How many calories am I burning?

Does anyone know how to figure the amount of calories you're actually burning when you do, say, the Cardio Kicks workout? I did that one last night and, as you know, it's a tough workout. And do I burn as many calories doing a workout like this as opposed to running for an hour? I'm just trying to get a handle on how many calories I burn when I work out. (Like, did I burn up the brownie calories I consumed earlier in the day?) Thanks for any info you can share!
 
I don't know if anyone will have the response for cardio kicks for you but I did see on another posting a website that you can go into that will tell you how many calories you burn during activites...www.caloriesperhour.com.
Hope this helps,

Hey, cool website! Thanks Lori! One hour of high-impact aerobics for an old lady my age burns 385 calories. When I selected kickboxing it says it burns 551 calories! (As opposed to repairing an airplane, which burns only 165.) Hmm. Very interesting!
 
You could also get a heart rate monitor which calculates the calories burned during your workout. I do not own one of these and do not know how accurate they are. I think you do have to input a lot of personal information (age, wt, gender, etc) so it can calculate/estimate calories burned.
