How do you guys count how many calories you have burned doing this exercise?

I've been using the 1st tape for several months now and I love it! I just ordered this one and I'm pretty excited!

hey Leggy Lady!

I bought the Samba work outs, one and two. the first one is more conducive to working out on carpets, but the second one involves a 'twisting hip/ twisting feet' kind of move that was impossible to do on carpet, unless you plan on tearing ligaments! i work out on carpet too.. BUT- you can always go back to the basic move during that movement and keep up. These are great videos, and yeah.. try it in socks. either way, ,they are definitely worth the buy. :-) let me know what you think!

I have been VERY intersted in getting this DVD but have not yet because I've read (I think on Collage) that it is not suitable for using on carpets. Sadly, my workout space is carperted. Thoughts on doing it wearing socks, no shoes, on carpet? I've been able to do this with some low impact workouts, but not all. any advice is appreciated. THANKS!!!!!

My DVD finally made it here. What a workout. I love it. I think this DVD will really help me out. It starts out slow and gives you time to work your way up. ( Brazilian Dance Party )
