Hi there...I'm getting my Insanity set and not sure how to accurately track the calories I burn with each workout. I don't have a FitBit or any other device to track it. HELP!

    The only thing you can do without an HRM is just guestimate and go from what others burn. Without one, it's pretty hard to determine.

    IMO... Gotta get a heart rate monitor... your calorie burn is not always going to be the same... doesn't have to be fancy... doesn't have to even have the chest strap (though I hear they're the most accurate)... as long as you're using the same HRM, then you should at least have some consistency in your calculations...

    I'm with everyone else here. HRM is the way to go.
