How Many Classes to Burn 1 Pound of Fat?

Based on the general fitness principle that 1 pound of fat equals approximately 3,500 calories, here's how many classes it would take to burn one pound:

Class Type Avg. Calories per Class Classes Needed for 1 Pound
Kids MMA (Tinys) 100 35 classes
Kids MMA (6-10) 200 18 classes
Kids MMA (Pre-teens) 250 14 classes
