How do you log fitness blender videos?

I know there are a ton of different videos, so it'll be based on which video you did. I'm just looking to see how y'all do it to get some suggestions.

I just did one of their core workouts and the start of a glute workout. I logged it as calisthenics, but I had to shorten the time by like 15 minutes to get what I guessed to be a semi-accurate calorie count.

The videos give an estimate of calories burned based on a weight range. I BELIEVE the range is 140-200. What ever the numbers are, you can get a fair estimate of the calorie burn based on where your actual weight lies within the range given on the videos. When I enter the exercise I choose something close to what I did, but rather than change the time I just change the calorie info. I.e. FB estimates I burn 200 on cardio kickboxing (about halfway between weight/calorie range) I choose kickboxing in MFP and change the calories burned from 330 (I wish) to 200. Obviously it's not 100% but so far so good here. (Since May 2015) also, try a hrm.

Depending on the program being used, it is logged in as:
Calisthenics, vigorous effort;
Calisthenics, home, light/moderate effort; or
Strength training.

I will sometimes adjust the time spent on the activity to put the calorie burn within the FitnessBlender guidelines.

You could also use Circuit Training, Step Training (if using their Step Program) or any other category that seems to be a close fit.

I've had to do this as well. Kickboxing is great but doesn't really burn over 300 calories in 25 mins - at least not according to the video estimates.
