Here is one of her blogs that says about logging them but it's only set for a few of the videos...

I generally go for 200 calories for a 1 hr workout - seem to remember reading this somewhere but honestly don't know how accurate it is!!

Thanks ! So it's more about making lean muscle tone more so than torching calories .

i just put in pilates for 45 minutes and then circut training for 10 minutes. and i think its pretty accurate.

Since Cassey's pilates are not normal pilates (she regularly changes pace, has you "pulse it out" and so forth which you don't find in normal pilates routines) you should log them as calisthenics. I normally log it as calisthenics, moderate/at home for her pop pilates videos. For the pop cardio routines, I log it as normal cardio. Finally, for her HIIT routines, you should log it as circuit training.

All the best!

I wear a heart rate monitor. I'm 5'5 and 156 lbs. For kind of chill regular ol' pilates videos, I burn about 50 cals. For more circuit style workouts combined together for an hour or so (like the arms workout on the current calendar that combines Applause Arms, Never Getting Back Together, Arms on Fire, and bikini blaster) I burn 250-350. For the HIIT stuff I've burned 500 and more. Hope that helps.

She did say she put some stuff into weighttraining.com to help you figure out your calories so I think that's the calculator you're thinking of. Still, a HRM is the way to go to know for sure. There's a lot of variables like how much weight you're using, whether you pause for rests ('cause I know there's a lot of videos I just can't quite keep up with!), whether you do modifiers, what your cardiovascular health is, etc. Hopefully my figures as well as her calculator can help give a rough estimate.
