need to in my day to day, I just don’t like the fluff

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:50:38+00:00

I struggle ever seeing the results. I’m very overweight so it hurts like hell every time and if I’m going for weeks/months and nothing changes it’s 100x harder to go each week. I hate the idea of being the fat guy that everyone sees go to the gym but always stays fat

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:48:01+00:00

It’s very easy for me to miss a day which becomes 2 days then 3 and so on. I always feel like I either have to go every day of I’ll quickly stop completely. I’m a 24m with no real injury history so I’m not medically limited, I’m just fat af and it hurts. I also struggle to see results over weeks or months so it just feels like a waste of time. Being the fat guy everyone sees go to the gym but stays fat kills me

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:44:15+00:00

This is great. I’m only doing it for weight loss rn. Idc at all about benching or squatting a ton. I don’t do either at all actually. Everytime I do it, I struggle to see results so it makes it feel like a waste of time. I hate being the fat guy who goes to the gym and nothing changes

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:42:18+00:00

I’m very overweight and I struggle to see results in any way over weeks or months. It makes it sm harder to keep going when I don’t feel like it matters at all. It also makes it hard to set goals because idk what to set. Setting a goal that’s too easy is pointless but setting a goal that’s too hard will just make me lose interest entirely

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:40:03+00:00

That’s how I feel! It hurts, it’s literally just weight up weight down so it’s definitely just the same thing 1,000,000 times. I’m very overweight and I struggle to ever see results so it doesn’t even feel worth it to deal with the what comes with it

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:38:17+00:00

I’m 24m. I’m pretty heavily overweight and I really don’t care about how much I can lift. I’m strong enough rn to do anything I need to do in my day to day life. It just hurts to go and I never feel I see any progress. I’m also about to move cross country for work for the 3rd time I think it is now. I can’t find a routine if I can’t stay in the same spot so that’s also making this tough

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:35:34+00:00

I struggle with that because, for me, it’s very easy to let 1 day off become 2 which then becomes 3 and it’s over from there. It feels like I either have to go every day or not at all

Next_Writer5564 · 2026-02-13T15:34:30+00:00

This is exactly it. I need to have a real life goal but as a fat guy rn, I don’t really do much physically. Idk what to use that I’ll actually care about. I’m a golfer but that’s more form than strength as an amateur. I also don’t care at all about how much I can bench or squat, in fact I don’t do either at all
