Abs and calories?

How do I count these? It doesn't appear to add them in the exercise section - not as calories, at least. I can't work it out, anyway, if it does.

Help?

    Are you looking for a specific exercise?

    Not really, just looking to know how to mark these down in terms of exercise - calories burned, for example.

    That's what I use also for a group of exercises that include stretching, leg lifts, and about a million crunches. I made it through the entire 20 minute tape today, YIPEE, doing every single crunch, no modifying, I've even moved up to adding a 5 pound weight to each leg. These are awesome weights I bought years ago. They have five slots in them and you can add one to five one-pound weights. Sometimes we really can only make an educated guess.

    Thanks for the help. I'll go with "calisthenics" then.

    Congrats on making through the whole vid - I know how hard that can be!!
