Does anyone know the calorie burns for the different p90x workouts? I love the workouts but I would love to know how to log it! Anyone else who is into p90x??

  • I goggled it. For instance, I did the P90X Yoga and goggled "How many calories do you burn doing P90X Yoga". Each video is different. Best of luck!! P90X is a great work out program. I feel it for days after. Sometimes I think my body wants to divorce me after, lol.

    For the average person, they are about 350 cals per workout. A heart rate monitor will say you burned between 500 and 800cals, but that's way off. The p90x guide estimates about 600cal per workout, which too is a bit high.

    To get an accurate count unfortunately a heart rate monitor or body bugg, etc. would be your best bet.

    I am also doing P90x and I just google each workout and use about an average for each one.

    Good luck! I am on week 4 of the Lean version and am down 15 pounds already. It sure is one tough workout though.

    Best advice right here! Everyone is going to hit the workout at a different intensity. Who know what number your going to get if you look for what someone else posted. It may a decent ballpark. But what if the number you use is too high? Now your are assuming you have more calories to eat than your really do.

    Just a suggestion.
