How many calories should I log in for an hour of CrossFit?

how many for an hour of hot yoga?

Thanks!

    The calories burned is going to be different for everyone. The most accurate way to know how many calories burned is to get a HRM and wear it during your workout. I have the Polar FT40 with chest strap and it has been great! Last night I did crossfit for 25 minutes and burned 358 calories. It was intense. For hot yoga I dont know, but I do 60-90 minute classes of Vinyasa Flow yoga. I burn about 220-250 calories in an hour for that class. It will vary depending on who teaches it and how much you are actually doing.

    Like I said it will be different for everyone so you shouldn't necessarily go by what I do. I'm 27 years old, 126 pounds, 5 ft 2in for your reference. I would really think about getting a HRM if you are serious about logging calories. It really is the only accurate way to know.

    Hope this helped! Good luck!

    For a general idea you could log it as circut training here on MFP. It won't be 100% accurate though. The only real way to know is to get a HRM.
