Tae Bo question

Hi everyone! I have a question about calories burned while doing Tae Bo. I've used two different calculators including the one on MFP and they both say for 45 mins based on my weight that I would burn 644 calories! That number seemed so high I wanted to double check with others to see if that was possible to burn that much doing Tae Bo. If so, that's great, but I didn't want to put it in without getting a few other opinions. Any info would be appreciated!! :flowerforyou:

    Tae Bo burns a LOT of calories. As long as you are working hard, I don't see where that number is wrong. Both calculators have generated at least 300 calories burned for me for only 20 mins of Tae Bo.

    Hey!

    I've found the same thing. I've just started doing Billy Blanks DVDs and it says that for 25 mins I would burn more than doing 1 of my 30 Day Shred workouts - which I think are harder work than the Tae Bo?!

    I'm interested in the answers for this question as I don't like to count all of those extra cals burned if I haven't really burnt them all haha.

    Wow, I used to do the billy blanks tae bo dvd, then I got really into the gym instead, but a 45 min gym session only burns about 400 calories (i don't count calories from toning equipment) might have to get back into the tae bo!
