How would you estimate calories burnt during a heavybag session? I do h.i.i.t training on the bag basically 2 mins of hitting the bag with hard fast combos non stop then I have 30 seconds rest and then go again. I do this for 8 rounds. So 2 mins x 8 = 16 mins on the bag and 30secs x 7= 3.5 mins rest altogether. After the bag workout I am sweating like crazy and cant throw another punch.. is there a good way of estimating calories burned or should I track my heart rate and work it out at the end

    HRMs aren't at all good for estimating calories for HIIT.
    Guess/estimate what you think you burned in the 16mins of effort only.
