CALORIE BURN AND BEYOND

We’re constantly asked how many calories you burn in various LES MILLS workouts. The fact is, while you can put a number on it, looking beyond calorie burn is often the best approach.

There are a myriad of different training styles out there, and they all offer different benefits. While some workouts will burn maximum calories in a short space of time, others build strength and lean muscle which enables you to sustainably burn calories for longer periods. Some workouts are simply designed to be fun – so you burn calories without even noticing.

Les Mills BODYPUMP

During a BODYPUMP™ workout you’ll raise your heart rate and increase calorie burn, but more importantly you’ll strengthen, shape and tone your entire body. While people can burn up to 560 calories* during a 55-minute BODYPUMP workout, it’s the building of lean muscle mass that provides the long-term benefits. By building lean muscle mass you increase your body’s ability to effectively burn calories in the long term as the extra muscle will raise your metabolism.
