What’s your calorie burn?
If you are interested in weight management and cardiovascular health, try wearing a heart-rate monitor during active times (like housework!) and fitness classes. Here’s some of the data I collected over the last several days and what I observed:
When I lead an active Hatha Flow Yoga class, calories burn!! 270 calories in 75 minutes.
When I take other teachers’ flow classes, I burn 30 – 50% fewer calories. Hmm. I think our styles are different.
Personal Data Collected:
- Fitness Barre Class, 60 minutes, 248 calories
- Slow Flow Yoga, 75 minutes, 92 calories
- Hatha Flow Yoga, 75 minutes, 90 calories
- Kids Yoga with me, 45 minutes, 148 calories
- Hatha Flow Yoga with me, 75 minutes, 270 calories
- Stationary bike, 30 minutes, 130 calories
