In 6 minutes I made it through 1 round of this workout (ZWOW #43) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7pCVoM4eJ0&feature=g-all-u If you made it through the whole 12 minutes, like she does, what would you even put in your exercise diary?

    Lynn, for that kind of thing you almost need a heart rate monitor to even know. Even the walking/running I'm doing isn't really an accurate estimate of the calories burned because there's no way of knowing the real energy expenditure without heart rate.

    I have no idea what you would put that down as, hopefully someone else has some ideas. I think I'm going to have to break down and just get a heart rate monitor for some of this stuff.
