Right now I am counting 250 calories per hour on light days which is lots on instruction, 400 calories on medium which has some kihon and kata with other instruction and 500 on heavy kihon, I am being conservative with my estimates.

2019 reps - dojo tradition to do this as the first practice of the year . As Sensei says "2019 opportunities to correct your form". Its not high intensity. I counted it as 250 calories to be conservative.

How many calories do you think I burned doing 2019 Oizuki?

I am practicing Shotokan - I have been doing it for a year and half. I burn about 350-400 calories doing an elliptical at the gym for 30 mins so I can use that to gauge intensity at practice

30 lbs is my initial goal - looking to do it in six months. If successful see if i can keep it going
