Hi,
I am new to this thing. I am currently taking Body Bump twice a week now and I pretty much use just 2.5lbs and 5lbs depending on the type of muscle we work on. I sweat like crazy which I am told is a good thing. My current weight is 185 and I am 5'3 1/2. I would like to know if there is a website that can count the calories.

    I wore a HRM in a few Body Pump classes and burned about 400 calories an hour. But maybe it was different as it was barbells. There were no 2.5 or 5 lbs. weights, or do you mean you put 5-10 lbs. on the bar? Plus I was about 40 lbs. lighter than you, so your's could be much higher.
  • At my gym the weights average from 2.5lbs, 5lbs, and 10lbs. They are weight plates that you put on the bar itself. And my weight is actually 182 had a typo. HRM would that also count for as a BODYBUG? I am actually going to buy one soon.
