I'm doing the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution but can not figure out how many calories I'm burning during my workouts - anyone have any advice or know where I can find this information? Thank you!

    I had to use a HRM to get mine, and it works out to right at 10 calories per minute... I am in OK shape (i can finish the workouts but they're tough), i'm 5'4" and a fairly muscular 178 lbs... I think if you figure right around there you won't be over-estimating :)

    You need to get a Heart Rate montor with calorie counter. It is the only way you can exactly determine how much you're burning.

    thank you so much! Right now I don't have a heart rate monitor so I am tracking the cardio work out as circuit training, general, but how will I track the actual workouts? the same way, under cardio??? Not sure when I'll be able to get a heart rate monitor...

    Heart rate monitors are not that expensive. You should be able to find one for a reasonable price. Check on Amazon or Ebay.

    Hi there! I have this program as well. On phase 1 I was burning about 180 calories. Phase 2 I started burning 200ish calories. Now phase 3 I burn 230ish. Good luck!

    I read elsewhere that you can count under Cardiovascular - Circuit training at 440 calories.... does that sound right?
