Is it really possible to burn 200+ calories doing an hour of Yoga?? That just seems high to me. I mean, yeah the positions are tough to hold, but not that hard.

    It really is possible. I use a HRM and when I do the whole hour I am usually between 200 and 230. I don't feel like I work as hard as a cardio workout until I feel my shoulders and abs the next day. I think you are good! :smile:

    Any idea about cals burned doing Pilates? If i use the MFP tool its calculating about 60 cals per 30 mins, I feel like I am burning MORE then that!! Might be time to invest in a HRM!

    I finally got a HRM and I do Yoga after Zumba and I burn 255 cals. I think it's possible and like the other person said, my shoulders, abs and hamstrings are always sore.
