Hey there...anyone have a rough idea of cals burned during a 15 min kettlebell circuit for someone approx. 130lbs?

(HAHA...rough idea, but that was pretty specific, huh??)

    I log mine as circuit training as Kb isn't in the database. It'll vary for everyone given their fitness level, intensity and how heavy the bell is. I believe the livestrong site said the average is about 9 cal per min...

    Hope you enjoyed the workout. I love kettlebells.

    Probably not much, but wearing a HRM during the exercise would get you in the ball park.

    ...using 10 & 15lb kb's. There, even more specific lol.

    I'll keep the 10 cal/hour in mind. Thank you!!

    I ussually burn about 300 calories during a 15 minute session. That said, the benefit of a HIIT kettlebell workout is not from the calories burned during the session, it's the calories your body burns during the rest of that day bringing itself back to the resting state. Basically increasing your metabolism. Hope this info helps.
