how do you track the calories burned for this? I know eveyrone is different, but if u don't have a heart rate monitor, do ya just guesstimate?

  • I log it under circuit training general. I checked it against my hrm and it's pretty accurate.

    Ive been tracking it under "curves circuit training" as the circuit general seemed a bit high!
    maybe I need to get a HRM what kind of price are they?
  • I paid about $30 for mine on amazon.

    I have a HRM and I burn around 250-260 for each level 1 session - which is around about the same burns for my walking workouts - they are 60 minutes long and I burn around 500 cals

    I use the general arobics at 25 min. It's 248 cal. So about the same as the circut training one.

    Thanks for the information. I ordered a HRM from Walmart, but it hasn't arrived. I estimated that I burned about 5 calories a minute. I have been underestimating my calories.

    the 1st 2 days i used Calisthenics vigorous, today it occurred to me to look at circuit training general. Both came really close to what my HRM read.
  • You'll be surprised to see how many calories you are really burning once you get a hrm! I love mine!
