Gin Miller's Kettlebell workout DVD

I have looked everywhere for a general idea of calories burned during a kettlebell workout. My Danskin Kettlebell came with Gin Miller's dvd and I sweat my *kitten* off ! I got a cheapy HRM :ohwell: and It is accurate with beats per minute but I cant believe I burned 696 cal with a 54 minute workout. :noway: I know from reading other posts on here that heart rate doesn't necessarily equate to calorie expenditure. I just bought the thing out of curiosity. :indifferent: Anyone else workout with kettlebells? Have any idea of cal burned?

I believe that you can burn that many calories in 54 minutes, when I do my cardio kickboxing class for 50 minutes I sometimes burn almost 800!!

I just bought this same thing and on the website it says this: "Calories Burned?
This workout is dynamic strength training that works many muscle groups all at once and also provides a cardio benefit when using the major muscles of the lower body. We use a 10kcal per minute to estimate the calories burned as a general guideline, but results will vary depending on how hard you work and the amount of weight you are using."

You can easily burn that many calories doing a Kettlebell workout! Each time you pick up that Kettlebell you are working your whole body!
Also doing something like Insanity I can burn around 600 calories in the 45 minutes or so! So I would bet your HRM is right if it is taking your HR all the time. My problem is mine stops working so I don't trust is anymore but of course that makes my calorie burn way lower!
