Logging exercise when you workout with a personal trainer

Any suggestions on the best way to log my exercise on days that I workout with my personal trainer? We do such a wide variety of exercises each session that I haven't found the best way to log it on MFP. I don't eat back my calories so it's not that I'm just trying to get a close approximation.

    Maybe track your heart rate and do a quick google of calories burned per exercise. That would lead to a much more accurate estimate.

    I do cardio warm ups and cools downs when I weight train. I just log the cardio part as: it isn't necessarily accurate & weight lifting doesn't burn that many calories, but only logging the cardio gives me buffer if I overestimate the cardio calories. Not sure how your training is set up, ask your trainer for advice on how to estimate calories burned.
