Hi. I've been exercising on the treadmill each day, which allows me to see the amount of calories I have burned. Although I would like to mix it up with the one active Michelle Bridges dumbbells workout DVD, but have no idea how many calories are used, therefore unsure what to log in. Would appreciate any suggestions.

    Get a heart rate monitor! If you want one that works well and is on the cheaper side, look for the Polar FT4 on Amazon.

    Even though it to is an estimate, I would suggest investing in a heart rate monitor. I use a Polar FT60 for all my cardio (swimming, treadmill, etc) and it gets me a more accurate number..... Best of Luck
