WOW my p90x calculator and heart rate monitor says i burned 1010 calories during my work out. Is that true? wow i dont think i have ever had a workout that registered at that high of a calorie burner. yeah its a tough tough work out and you get a great sweat and the heart is pumping but 1010 cal? can anyone confirm that?

    How long was the workout? What were you doing? I think it's very possible!

    Depends entirely on the type of workout and duration of the workout, combined with your age/weight/gender. But yes, that amount of calorie burn is totally possible in one workout. I burned around 1200 doing a 10 mile run yesterday. (info based on Polar HRM, BodyMedia Fit and RunKeeper, which were all within 20 cal of each other).

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but you spend most of that 61 minutes workout out and very little resting, right? I've only watched 1 of the videos, but it seemed to me like you are going and going and going. If that's the case, your calories sound right. If you had a lot or long rest breaks, then maybe not.

    if you want to call a rest of putting your weights down and getting different weights to do the next work out then that is all the rest i get. or putting it down to get the chair to do dips..lol so i guess its correct then. i cant wait to get home and do legs and back!
