Insanity: calories burnt?

mi18agnes

Question here: I just completed my first day of the Insanity program. 30 hard but very fun minutes, looking foward for tomorrow. In 30 minutes, they include a small cool down but it's basically cardio, lots of push ups, burpees and jumps!
I know everyone will be different, that man normally burn around 700-1000 calories, that actually seems a lot to me, but what about women? I'm 147 pounds and 5.4 foot. I logged 700 calories but not sure. Anyone have any idea? Thanks!

PS: no, I do not own a heart rate monitor.

I would say a good bet would be between 10 - 12 calories per minute. I've done several rounds of Insanity/P90X Hybrid. You will be safe at that level

You can google insanity calorie calculator and there are some websites that will input your weight, age, and height and then guesstimate your calorie loss per workout.

Actually I googled it for you

For me the calories it calculated are about 15% higher than what I actually burn via HRM.
