how many calories burned in body pump class
The group (10 men and women) burned an average of 411 calories during the Body Pump session, and 483 and 339 when separated into men and women. This comes to 7 calories per minute for the group, and 8 and 6 calories per minute for the men and women, respectively. Taking the results from both studies, women can expect to burn anywhere between 5-6 calories per minute during a typical Body Pump class. Men will burn somewhere between 6 and 8 calories per minute.
On average, the subjects burned 5.3 calories per minute. A second trial, this time commissioned (i.e. paid for) by the Les Mills Group (the people who invented Body Pump), compared a Body Pump session lasting 57 minutes with 60 minutes of continuous cycling.
