Question about MET values

[Diane15]

Hi Cathe & anyone else who may know:
I apologize if this has been addressed already, but when you select a DVD in the workout manager, it gives the MET value. This is probably a stupid question and one for which I should already know the answer, but could you explain what this is?
Thanks,
Diane

Mets are used to calculate calories burned. All activities are given an intensity value called a "Met". A met value of 3 means you're burning three times the amount of calories as you would at rest.
