I've seen lots of different calorie burn estimates on the 'net. Just looking for a typical calorie burn for logging on MFP.

My typical session comprises all the basic swings, clean and presses and also Turkish Get-Ups, and some calisthenics in between KB sets like burpeess, mountain climbers, skating, rope jumps to keep the pulse rate up.

250 for 30 minutes?

edit: changed 300 to 250 calories, last line.

    This completely depends on your stats - what I burn as a 5'3, 150lb female won't apply to you.

    Ah OK - male, 5'3", currently 163 fat overweight and ideally I guess around 140 lean, age 53 and good cardio.

    I always logged it as circuit training, because I hardly rested.

    Maybe log it in as 'circuit training' and that'll cover it.

    HRM not relevant to HIIT, but thanks.

    I'll look at circuit training and input as I find, thanks.

    OK, not a good idea. Well, I'm just saying, it's not en exact science, the whole calorie counting thing. A lot of variables in every number, so pretty much any number, food or exercise, is an estimate. What is amazing though is that it still works.

    That's true.
