Workouts? I do an hour using the heavy ropes, kettle bell, TRX bands, lunges with weights and some step up etc. I would consider this cardio so would I count is as circuit training?? Any thoughts would be welcome.

I would count it as circuit training.0 -
Cheers mate, that's what I figure too0

I might be wrong, but any lifting exercise that is leaving you breathing hard and sweating (like doing super-sets) I count that as circuit training. I mean if you are doing sqauts super- setted with lunges or kettlebells, you are burning calories!0

Sure felt like something was burning! Thanks.0

I'm inclined to say circuit training but it really depends on how you're stringing the moves together. When I get to banging those the things around I can barely last 30 mins or so, much less an hour0

I always put a lower number, if I lifted for an hour I will put 20 minutes circuit training. It worked for me last time I was on this site. but people who say you get no calories burned from strength training, I strongly disagree with that.0

I would multiply your body weight in kilograms by 6 or 7 and that would be close to calories per hour burned.0

I use my HRM to approximate it. I know it's not really intended for that use. Your workout sounds a lot like what I do with my trainer. She says 400 to 500 calories an hour which is right where my HRM is as well. MFPs circuit training is about 15% higher than that for me. I record and eat back 70% of those calories.
Some days my workouts are less intense and my HRM reflects that. So while I know it is off, its working for me.0 -
Oh, and the ropes damn near kill me lol0
