I created an exercise for each workout based on calculations I got from Livestrong based on my weight and the type of activity. Most are based on circuit training calorie burn. I log the Tabata Inferno and Cardio Challenge as cardio. I log the Ultimate Ball as core training. I log the rest as strength training. I think my estimated burns are pretty accurate because the scale has started moving since I started logging my custom exercises instead of using MFP's estimates for circuit training.
What are you getting for estimated burns?0 -

I bought an HRM since this post, but it seems that Livestrong was fairly accurate for all except Tabata Inferno.
With the HRM, I get:
Tabata Inferno - 466
Cardio Challenge - 360
All others - between 215 and 270
They seem to average about 9 to 10 calories burned per minute for the cardio workouts and aobut 7 or 8 for the strength training. My burn is higher if I tone it down to keep my heart rate in the 65-85% of target range.0
