i just wondered, does anyone know how you can work out how many calories you burn doing exercises?

say 30 minutes of salsa?

The best way to do so is to get a heart rate monitor. You can calculate the number of calories you burn based on your current weight and height and based on how high your heart rate gets as you exercise.

Yep, I agree. You can find several different types at Target or I would imagine any health or outdoor store...

And besides, even if someone gave you an estimate on how many cals burned, it all depends on how hard/fast your moving ect...

I found this calculator online that I use when I want to figure out estimated calories burned, they list dancing on there just not salsa specifically, it would probably be close. http://www.healthstatus.com/cbc.html I hope it helps.
