That's the basic science of it. It can get more complicated, but that the simple version. Jogging is actually better for losing weight than sprinting hard.

I know you burn calories doing daily things without actually working out ie sleeping, but to burn 3000 calories, thats very hard. I think i read like 60mins on a treadmill going 3-4mph burns only like 300 calories if that.
I wish there was a better way to figure out how many calories you burn, some of the formulas ive seen do not take into account so many things different to each person.
