Hey guys! So I just started taking a body barre class at a local yoga studio..but I wasn't sure how many calories I burn during the class..or even if it's really considered cardio? Any thoughts?

    Depends on the class! Some don't include very much movement, just smaller isometric movements, so you could log it as strength training, but most of the barre workouts I do are higher intensity, more kicks, lots of plies and leg lifts and thus I log them as ballet/dance.

    I log it as strength training. I've just started and the classes I've attended so far are not really high intensity. but I do like it. It is something different and a challenge.
