Circuit training

Options
So I tried the Planet Fitness 30-minute circuit training thing today. While I know I'm both fat and out of shape, and the circuit kicked my butt, MFP's cardio tracker says I burned more than 500 calories in 30 minutes! That can't possibly be true, can it?

    Yes, it absolutely can. I used to do a "boot camp" which consisted of primarily circuit training, and we'd burn about 800 calories in 45-50 minutes. And time would go by really fast, which was awesome.
