Cheerleaders!

How do you count your calories when you're cheerleading? Including dances, stunting, etc. I just put general dancing and use the calories MFP gives you. Obviously I can't wear my HRM watch when I stunt, so what do you guys suggest? Just roll with what this site gives me or what?

Using a chest strap HRM would be the most accurate way (sorry I'm not a cheerleader) is there a reason you can't wear it while "stunting?" Sorry if that's a dumb question. Otherwise, I think recording it as dancing or aerobics would work, but MFP database tends to overestimate calories burned through exercise so just keep that in mind. Good luck!

It's because when I wear the watch, someone could get injured. I'm base so I catch the girl and I could easily accidentally hit someone in the face or hurt the girl's back when I catch her. We're not supposed to wear jewelries anyway.
I wonder if the chest strap are cheap lol. Thank you!
