Figuring out exercise calories

Im fairy new and so far only have been doing walking which is easy to calculate. I have a variety of exercise videos I would also like to start using, Slim in 6, Zumba, etc. I was wondering how to calculate the calories on these. Should I just use "General Aerobics" category? Some of these involve resistance training and not all cardio. What is everyone else doing to calculate these? Thanks

Most people use Heart Rate Monitors. Those are going to give you the most accurate count. Polar is a popular brand.0
