    When I do it I log it as circuit training. It is quite the workout and I want to get the "credit" for it!

    Wear a HRM, log it as whatever you want and just add the calories burned from the monitor.

    I've done Killer Buns and Thighs! I love that DVD :) I'm not sure how to log it but if you don't have a HRM and you do have a smartphone, you can download a HRM App for free. It's pretty effective and...free, lol.

    Uh...just because this was YOUR burn doesn't mean it will be the same for everyone else...

    Hi!
    The calorie burns are reasonable for the lady who posted it, comparing my vital stats with what she has on her profile.
    I'm 50, 5'5", 135lbs, 17% BF, and I'm using slightly heavier weights for the exercises...done all except 6 week six pack... I'm burning just a little less, because my bodyweight is lower, and I've gotten used to it. We're still in the same ballpark..

    As for the OPs question, I like to 'create a new exercise' for these things in MFP, and I enter the results of my HRM. This way, I know if I have improved on this specific workout. The circuit training option might work, but it my memory isn't that good to remember which circuit that was after a couple weeks.... =)

    And yes, there is success, if you stick with the meal plans. Since the workouts don't burn as much as one might think, it's a lost cause, if you don't log your food.
    I'm about to throw around some kettlebells myself in a minute.

    Happy training!
