Boot Camp

Hello!
I am finally back on here and tracking my food and wearing my Fitbit. Tonight I am taking a fitness boot camp class and wondered how that can be tracked/added in on here?
Also, does anyone have a suggestion for when I'm on my treadmill. Should I wear the fitbit and count it as steps or count it as just walking on the treadmill?
Thanks!
Sharon

hi Sharon,
I'd log boot camp as "circuit training" in the cardio database - assuming it's one of those awful, sweat-pouring, I kinda want to die classes that I'm familiar with, it's a pretty high calorie burn. Circuit training might be a small underestimate but it will be in the ballpark.
In my experience, fitbit tracks walking really reliably so I personally would just use fitbit's calculations for treadmill walking.
