o.k. so for those of you who have a HRM... let me ask you this... Here is my scenario

You create a new excersize for let say XXX work out video with xxx calories burned. now the next time you do that video, do you use the same one you created and just adjust the time? or do you create a new exercise every time you work out.

The reason I ask is because maybe today you work out harder and yesterday you didn't go as hard for whatever reason. what if your HRM says you burned a different amount of calories on 2 different days but the time and exercise was exactly the same.

I hope I am not confusing anyone.

    use same exercise, and use correct time, just edit the calories, you can override the number it gives you

    As the others have said you can use the same exercise by manually change the calories burned.

    I just did this with my Turbofire HIIT 15 class - according to my HRM the last time I did it I burned 110 calories and this time exactly 100, so I just leave the name and time the same but change the calories :)

    I started using a heart rate monitor and I plan to add the exercise each time based on what the heart rate monitor says.

    I add a new entry everyday based on what the HRM says

    For example: 30 ellip/30 bike/ arms =662
