Hi everyone,

I am hoping for some help. Did 90 min today and wore my Polar HRM but it only showed I burned 200 calories and didn't even get above a HR of 118. So I am thinking due to all of the sweat, it must have malfunctioned.

Should I just log the 200 calories or is there another way to get a reasonable estimate.

J

    200 calories for hot Baptiste yoga??? isn't that a form of power yoga? what i've been reading is that power yoga burns anywhere from 350 - 450 calories an hour. which depends on the routine, of course, and your fitness level, but still i can't imagine a 90 minute baptiste routine burning less than 350. no way.
