I must be missing something because that doesn't seem right. When I do Plyometrics with P90X my heart rate monitor says I'm burning close to 1000 calories. I can't imagine burning twice that many.

You are burning calories all day, not just when you exercise.
If we can burn 1000 in one hour of exercise, we must be able to burn another 1000 in the remaining 23 hours.
