    I did some pilates today for about 10 mins- it was mostly mat work but I logged it as stretching/hatha yoga.

    I did I pilates/ yoga video today. It is half standing and half mat work. The video is 45 mins long. I wasn't sure what to put it under so I logged it as stretching/hatha yoga.

    I also log it as "Stretching, hatha yoga" that is in the database.

    I do Pilates and I use "Mild Stretching" under the Cardiovascular section. Hope that helps! :)

    If you are doing vinyasa, ashtanga or power yoga, then the calorie burn is higher. I weigh 130 pounds and burn 400 cals p/h doing vinyasa/ashtanga yoga. If this is what you're doing, add it to your exercise database as vinyasa and the above. It will be a rough estimate but better than calories burned during stretching/hatha yoga, which is gentler and requires more holding poses. Vinyasa gets your heart moving faster.
