    I wouldn't normally log something like yoga but I wore my heart rate monitor out of curiosity the last time I did Jillian Michael's yoga meltdown. I was surprised to see that 35 minutes apparently burned 160 calories for me (I'm 32 and 68kg).

    However, a part of me thinks my heart rate was elevated due to frustration with the hard positions rather than any kind of "workout"!
