Sandbag training

I have seen several post from people training with sandbags and am wanting to supplement my Cage Fitness with sandbag training. I've a sandbag for about 3 years now and it currently weighs 62lbs. So if I use this bag, and do 5 exercises x 5 with a rest between each 'round' I'm thinking this would be a good thing.

My question is, has anyone figured out how many calories this would burn?

Thanks in advance.

    Best suggestion is probably getting a heart rate monitor and wear it while you work out.

    The only real way to know is to wear a heart rate monitor. MFP will estimate it for you under the CARDIO section...search for "strength" but that isn't going to be as accurate as an HRM.

    No clue about calories, but you can bet it would be a butt load. Excellent way to burn some major calories.

    Thanks all, never even thought about my heart rate monitor and I bought a new one about a month ago.
