    If it's the same as the one in my picture, about 3000 calories.

    Don't forget to subtract the pile of vomit from your diary.

    Haha, I too do a 45 min kettlebell class, in fact mine is tonight. I'm fairly new to it so I use 8kg (4kg for some of the arm ones - unfortunately there is no 6kg that would be more suitable!) we do warm up then 3 sets of 4 different exercises. We usually do each exercise for a minute then we have to do, say, 12 reps of each twice or 3 time through as fast as possible.

    OP I totally guess mine and log it as either 200-250 cals depending how hard I feel I worked. Everyone is different.

    I'm 5'8" and weigh 147lbs, I've been doing it once a week for about 2 months.

    Hi, I have just done this workout as I could not get to the gym today due to the snow. I used a 4KG kettlebell and its the first time I have done it. I was wearing a KI Fit which monitored my calorie burn whilst i was doing it and it came out at 260 calories for the 50 minute session.

    FYI I weight 70KG and I am 5ft.

    Is there a listing for dumbbells? If so just use that, KB's don't burn anymore calories than a DB or BB; it's just a different stimulus on the muscle.

    I burned 515 calories yesterday in 30 minutes with a 12K and a 16K KB. That was interspersing double hand swings, alternating swings, clean and press and turkish get ups with burpees, mountain climbers, skater jumps and alternating lunge jumps.
