Sooo I just looked up calories burned for Tae Kwon Do on MFP.

It basically states 100 cals per 10 mins. That can't be right. I feel like 100 cals would be if it was a completely non-stop 10 mins, but there is instruction and resting and cooldowns...

Maybe I'm making this too difficult, but 50 minutes of Tae Kwon Do tonight can't possibly burn 500 calories...can it?

Maybe I just need to suck it up and buy a HRM.

    I estimate how much time we spend working vs. listening and watching. Some classes, we work the whole hour non-stop. Other classes, we might work only 45 minutes of the hour.
