Moderate vs Vigorous Activity

[dr.mel_PT]

I'm trying to determine how many calories I should eat to lose weight. The problem I'm having is figuring out whether my workout schedule is vigorous or moderate? I have a sedentary job so most of the exercise I get is through my workouts. Here is what a typical week looks like for me:

Mon: IMAX 1, 2 or 3 + 12 min abs
Tues: STS & KPC cardio (no abs)
Wed: Rhythmic Step + 12 min abs
Thurs: STS & 40 min Tae Bo
Fri: Lo Max + 12 min abs
Sat: STS & a low impact dance video (40 min)
Sun: rest day

TIA!!

This constitutes a vigorous amount of activity. Presumably, you do spend some time during the day walking about, doing general housework, lifting groceries into the house, etc.
