TDEE and weight loss

Best exercise for glutes and abs?
What can I do to tighten and lift my white girl *kitten* and tone my abs? And please don't say squats!

Does anyone know how to calculate how many calories burned doing the Jillian Michaels body revolution workouts? They are not listed as a choice from the drop down menu.
