Hello! Just back from my very first body pump class...OMG! Never felt anything like this before and found it way harder than my spin class which I suppose isn't weight bearing...... does any of you lovely peeps out there know how to put this into my exercise entry? I did loads of bar work etc but have no idea what the moves were called :(

Thanks in advance Rx

    When I do stuff like that, I wear a HRM to measure my calories burned and just enter is as circuit training.

    Yeah you pretty much need a HRM to know exactly what you burn. I know I've been doing it for months and my typical burn is 300ish calories... not at all the 500 calories it's 'supposed' to burn.

    I used to add it under cardio as strength training for 60 mins about 434 calories. I now use a BodyMedia Fit Link which gives me much more accuracy. When I started at about 319lbs it was over 480 calories, now at 239 I'm about at 380 calories a session.

    Keep going, its a great work out :) Just have to find the right weight selection and keep pushing yourself.

    Heya,

    If you type in Les Mills Bodypump under Cardio, it should pop up! :) The estimated calorie burn is about 292 for 60 minutes but this varies greatly across individuals.
