Calorie Burn during Cardio Kickboxing

From Apex’s Daily Q & A:

Q – I participate in a high level kickboxing cardio program.  The kickboxing center claims they have done research and you can burn up to 800 calories in a workout.  My bodybugg shows about 300 calories per workout.  Can you actually burn 800 calories in a workout??

As a Fit Pro, I get asked questions like this all the time.  Most of the time you’ll find that the research done when these studios report numbers is done by men, men with large muscles… Men burn more then women do, and the more muscle you have the more calories you burn….. therefore, the numbers that they are going to report are going to be higher then what the average jane or joe will experience!
