    Yeah, you won't find much outside of the typical exercises on mfp (walking, jogging, swimming, biking, etc). After many months on this site, I finally managed to buy a heart rate monitor. If you aren't able to buy one right now, the site I used pre-HRM was caloriesperhour.com Once I did get my HRM, I compared what it said to that site and they were pretty close, often my HRM being a little higher in cal burn.
    Just go to the calculators on there and you'll see 'activity list' which has quite a bit. Though it won't have EVERYTHING( like Kettlebells or Zumba, but you'll find plenty of things!) but it helps.

    I would log your KB's as circuit training, making your own exericse and labeling it whatever you please and then plug in your numbers :)
