Calories during Cardio Kickboxing?

Hi Everyone,

I don't have a HRM so I'm hoping someone can give me an estimate of how many calories you would burn during a 45 minute cardio kickboxing class? MFP says about 563, but I'm going to say that is WAY too high. Any other suggestions?

Depends on how hard you are working. I take a Turbo Kick class that is 45 minutes and burn about 550-600. I am working super hard, pouring sweat, don't miss a beat, etc. So yes, it can be done.

You'll need a HRM. Sorry. It's going to be different for everyone...and different even for you, from day to day. There is no set number or range we can give you that will be accurate.

I agree with @abkeeling. You need a HRM. I had to save up for mine. It was well worth it. Skinny girls next to me were burning 800 - 1000 calories or more so I assumed I was too. I was even working harder than them.
For whatever reason I was only burning 400 to 600 calories at the most. I was eating some of calories burned and not losing the weight.

The HRM told me exactly what my heart rate was and how many calories I was burning. Now I've started to lose the weight.

I burn almost 700 in 1 hr Kickboxing if I keep up on all the hopping and jacks in between moves. And I'm 150. It's an incredible workout! Only burn about 500 if I slack on the jacks though and let my HR lower.

Thanks everyone. I'm hoping Santa leaves me a HRM under the tree
