    When you enter your exercise for the day you will put what you did and how long you did it. Once it is entered I think you will get a note saying you burned whatever amount of calories today. At the bottom of the food list it will say you earned --extra amount of calories today! Good luck..

    there is a site called calories per hour.com which has a pretty wide variety of excercises you could look up and probably get apretty good estimate of the calories you are burning.

    I have a variety of dvds that are mostly dance-based for cardio and I just enter them as aerobics in my log (the MFP database has both high and low impact aerobics listed) so I choose one of those. This gives you a ballpark figure at least.

    i'm telling ya... if you have a playstation, go for DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION

    okay it may seem silly but there are settings in there that have a workout mode.

    This allows you to put in your height, weight and age info,

    A routine goes up and you're able to get a work out for any amount of time you set it for.

    It also lets you know how many claories you have lost.

    I brought my system out the other day and it was great. :smile:
