I am going to either a Zumba or Strike class tonight and those types of exercises are not available on MFPs lists of exercises. And I don't know how many calories I burn as I don't have a HRM yet. Also I have ordered 30 day shred and won't know how to log that either. Any suggestions? I know getting a HRM is ideal, but until my budget allows one, what should I do?

Thanks!

    try entering it as "aerobic, high impact", other option is to get a hrm and know exactly what you are burning during the class.
