Calories burned

[RC16]

Hi Cathe,
How do you determine the amount of calories burned for each exercise in the workout manager? I assume that everybody burns differently.

Any thoughts? Anyone?

Have you set yourself up on the Workout Manager? Your profile there will include your TDEE. Try that & see if that helps, but all the DVDs & exercise modes are assigned a MET value. Depending on the duration you will get you amt of kcals burned.

Do you have a heart rate monitor? HRMs show you how many calories you burned during your workout. I have a Polar FT40 and I love it.

I do have a heartrate monitor. It is a sportline. I have the one that comes with the chest strap. It is a bit frustrating to operate. I just don't know how accurate those things are.
