I just started using kettlebells and found a workout by Acacia for beginners! I am not able to find kettlebells in list of exercise! I know I burned some calories but am certain it wasn't the 400 per 20min that seems to be what's typical for this exercise! How does one figure calories burned ?

    kettlebells isn't an exercise, it is a piece of equipment. Its the same reason you don't find barbells in the list of exercises.

    If you did cardio with weights, you can try using circuit training, if you did more strength work, then use the strength training entry to estimate calories. Basically, find the exercise that most closely resembles whatever routine you did and use that.

    I always log my kettlebell workouts under circuit training. I also have that video in my collection. :smile: Kettlebells produce some amazing results!!
