Do you have to break the video down or just forget about it!? I don't want inaccurate calorie burning.

    I would log it depending on the activity, e.g. 'aerobics' or 'yoga' etc. But, as always, you want to take the MFP calorie burn with a pinch of salt, and assume it has over-estimated your burn anyway.

    Calorie burns provided by MFP are rough estimates. They can be very generous.

    Let's say your cardio workout was 45 minutes.....including a 5 minute warm-up & a 5 cool down. People will shave off 15 or so minutes to reduce the over-estimation.
