So, then, my husband and I got insanity (which is expensive but we found it on ebay for like $50 cheaper), and I really like it! A lot of cardio, and that is what should help me shed some pounds. What does everyone…

Interval training
Is there any way to calculate calories burned for interval training? I did 30 minutes of intense cardio interval this morning, and since MFP doesn't just have interval training in the cardio section, I put down high impact aerobics.
