I did a body pump class for the first time today. Unfortunately I don't have a HRM and I have no idea how to count the exercise calories. Any ideas? It definitely doesn't burn as much as running but more than lifting weights.

    I do a Les Mills Body Pump class and end up burning approximately 400 calories during the 1 hour session... hope this helps...

    Good Luck! ;)

    I do a body pump class also. I have one today. I usually do cardio before or after. I try to estimate calories. I would do as the others suggest and log it as circuit training general.

    I do Body Pump all the time. I average 400 - 450 (depending on how much weight I use). I am 5'3" and 160 lbs. Hope this helps!

    Also, try Body Combat if they offer that and you hvaen't tried it! I usually burn 600-650 in one class!!
