    This is why I love my HRM.

    But if you don't have one, I'd log it as circuit training or calisthenics.

    Hi I might be wrong but if you're moving from 1 exercise to another with little or no rest then I think that's circuit training :D

    That's gonna be one of my first purchases once I find a job! Lol!
    It's just a tough choice between the two, because circuit training burns about twice as many as calisthenics... If I get crazy and do two of them, that's a difference of 300 calories and 600 calories... ugh! Lol!

    That's what I figured, but I don't want to sabotage my weight loss by eating exercise calories that I didn't burn...

    I would log it as circuit training, but only eat about 75% of the exercise calories back, and try to invest in an HRM!

    Why don't you log the smaller one then... that way you're not overestimating (and therefore overeating them back)

    What I sometimes do is google the exercise then I see what some1 my size would burn. I take the lowest answer (2 be safe) and log that
