Im taking a 45 min spin/cycle class for beginner/intermediates and im wondering how I can tell how many calories im buring during that class, also I have a hr monitor- is there a way based on my heart rate to find the calories burned???
i have a heart rate monitor -i said that above, how do i tell from that?
does anyone here take spin classes, how do you think its better or worse than tredmill- same time & distance & all??
Get a heart rate monitor – that's the most accurate way to tell.
You can also try www.caloriesperhour.com which will tell you how many calories you can burn doing certain exercises, but it's just a guesstimate based on your height/weight/age. HRM is the way to go. I have a Polar F6 and love it.

That's a good question. You know how they have pedometers for walking? I saw in the store recently that they have the same for biking. It should also be able to tell you how many calories you lose in that time as well.
