Day 7: Not As Bad.

Today marks one full week of Bikram. I seem to have a lot of energy after class today. My muscles were tired, and gave out in certain poses... But overall, I had a really good class. I didn't burn as many calories in today's class, but then, that's not the point of going to class for me. :)

But, just for fun, here is a day-by-day count of how many calories I burned in each class:

1. Burned 638 calories.
   
2. Burned 643 calories.
   
3. Burned 813 calories.
   
4. Burned 710 calories.
   
5. Burned 701 calories.
   
6. Burned 658 calories.
   
7. Burned 540 calories.
   

So in total, I spent 10.5 hours and burned 4,703 calories in my Bikram practice this week. It seems like days when my heart rate skyrockets and I have a tough class, I tend to burn more calories. And the days where I have a good class, I burn less.

So I guess the better shape I am in (in terms of being rested and hydrated) before the class, the fewer calories I burn.
