    I burn anywhere from 350-560 cals. I highly suggest a HRM

    It really depends on the person, but this is a general idea. Best bet is a HRM.

    I agree. Yet, if you do not have one use this link:

    Compared to the HRM, the calorie count is pretty accurate

    I have found it is somewhere in the 350-600 range except for Plyometrics which is over 800 for me

    I averaged in the 400's for most of the videos... but to jump on the bandwagon, definitely get a HRM if you can... you may run a program one day in the 300's... and the next time spike closer to 600...

    It depends on your gender, height, weight, resting heart rate, and especially how hard you work in the workout. I recommend purchasing a heart rate monitor. That's what I did, and here are some examples of my burns:

    Chest & Back and Ab Ripper X:
    70 minutes 409 calories burned
    65 minutes 283 calories burned

    Plyometrics:
    56 minutes 383 calories burned
    60 minutes 429 calories burned
    63 minutes 489 calories burned
    59 minutes 496 calories burned

    Shoulders & Arms and Ab Ripper X:
    79 minutes 453 calories burned
    75 minutes 398 calories burned
    75 minutes 304 calories burned

    Kenpo X:
    62 minutes 364 calories burned
    60 minutes 461 calories burned
    60 minutes 409 calories burned

    Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X:
    75 minutes 495 calories burned
    76 minutes 445 calories burned
    76 minutes 424 calories burned

    Cardio X:
    45 minutes 246 calories burned

    Core Synergistics:
    59 minutes 345 calories burned
    55 minutes 349 calories burned
    55 minutes 333 calories burned
    54 minutes 183 calories burned

    Chest Shoulders & Triceps and Ab Ripper X:
    79 minutes 386 calories burned
    83 minutes 511 calories burned
    75 minutes 342 calories burned

    Back & Biceps and Ab Ripper X:
    74 minutes 498 calories burned
    76 minutes 350 calories burned

    For reference, I'm 5'3" and weigh about 158 lbs at the moment. But as you can see, the number of calories burned can vary greatly depending on how much you bring it, which - of course - changes from day to day depending on how you're feeling an how much protein you had in a given day and all that.
