    Get Yourself a heart Monitor and it will show you what you are burning.

    Cardio circuits and interval are great calorie burn. 30 minutes of a med to high intensity cardio routine will burn that. It is about keeping yourself moving. Add short breaks but keep up your heart rate to the right levels.

    110 Jumping Jacks: about 2-4 minutes of exercise: 30-50 calories depending on body weight

    110 crunches: maybe 20

    60 squats: without weight, 30-40.

    A kettlebell workout will easily burn that---I did about 10 minutes and burned 100 cals. You can get a kettlebell with the workout DVD at WalMart for about $16. Zumba and dancing also help me burn cals quickly too--about 15 minutes to burn 100.

    This is a little more accurate way to tell how many calories you are burning without a HRM (which is the closest estimate you wil get)..... it works for most people!!!

    Rate your level of effort 1-10 and that's how many calories you burn per minute. Sleeping is 1 cal per minute, running from a bear is 10!

    I burn on average 6-8calories a min, sometimes nine and maybe a 10 when im running the hardest i can (like running from a bear) and i can only keep that pace up for 1-2mins max!!! I always do this at the end of a run just to push myself that extra mile!!!

    So say it takes you 5 mins to do 110 Jumping Jacks..... then you are looking at around 30-45calories max if it takes you longer than maybe a little more!!!! Same would be true of crunches but your not exerting as much energy soooo if it took you 5mins to do 110crunches you would have burned about 20-35calories!!! You will need to be honest with yourself about how hard you are working on each exercise to be able to judge this way, again a HRM will give you a closer estimate!!!

    I wear my HRM when I clean the house and I usually get between 100-200 calories from doing my daily cleaning.
