I briskly walked on the treadmill at the gym today for 20 minutes. The machine said I burned approximately 100 calories. That didn't even burn off a whole Luna bar! I know I need to up my cardio, but I enjoy lifting weights more. I almost feel like why bother if that's all the calories I drop! Does anyone else feel this way sometimes?

Please excuse my ignorance. I did more research online and re-read the post from the other day about BMR. I guess it didn't sink in that you burn calories throughout the day, even when you're not exercising. I'm new to this whole exercising and working out stuff, so sorry if I keep sounding stupid
