Hi, I'm new to this site, but not Cathe's DVDs. I was wondering if anyone knew how to find out how many calories are burned on different dvds of Cathe's. Like if I did Butts & Gutts today, how many calories have I burned?
How do I calculate calories burned?

Welcome to the forums! If you log in your stats (weight, height, etc) into the workout manager, then log in the DVD you completed (calendar button in the workout manager), it will estimate how many calories you burned. Remember, this is just an estimate so the actual calories burned could be higher or lower.
The best measure is to get a heart rate monitor. You can get a relatively cheap model or opt for one with more bells & whistles; I have the Polar F6 and I love it!

The HR monitor will also be another estimate - there is no terribly accurate way to determine calories burned, but these sorts of tools will provide you with very rough estimates at least.

I was trying to figure it out on the workout manager earlier, but just wasn't seeing it. I will have to look into the HM. Thanks so much for your responses.

Exactly! I just meant it was a little more accurate since it takes into account more specifics than the WOM.
