    Hi! For now I just google it as I dont have a hrm. Generally it is 600 per 1 hour workout. 180 per abx 16 min. Plyo and cardio× are said to be 800 to 1200. There is a p90x calculator as well. The yoga and stretch are said to be less. I don't know all of them yet as I am only on 3rd day.

    I would not go by this at all, those are estimates, but depends on how hard you push yourself, age, gender, weight, reps, weight lifted, etc.

    I would suggest being conservative and put 8-10 cals/min or so for the cardio workouts, and 4-6/minute for the strength training
