CALORIES BURNED!

[jistbrenda]

I am wondering ,for the workout manager, when I put in the DVD I use for the day it tells me how many calories I burned for that video. example, Power hour says 700 and someting calories burned. Is that correct? If not, how do I find out how many calories I am burning for certain videos? Anyone?? Thanks Brenda

I'd say 700 calories burned during Power Hour is a very high estimate. It's been a long time since I've done Power Hour but I think the most calories I've burned is between 300 and 400 for that workout. The best way to determine how many calories you're burning is to invest in a heartrate monitor. I have a Polar one and it's one of my favorite fitness gadgets I wear it all the time because I like to know how many calories I'm burning.

Thanks. I thought it was high too. Cool, I will look on amazon for one. I just read that if you can burn 500 cal. a day you can lose 2 lbs a week. This is why I want to know how many cal. I am burning. Thanks again jacqued! Brenda
