i will be starting the insanity workout program come january, but there isnt anything in the cardio category on here to tell me how many calories i will be burning... does anyone know of anything that IS listed that might be at least close to the amount for insanity?

    I've just been using high impact aerobics. I am hoping I get a HRM that tracks calories for Christmas.

    i have a feeling i will have to purchase myself one lol... on the insanity site it says you can burn up to 1000 calories in one hour... but i feel that the amount would be different for each person depending on the level of intensity they perform at...

    do you know of any good brands to look for as far as HRM's that track calories?

    You should get one , That way you can get a better reading of what your burning , I've got about 10 more day until I finish insanity and been using a Polar FT7.
    You'll be fine with a FT4.

    Depending on your intensity for month 1 (Age / Hgt / Wght )
    your going to burn anywhere from 300-650 and month 2 anywhere from 500- 800 Cals, Well at least that is what I've been averaging .

    Good luck on your Journey !

    HRM with chest strap all the way.
    Nothing will be more precise...
    I'm always using one and I did and finished Insanity with one.

    It's the best tool to tell you how much you're burning and to help motivate yourself to push harder.

    yea u should get an HRM for an accurate calorie burn. because when i compare between the ones in the database and what i burn. much difference.. so i cant depend on the work outs in the database
