I usually use Aerobics, low impact and then just add the minutes.
It counts as a low impact aerobic activity, LOVE IT!

I found this online as to how to log it in the meantime: Calories Burned - Aerobics, general, low impact (including Walk Away The Pounds)

Which video are you going to do? I have the 5 mile fat burning walk where you walk fast for ten minutes and jog for two. Since I complete the five miles in 62 minutes, I log it as walking 4.5 mph which is considered a brisk pace.

I don't have a heart rate monitor, but do you know how I log it? I use Leslie Sansone DVD's and she tells you how many miles you walk. Soooooo, if I do a two mile walk, I log very brisk pace (4mph) for 30 minutes, which is the equivalent of 2 miles. You can't go by how long the DVD is b/c Leslie starts out slow, speeds up, then slows back down again. But you burn the same amount of calories as you would if you went outside and walked two miles. If you walk 3 miles, log very brisk pace for 45 minutes.

I would suggest getting a Polar HRM. These are at Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Online, Random Watch/fitness stores, etc.

While you CAN use the equation listed above it will likely be innacurate. I definitely wouldn't assume it's accurate enough to eat exercise calories back with.

Everyone will burn different calories depending on height, weight, muscle mass, sex, age, etc.

When i used to use the calculations (before my HRM) it was generall 40%-60% over-estimating.
