Timed, where you have a set of exercises that you need to do as quickly as possible (Fran, Helen, Filthy Fifty, etc.). For these, figure out what the "ideal" time would be, and multiply by 25 calories (because an ideal time is basically doing a near-sprint without rest). For example, an awesome Fran time would be 2.5 minutes, which corresponds to ~60 calories burned. An awesome Helen time might be 8 minutes, which corresponds to ~200 calories burned. It doesn't matter if Fran takes you 2.5 minutes, or 6 minutes, or 15 minutes, you will burn approximately 60 calories.
AMRAP, where you are asked to do as many reps as possible of some exercise(s) in a given amount of time (Cindy, Mary, etc.). For these, figure out what the ideal score would be (e.g. 35 rounds of Cindy in 20 minutes), and assume that corresponds to 25 calories/minute (e.g. 35 rounds of Cindy = 20 minutes * 25 calories/minute = 500 calories). If you did 2/3 the ideal number of rounds, then you burned 2/3 the estimated number of calories.
