in Fitness and Exercise
Hi everyone. I take a class at my gym that is weight-based, but is really about LOTS and LOTS of reps. So you use mostly lighter weights, but you go forever! It gets your heart rate up for sure, but not as high as, say, a step aerobics class. So my question is, when I enter this under "cardiovascular exercise," what do I enter it as? Weightlifting seems to estimate the caloric burn a little low, given how fast-paced the class is. My heart rate is easily up around 120-140 throughout. What would you classify it as?

Thank you!

    is it body pump?

    I wore my HRM once, and I have it in my exercises as ~425 calories per 1 hour class

    They call it "Chiseled." The class description says "This muscle conditioning class will sculpt and shape your muscles. We’ll get you
    motivated to work your muscle groups, blast your body fat and sculpt lean muscle. Get ready to get chisel’d!" Which is really not a very helpful description!
