How do you work out calories for HIT?

marielouisehilton

Hello,

Please can you give me some advice...

I am just wondering how you work out calories burned when you're doing interval training? Today I did 30:60 intervals and did 12 intervals. I looked on the exercise database but couldn't see what to put down. My intervals were a mix of jumping jacks and different jump rope moves, and my 60 seconds were marching using arms. Sometimes I plan to do my intervals as jogging and running fast but this morning as I am away with work I was in a hotel so had to improvise.

As part of my exercise plan I am mixing it in with days running at a steady pace for longer distances (I do my first 10k run for charity in May), horse riding and pilates and strength training.

Any help greatly appreciated, thank you )

PS can I just say I think the community on this site is great, really supportive and loads of helpful advice when you're struggling with motivation, thanks everyone!
