Do any of you log the calories burnt during P90x X Stretch? I never have but was just wondering if anyone else does.

    I have a heart rate monitor and have found that for me it's less than 200 calories burned during xstretch. I don't log that one just because it's so low. If I do an additional workout that day I'll log it though just so I'm not too far under my count for the day.

    I burn an almost steady 180 calories on X-Stretch. I wore an HRM the first three times I did the workout and it was 180 every time. Now bear in mind that I subtracted what I would burn normally sitting still (for me, about 1.6 calories a minute) and then discounted the remainder 33% since it is not cardio...The HRM actually shows more, but is not accurate due to the type of exercise it is. I contemplated not counting it, but my "rest" day is so low on available caloreis that I needed a cushion. Now that grass mowing season is upon me, I don't worry about it as much as I can burn 500-700 calories mowing grass (big yard...variances based on how tall the grass is and how hot it is outside).

    Fair warning...I am sending you a friend request...anyone who has Vincent and Jules on their tracker has to be one cool chick!
