Low Max and calories burned

Approximately how many calories do you burn when you do Low Max in entirety? I'm guessing about 300. Am I wrong?
 
Your guess is actually way off! Some people here assure that low max is the best calorie burner Cathe has done so far; they claim 700+ calories burned using an 8" step and giving it your all.
 
LowMax is a real burner!!! I burned 557 calories according to my HRM the last time I did it. This is in comparison to MIC, which is also a 70 minute w/o like LowMax, where I burned 586 calories. The intensity of MIC especially it's hi/lo portion seems so higher than LowMax but the calorie burn isn't much different. Compare also with the Gauntlet of the Terminator DVD at 522.

I use only one set of risers.
 
Mattia - Wow! I hadn't read all the way through that thread. The info on calories burned is great. Thanks! That just upped my preference for Low Max another notch - though it is pretty high already!
 
It will vary from person to person based upon height and weight. I usually burn around 400-455. I'm 5' and 115lbs.

Lowmax is GREAT! Fun, fun, fun--calorie burner, killer music, and fire in the thighs! LOL:+ I love this workout for many reasons, but mostly for its intensity coupled with the low impact when my joints need a break:p
