No hot yoga?

estiliasister · November 2018

Hi, brand new here. On my 2nd day and wanted to add hot yoga but I could not find it anywhere. I tried to add the exercise but I would need to know how many calories burned and I have no idea what that would be. Can someone help?
Thanks!

The calories burned will be different for everyone depending on age, sex, weight.
The calories given in the database for most exercises here seem to be grossly overestimated anyway for me when compared to my activity tracker and personal data.
Some suggest only eating a fraction of the calories given for exercise from mfp due to the gross overestimation of calories burned.
It's one of those things that is sometimes best worked out with trial and error and takes time and accurate and consistent logging to estimate your calories burnt.

Just use the database entry for Yoga. The extra heat does nothing except make you sweat more. You do not burn more calories (although it can help prevent muscle soreness in some).

The MFP database tends to overestimate calories so either do not eat all of them back or enter less time than you actually worked out. Personally, I enter 2/3 of the time (for example my 1 hour water aerobics class gets entered as 40 minutes.
