Hello,
I am having a hard time knowing how many calories are burned in a fitness DVD. How do you determine how many calories are burned?

    This is a good question I would like to know too. SO far I have just been googleing each DVD to see what others have said and going by that.

    You can get a good sense by how you are breathing.

    If you can talk in full sentences or sing then you are at a low level.
    If you can only get out 3 or 4 words at a time, then you are at a mid level
    If you can barely get out 1 or 2 words then you are at a high level.

    Then based on your weight you can determine how many calories you are burning.

    Or you can use a heart rate monitor.

    Heart Rate Monitor; still not perfect but better than using some random calorie burn from the data base.
