Suggestion on how to use this information:
|
|
When calculating calories burned for a 55 minute exercise class consider these factors:
intensity - how hard are you working; range of motion - large muscle exercises burn
more calories than small muscle exercises; speed - slow, low intensity vs fast higher
intensity. The harder you work the more you burn!
|
|
|
|
Remember the harder you work the more calories burned.
