How to log trampolining

For gymnastics, I can't wear any jewellery at all so a HRM is out of the question. I've been mostly working on skills on all four (women's) pieces of apparatus and that's all strength so I've been estimating the 1.5hr sessions with variations based on what I actually do that day, trying to equate it to dance classes or rehearsals where I've been able to wear a HRM.

I've moved to a new gym and I spent 30mins on the trampoline, which I haven't done in a loooong. I intend to start training that a bit more so it's definitely going to change what I'm burning. MFP doesn't seem to have trampolining as any sort of option so I can't even just have a MFP-estimate. I'd say I was "slightly out of breath" at all times and I was working at a decent level (ie. somersaults, and jumps with several turns before landing, as well as jumps and drills from the trampoline into mats or the pit).

Any suggestions on what kind of thing I should log it as/what it's similar to? I'm pretty much doing recomp now and I don't want to be under/over estimating exercise. The session is 2hrs and I'll soon be doing it more often as well, so I really need to come to some sort of conclusion on how much I'm burning.
