Step

About how many calories would an hour of step aerobics burn. I am thinking of taking a class tomorrow.

Heya Butterfly - are you being allowed to exercise more again now? That's pretty cool if you are. If not, are you going with someone?

Step Aerobics are pretty strenuous if I'm thinking of the right thing. Pretty intense cardio. You'd probably burn a fair bit in an hour which miiight be counter productive for you. x:

The top two would likely be closest.

I do a step class and can burn anywhere from 350- 600 cals during the class - it all depends on how much effort you put into it and what type of moves the instructor has us do.  Also depends on how much you weigh, age sex height ect... but it goes without saying the more you put into the class the more you'll burn out of it.

Heya lala: my mum says that this is a one off but she is pleased at how well i am doing so she dosent mind. Plus she is talking about the things she is thinking of allowing me to do when i am 'stronger'. I am going to do the lower step though and have included an extra snack for tommorrow to make up the cals as well as a protein/carb filled dinnerto help the muscles and replace the carbs.

dbackerfan: thanks for the info. I think will put it in the mid-range.
