Are you asking if your body will continue to burn 600 calories per hour, for 24 hours, even after you've finished your workout? Or, are you asking if your metabolism rate will stay elevated?

No! If that would be true I don't think hardly anyone would be overweight in this world.

I could be a little elevated though but nowhere near the numbers you get during the exercise.

Hey bexx! It's not true that you'll burn "at the same rate" for 24 hours. It depends what type of exercise you've done, but you will burn SOME calories, just not 600 per hour. After low-moderate 'cardio' (aerobic exercise) your body returns fairly quickly to resting levels, usually within about an hour after exercise. ACSM reports that you may burn 20-30 calories extra during that post-cardio hour. There are many studies out there suggesting that after strength training, you will burn more calories for a much longer period, 24 - 36 hours in some cases. This depends on the intensity of the strength training session and the actual number of calories that you burn per hour hasn't really been agreed upon yet.

The amount of calories burned post-exercise is not really enough to worry about. You will not burn nearly as many calories during recovery from exercise as through regular exercise sessions!

Hope that helps!
