I don't have one and I'm wondering how much everyone else is burning. I know they say on average 600 calories per 1 hr workout - but I'm curious if anyone has used a heart rate monitor/calorie counter what they are getting. I'm 5'3, 124 lbs.

I'm 178lbs at 5'10 and burn on average 600-700 calories, so the 600 estimate they give in the nutrition guide is pretty spot on for me. You're much smaller though so I don't know if this helps you at all.0

I'm not doing it but my husband is and he is 6.2 and about 225lbs - he burns around 1000 (but he isn't in great shape yet so I think he'll burn less in a month or so)0

I'm 5'2 168lbs....I burn, depending on which dvd, on average between 350-550. The most I've ever burned was week 1, day 5 (Lean program) on Legs & Back + Ab Ripper X, 663 cals. I have been keeping a record of my daily workouts and cals burned, so on average it's been about 450 cals.0

I would not go by the 600 as everyone is different. A woman that is in very good shape may only burn 400 while a man in okay shape may burn 800. It depends on things such as fitness level, intensity, weight, age, gender, etc.0
