I started doing Bootcamp workout classes this morning. I am not sure how to record the calorie burn. Any ideas? Its not showing up when I search.

    Circuit training or aerobics?

    I did a bootcamp class this morning with a 1mile run before hand and I burned just under 500 calories in 52 minutes. Not sure if that helps. I'd log it as circuit training if you don't have a HRM. I suggest you get one though!

    HRM won't be accurate anyway for boot camp. HRM are for steady elevated cardio. I log it as circuit training.

    What do you mean? A heart rate monitor monitors your heart rate during any exercise steady cardio or not. It's definitely going to work for HIIT training.... Why would you think it wouldn't.

    Hrm are only accurate for steady state cardio not intervals and especially not strength training.

    Hmmm. So, for today my average heart rate was 145 during that workout. If I go onto a calculator online (http://www.shapesense.com/fitness-exercise/calculators/heart-rate-based-calorie-burn-calculator.shtml) and put in all that information and it says I burned 445 calories, that is incorrect? Look, I don't eat back my calories usually so whether it's off by 50 or whatever makes no difference to me. However, how does that not make sense?
