Insanity - calories burned???

Hi all, I'm on day 3 of the insanity programme and unfortunately my HRM is currently out of battery. Until I get it replaced does anyone know what I should be recording the exercise as on MFP? I've seen circuits or high impact aerobics but for 30mins they're under 250 calories..... Does this sound right? Any info is greatly received! Thanks! :smile:

  • Hi,
    I'm a male 5'8" and my weight is around 205 lbs. I usually do between 60-75% of what Shaun T does. My burn is between 300-400 Kcal for the 40 min workout

    Hope it helps
    Ps: Your burn highly depends on the intensity and your stats

    Edited to include my gender :)

    when i first started i was burning around 500ish. I am 5'7 211 pounds :) i try and do most of the workout to the best of my ability. But it really depends on how out of shape you are which is why i burn so much probably and because i am heavier. hope that helped!

    When my friend and I did it we just logged it under running a 12 min mile.. (which is what her fiance told us to do and he knows more about this stuff than we did..) at the time I was 5'2'' and 160 pounds.
