Hi there, I just did my first bodypump class after being retired lol, my question is to anyone that might now, how man calories are approximately burned during an hour class? I am not sure how to log this in my exercise log. Please help.

    I log Bodypump as a strength exercise so I don't get any extra cals for it however I believe it falls more into muscle endurance making it more along the lines of an aerobic class than lifting in the gym. I used to wear an HRM to BodyPump years ago and seem to remember burns in the region of 400 to 500 cals, unfortunately I no longer have my HRM so haven't measured recently. I do a ton of exercise so figure that not counting Bodypump gives me a buffer for the times that MFP is over generous with the exercise cals but ideally measuring all your burns with an HRM would be best. :-)

    I log mine under circuit training general. I also push myself pretty hard. I am always trying to up my weights! If you want to play it on the safe side only log it as 50 mins instead of 60. That way you take out the cooldown and ab work.

    Definitely an HRM would benefit you! I do Les Mills Pump at home and love it... However I wear my HRM, that way I get an exact amount on my calories burned! Good luck!
