P90X'ers

My husband & I are beginning today & I am wondering what to type/search for in the excercise category to get the different calorie estimates for each DVD/daily excercise. I've tried just plain P90X and nothing comes up. If anyone out there could help, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks

Not a P90X user but am an Insanity user and the best way is using a Heart Rate Moniter. For a week I was matching up the Insanity workouts to what this sites provide. Following week I got a heart rate moniter and I was actually burning 300plus extra calories than what this site was telling me!

I agree. Get an inexpensive heart rate monitor like at Wal-mart or Target. i got a Sportline HRM for under $30. I use it during every exercise. For instance, for X Stretch I would only burn 100 calories. Make sure you get one that tracks your calories burned. You don't need to get one that has the chest strap.

I've seen a few posts about this topic and you should do some searching but here's what I do.

Circuit Training for the weight lifting days.
Calisthenics for the ab and cardio days.
Yoga for the yoga.
