    I put 250 calories-
    I am 1/4 inch taller than you-
    so basically the same height
    and almost 140 lbs.

    250 is most likely low, but safe.

    Good luck!

    I am around 121lb, 5'7" (very fit), and my HR monitor told me I burned 245.

    Believe it or not the teacher matters at my gym.. Some move you along really quickly and I can burn 400 calories..
    Others are slower and I burn 250-350.....

    I use really heavy squat and chest weight and lower after that. I am 5 ft 7 170 lb male

    my wife and another woman can burn up to 400 calories with this release.. both are 5ft 3 and about 130lbs

    i use my hrm and i burn between 500 and 600 a session... if you guys burn around 300-400 maybe its time to up the weights.

    also In the brochure by Les Mills about BODYPUMP it says you can burn up to 600 calories a class. As the others have said though, a lot depends on who you are!

    I am 5.3 150 lbs and I average anywhere from 400 to 500 cal per class. I am using my Polar HRM. I think it is accurate..sometimes when I stop during tracks or take longer breaks the number of calories is usually on the lower end. However if I do work my *kitten* off until my legs are shaking, I burn 500 cal.
