I do a pilates video at least 3 times a week, and i can't find anything comprable in MFP to count the cals burned. Its a pretty difficult exercise...you use your abs to hold yourself in difficult positions, etc. How many calories do you think 30 minutes of pilates burns?

    30 minutes of Pilates for me was just under 200 calories

    Here is a good article referring to the research conducted by Michele Olson, Ph.D at the American College of Sports Medicine. Depending on the intensity of your workout the calories vary. But, for an intermediate level it's about 90 calories for every 15 minutes.

    Pilates is in the database under cardio. For me it only burns about 52 cals per video though.
