Hi all - I have recently started a pure barre class, Classic, which lasts 50 minutes and is a full body workout. My question is I do not have a clue how to record that in here...anyone know?

    I use cardio for Barre classes.

    Barre Is definitely not cardio, at least not the way my gym logs it. It's a sister class in the genre of pilates/yoga/stretch.

    But still I have no idea how to record it---it has to be burning some calories I am soaking wet with sweat head to toe by the end and can barely move afterwards lol

    Sweat isn’t the best indicator of calorie burn. Barre is generally a conditioning class so, unless you’re leaping around the room a lot, I’d be inclined to log it at the same level as Pilates mat work.

    For what it’s worth, my Fitbit reports I burn a similar amount for Barre as gentle Yoga or Pilates, even though many of my less frequently used muscles are screaming by the end of the class.
