I think the closest thing you can get is pilates..You can look up your exercise database too that has a ton of stuff in it.

the best way to find out how many calories you are burning is to invest in a HRM (heart rate monitor). you can generally pick a decent one up between $75 to $100 dollars. However they have some more expensive ones that have lots of other features that you probably would not use. I personally have a Polar F6, and a Polar RS 200 and they both track calories, heart rate, etc.

best wishes on your journey

I usually log my dvds under 'Aerobics-high impact" or the Jillian Michaels ones I log under "Circuit Training General"

I would log the Jillian workout as Circuit Training and the ab workout as calisthenics.
