Insanity Tracking in MFP

cookinggirl

Hey everyone,

What is the easiest way to track calories and whatnot from doing Insanity workouts?? They aren't listed in here, but it's a portion of my weekly workouts.

Help!

Thanks so much!!

Buy a heart rate monitor, track it yourself. Enter it into MFP so you get the calories burned that your HRM says.

Circuit Training, general? Or invest in a heart rate monitor if you can. I can't live without mine!

It's worth it. Trust me. I'd go for a Polar.

I used my HRM on each DVD once to see about what I burned and then just used Circuit general and adjusted the minutes until I got to the right calories burned. . If you don't have an HRM you can google average calories burned during Insanity. It's ballpark but better than nothing.

just noticed you are from upland CA - I live in GA now but lived out there for 5 years, husband was born in Upland!

I found this web site with a list for many different workouts including Insanity

The Heart Rate monitor method will work also.
