Overdoing it?
How many days in a row should you exercise? I already know that you aren't supposed to do full body strength training every day, as this gives the muscles time to rest and rebuild. Is it OK to do HIIT cardio 6 days in a row?.

Thoughts on calories burned
I went to a strength class today. It's a really hard class, so I wore my heart rate monitor. Most of the time I was between 60-75% of MHR (Karvonen Formula). It's an hour long class.
