yoga calories burn
do you guys feel the calories calculated in mfp? i think the number is more accurate if it's a hatha class.. but how about a hot yoga class? or power yoga? i do hot and power classes almost everyday (2 classes).. and it gives me only about 260 calories for 2 hrs of yoga.. what do you guys think? thanks!
