OK, I do not have an HRM (too expensive for me)....now I'm doing a class at the gym today after work called step circuit....now what would I log that as? Its a 50min class....and if you use one of the raised step things what the lowest height? 6-8 inches?? Thanks!!!

    I know the Step Circuit at LA Fitness (where I go) you burn according to there website roughly 500 calories for that hour and thats based off 150lb person. So if you just take 3.33 x your weight you get your calories burned. If the intensity level is higher then your burn will be higher but I'm not sure how to calculate that :)


    Only way to know 100% though is the HRM (which I'm saving up for myself :smile: )
    Hope this helps
