Work out videos?

How do you add them when you search for exercise. I see people listing turbo jam stuff and p90x? am I missing something?

You can manually add whatever video you did to your exercise database. If you wear a heart rate monitor, it should tell you how many calories you burned.

You can go to the site of the video some tells you how many calories you burn.

You do the "Create An Exercise" option, (under MY EXERCISE ) and log it as CARDIO, add the title, add the calorie count from your heart rate monitor.

Video info from websites will only be a broad general estimate, and are often inaccurate for many people. For example a large man, working with few rest breaks, lifting heavy weights for example - will have a completely different calorie burn then a smaller, fit women, or an obese person with many rest breaks and so on. Men typically burn at higher rates then women.

Amount of weight lifted, rest breaks, rep count, body fat levels, fitness levels - all this will alter your unique calorie burn rate.

P90X estimate 500-600 cal burn per hour, but thats a rough average of all DVDs, over the entire 90 day cycle. Not saying YOU will burn 500-600 per DVD. Its just a broad range.

In reality, for me, (a short stature women) for example, I burn 300-400 cal per hour, and I am pretty fit, often lift through rest periods, or do other active exercise, lift heavy to failure, add on extra wrist and ankle weights on all cardio DVDs, all ab work. I do advanced versions of all moves. So I tweak things for me, to increase my burn rate. And I still do not reach 500-600 an hour.

Yes, don't ever go by what a website tells you you'll burn for a certain workout. Even at my weight I burn less than someone smaller who hasn't worked out. I generally burn 350-435 doing the full-length Turbo Jam workouts, and they claim you can burn "up to" 1,000 cals an hour. I answered your post earlier about the heart rate monitor, don't know if you saw that yet.
