Hi

I'm new to MFP and am completely loving the ability to track food and exercise. I have come across a tiny problem in terms of how best to record my exercise though.

I've started a workout called PiYo, which is a combination of Pilates and Yoga with added cardio. As this is such a new workout, I can't find anything on MFP that covers it to enable me to add it to my exercise diary.

I was going to record it as either Pilates or Yoga, but I wondered if anyone else is following this workout, and whether they had a better suggestion.

Any advice would be fantastic.

Michelle :smile:

    That's probably the closest thing in the exercise database on MFP. To find out what your calorie burn is you may have to get a heart rate monitor.

    HRM would not be accurate at all for such exercise. HRMs calculations are only desinged to give a good estimate during steady state cardio only (not strength training, not Yoga, not Pilates, Not sprints, etc)
