I just log it under something comparable to what my heartrate monitor gives me. Not sure if that helps you much :ohwell:
Curious what others do as well - I'm only on week 2!0 -
Awesome. Thanks, yeah my hun and I just finished day 2 (plyometrics) like 5min ago. How's week 2 treating you? Easier then week 1? I absolutly love it!! :bigsmile:0

I put it under tae bo and use the HRM for calories burnt. i usually burn between 475-680 cals doings legs and ab ripper0

I made my own entry for "P90X" and log the time and calories from my HRM. In the notes section I put what the specific exercise was. Monday starts Phase 2 for me. It's freakin awesome! (It would have to be to get me our of bed at 4:30 AM to do it before I go to work)
Last time I did chest and back I burned 646 Calories.0 -
Yep I completely agree! We loooove it...although today my biggest challenge has been sitting down or standing up and getting down the stairs...forget about it lol. Its all good pain though and I'm already down 2lbs from my weigh in last week so I stoked about that. Tomorrow will be the real challenge though cause we too will be waking up extra early to do it. So plyometrics would be considered cardio and when you do things like chest shoulders back, or arms & shoulders you'd log it as maybe weights? Or calisthnetics (vigorous effort)?0

I log it all under the cardio category.0

Good to hear others like P90x. I am starting back up this week. Are you following the P90x diet? Or your own version?0

Yeah were sticking to the mea plan, no more red meat for us. All chicken turkey and a teenie bit of pork. We drink at the least 1 of the protein shakes from the recipes they give you each day. Our meals usually consist of this, egg whites scrambled on toast. (Usually sarah lee whole wheat 45cal bread) on the next day ill scramble them with maybe some lean meat always a fruit and sometimes some cheese on the eggs. Morning snack usually something small such as a granola bar, some grapes something to that affect. Lunch usually a lean meat turkey sandwich, turkey burger (no bread) tuna sandwhich and a salad or carrot sticks, afternoon snack is my protein shake and about an hour after something else small like a fruit, a cracker of some sort or veggie (I bellpeppers) dinner tonight I made homemade chicken chow mein with yummy veggies and homemade fried rice (not actually fried) night before was chicken fajitas with grilled veggies and so on.0

I log everything as cardio. For each P90x workout I created an exercise and then update the calories based on my HRM. The calorie count varies pretty widely between the different workouts, at least for me. I keep track of the weight workouts, #reps and weights, using the fitness guide. When I'm finished with the program, I'm going to upload all the data to an excel sheet.0 -
