Logging calories from Youtube work out vids???

XxElla93xX

Hi guys, I'm just wondering how do you log the work outs from youtube vids? I've been doing 30 day shred, Insanity and Victoria Secret workout and I haven't logged any of them as I don't know how to.

Can anyone help?

Thank youuuu

A HRM can help give you an idea of what you're burning!

Google. Everyone will tell you to get an HRM, and while that's good advice, it's just not in my budget. So I Google name of workout + calories burned. It typically turns up tons of results. I take the lowest 2 or 3, average them out, and create my own workout and enter it that way. No, it's not 100% accurate, but at least it gives me an idea.

I use a HRM. I work out at home and use youtube videos a lot

I'd log it as Circuit Training here on MFP. You probably burn more/less depending on the exercises, but its a good estimate since it's based on your personal size.

I'm embarrassed to say I hadn't thought of the circuit training thing, but that would probably be a fair starting point. I do a lot of those kinds of workouts, too, and don't have a HRM yet so I'm right there with you.
