Hello everyone :)
I do a one hour Kettlebell class a week but I have no idea how to log this. I don't know how much I burn so I can't even put in the calories.
Its a fairly intensive class and it really does challenge me. I love it

Any ideas? Does anyone else do a kettlebell class?

    Hi,

    I have been doing kettle bells recently and used my HRM, they are generally pretty low burns as its more about strength (even thought the heart rate does go up) I burned approx 135 cals in 15 minutes. It will depend on your weight and height etc but dont let the low burns put you off doing it as they are very good.

    I guess it depends on the class, but I take a Kettlebell Cardio class (tough class) and the instructor says that you can expect to burn about 20 cal/minute. His class does have the cardio in it, so that ups the burn.

    Thanks for all the replies :) I am very new at this site and I am loving it so far.

    I will talk to my instructor tomorrow and see what she has to say:)
