My friend has a question and I'm not sure how to help her so I wanted to ask here.

For those who do the p90x workout, how do you log your calorie burn here on MFP? p90x does not exist in the exercise section.

    a HRM would be best.

    HRM. But you need to be aware the P90X is much more than burning calories. I have seen people get discourage by cal numbers and a elliptical or a treadmill instead.

    I was told to log it in under cardiovascular "interval training" For 30 minutes, it was over 300 calories for me which I think is quite a bit so I think I'm just not going to log my exercise and not worry about it.

    I log it under cardiovascular training. Some times, I am doing p90x3 which is half hour work out. I average around 300-400 cals and log the exercise with 1 cal if its less than 300 cals.

    http://p90xcalories.com/ Punch in her info then quick add under exercise...Note which routine and duration in the comment block. I do wear a HRM...and this calculator is very close...within 2/3 percent.
