    According to the worksheet guide for the Lesmills classes I frequent, assuming you push yourself to the max during the class, you can burn up to 560 calories in a 60 minute Body Pump session.

    It depends on you specifically. Not everyone will burn the same amount of calories. I am only 5'3" and 123lbs, and I don't burn more than 250 calories in a class. I work to the max, and I always go for the "advanced" option. Weight lifting doesn't burn a lot of calories, it has other benefits. The best way to get anything near an accurate measure would be to invest in a Heart Rate Monitor.

    Thansk Guys I got a battery for my heart rate monitor so hopefully it will act right. But it is about a year old and used 6 days a week so what do I expect.:smile:

    I put myself down for 300 - 350 per class (depending on how hard I feel I worked). That seems consistent with what other women with HRMs say. There's a guy in my Pump class who wears an HRM but burns lot more. It's a great class!

    P.S. I always underestimate what the Les Mills website says typical burn is for their classes. I figured I'd rather underestimate than overestimate since I eat my exercise calories back.
