Core Synergy + Bikram = 1047 calories.
Today was the first day this week in which I attempt to hit a special class at the gym. And I have to say, I chose very wisely.
Today's class was Core Synergy. It's a mix of pilates and balancing, done on a few Bosu balancing tools. The teacher, Emily was awesome. I had taken a few yoga classes with her in the past, and her energy just radiates from her so strongly... You always have a good class with her!
The class itself was tough, and really required you lock down your pelvic muscles and keep good alignment - which work the core. If you didn't lock the pelvic muscles or keep aligned, you would fall over.
I burned 237 calories in the class, which I think is pretty good. There was no cardio... It was all working the muscles. So I think anything over 200 for that is pretty good. Afterwards, I went to Bikram and burned another 810 calories in 90 minutes.
Two and a half hours of exercise, and over 1000 calories? Not bad!
