How many calories for Body pump?

Hello my fellow EBBers!,

I was just wondering if anyone knows what I should put when I do a body pump class (weights class). I can't seem to find anything similar when I search the exercise list. It says on the Les Mills website that you burn up to 560 calories per class (although I would probably put something a bit lower as that amount is probably for the super fit people lol). So any ideas how to put this in the exercise part?

Thanks!! :)

    Hi dejaca

    I've guessed and used the Strength Training which I'm sure underestimates the amount of calories burnt. Same for BodyJam, I use dancing.

    I figure that estimating less is better than over estimating but would love it if there was more accurate choices for us.

    Thanks Dejay, I found a strength training one which was 205 calories for an hour so will put that. I think I would have burnt more than that but like you would rather under estimate it than over estimate it :)
