I would classify it as Vigorous Weight Lifting. Even though its just bands and what not your still burning a lot of calories during it. If you feel like that would be over doing it, do the less intense weight lifting option. Even though its not actual weights, bands have been equivalent to lifting 60-80 pounds.

We have this program, although I'm not following it by the book at the moment.  But when I was, I looked through the materials and found somewhere where it said that the workouts burn 600 calories each.  I wouldn't be surprised, because in every single one of them, I'm huffin' and puffin' and sweating like crazy, and I don't sweat much.  Of course it would depend on your current size, etc., but that's a good start.  You could try it for awhile and see if you're getting the results you want with that amount of calories.  

 

Bring it!

I am on week 1 of the classic program and I have been using my heartrate monitor to track my calorie burn.  Keep in mind that I am probably going to have much different stats than you, but I am a 34yr female, 5'8" 133lbs.  This is what I have tracked so far:

Chest & Back, Ab ripper X = 250

Plyometrics = 436

Shoulders & Arms, Ab Ripper X = 330

YogaX = 188

Legs & Back, Ab Ripper X = 475

Hopefully these numbers are useful to you,. Oh, and by the way, I am exhausted at the end of each of the workouts (including yoga)!

Good luck with the program.  This is my 2nd time around.  1st time I did the lean program and although the number on the scale didn't move much, I was in great shape!

 

alright, thanks, im a prity big guy, so my heart rate gets up prity fast. i think ill just list it around 300 calories each workout, im usualy prity tired after its done.
