Hey everyone!

I wanted to know a rough estimate of how many calories are burned during a crossfit session.

    Generally about 10-12 calories per minute if you are working hard and staying consistently active.

    Hey Vicky,

    That's going to be really tough to answer without you wearing a pretty decent HR monitor. Since each WOD is, by definition, completely different, there are going to be some that are better suited to your strengths than others. Some WODs have multiples of compound lifts in them, some Have rowing, some have rests, you get the idea. I'll burn a lot more calories doing a WOD with Squat Cleans and T2B than one with Air Squats and Sit-ups.

    Depends what you do during your crossfit session.

    (HRM is highly unlikely to be any help for strength or interval work.)
