Hi All, I've set myself a fitness goal... I've decided to get back into Netball...

I'm training Mondays 6-8, approx 80-90 minutes of training the rest is warm up cool down kinda things.

But I cannot find Netball in the exercises, any ideas what sort of calories I'm burning or what I can record this as when I'm training...

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated xx

    Try listing it as basketball - Netball isnt played in USA so most people here will have no idea what your talking about!

    Also - just remember that this is an estimate - no matter what you list it as, its not going to be 100% right.

    And congrats for getting back into it! Its such a fun game!! Too cold here in Canberra for me lol.

    I play netball and I've created a new exercise named netball with the same calories as basketball. I use either that or just basketball :)
    You may want to also increase/decrease the amount of calories you burn depending on which position you play; I play either goal keeper or goal defence so burn a lot less than if i was playing centre.

    Good luck!!! netball's an amazing game :D

    Glad you enjoyed it! 4 quarters of WA will certainly wear you out, so much running! Good on you for finding something fun and enjoyable for exercise - that's half the battle!!!
