Our Fitmate had a high calorie burn at Bootcamp this morning. After 60 minutes of high intensity exercise, he managed to burn 800 calories. An awesome effort after allowing for the warm up and cool down/stretching components.

Thanks to his heart rate monitor, it gave a fair indication of the total energy burnt during the Bootcamp taking into account his age, weight, height and maximum heart rate.

If you’re looking at a way to measure your fitness, try the beep test.

The last time one of our Fitmates burnt 800 calories, they wanted to know if it was ok to eat 3 Mars Bars as they contained the equivalent amount of calories (energy).

The main thing for achieving weight loss is balancing energy intake verses energy expenditure. Once you have it skewed more towards the energy that you burn, you are well on your way to achieving your weight loss goals
