ChefBrian: It is simple work is work and work requires energy If you put a fit woman on an eliptical machine for an hour she will burn well in excess of 1000 calories. You can prove this for yourself. Get on an elpitical machine and workout for an hour. If you are in half way decent shape you will burn 1000 easy.
The metabolic diferences between two 130 pound females is very minor. The well muscled one will have a slightly higher metabolic rate. This is widely known and it was proven over a century ago. There is no debating it. It is fact. The idea that 2 people of the same weight can have radically different metabolic rates is absurd. It has been claimed but it has never been proven and it never will be proven. The metabolism excuse is pathetic. Don't buy it. Fat people use it so that they can convince people that there is some mystery to why they "can't" lose weight. It gives them a convienient excuse to overeat.
The metabolic range for human that weigh the same is VERY narrow. That fact is indisputable. Fat people would like to have you believe otherwise but facts are facts.
ChefBrian, if I lift a 50 pound weight 3 feet and you lift that same weight 3 feet in the same manner that I do you will have expended the same amount of energy because you are doing the same amount of work. You can apply some hocus pocus about enery transfer but that will not cahnge the fact that the same work was donr and the same amount of energy was used to do it. If you are implying that fat people's bodies are more efficient at using energy than fit people's bodies you would be wrong. For instance, a fat persons heart works much mcuh harder 24/7 than a thin person's heart. Ater strenuous exercise a fat person will have a longer revovery period. The will breath harder and faster and theri heart will beat harder and faster for a linger time. and that will burn calories.
