    Has anyone found a way to log it on here? Do you just create your own exercise and put the cals off your HRM? Or can you find it in the database? I really want to try to keep the RIGHT amount of Calories in my "bank" that way I'm not over/under eating...

    I JUST PUT IT UNDER CALISTHENICS VIGOROUS AND PULL THE INFO FROM MY HRM.

    How many days have you been doing Insanity? I just completed my 20th day. I love it but some days I want to give up. I do believe it is around 325 calories.

    I DIDN'T HAVE A HRM MY FIRST MONTH OF INSANITY, BUT I DO NOW AND BOY DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I AM IN MONTH 2 AND I BURN BETWEEN 600-750 CAL. AND ONE DAY I REALLY PUSHED IT AND BURNED 1000 CAL.

    I AM 5'3", 127LBS, AND MY HEART RATE USUALLY, WHEN IM PUSHING IT, STAYS AT AROUND 178.

    Hi everyone, just started Insanity today with the Fit Test and was hoping someone could clue me in on how many calories I will likely burn with each of the different workouts? I am 5'7", 130 lbs, 22 yrs old. Thanks!

    With an accurate heart rate monitor (with chest strap) you should be able to log more calories burned than that. A good monitor will accept your height, build, sex, current weight, and your lowest and highest heart rates. That will ensure an accurate reading. I am 5'6, 135 lbs, and I burn approximately 100 calories/10 minutes with Turbofire. The higher you get your heart rate, the more conditioned your cardiovascular system. With Insanity you spend more time in the upper reaches of your heart rate max, therefore burn more calories. This is assuming you put forth the intensity!
    Also, your calories burned amount will DECREASE over time as you become more conditioned unless you weight train as well. You want to keep it challenging!

    I have just bought a HRM, and used it for the first time today doing Pure Cardio, I was at 89% heart rate for the majority of the workout and the HRM said I burnt 680cals :/ I appreciate it's a hardcore cardio workout, but really?
    I'm 145lb, 5 ft 5 and aged 22...I can't accept that I burnt 680 cals, just seems too excessive!

    Well it sure makes me feel better that I'm not the only one asking the same questions or feeling like a train ran me over after being finish Insanity. I'm doing Day 3 this afternoon, and I can't wait!!!
    I think I may be hooked...I'm actually looking forward to it.

    I just finished my 60 days of Insanity a few weeks ago... I LOVED IT! Towards the end, the videos get long and tough... but 100% worth it :)

    I bought my HRM from Walmart, $30 Sportsline and it works great. I just started the Max section of Insanity (month 2) this week. The first month, I burned 650+ cal each DVD, and within my current month, I'm burning 800-950 so far. I'm 34, 5'1" and 155lb. The more you weight and the older you are, the more I hear you're supposed to burn.

    I know this post is aged ago but I was iffy about how many calories I burned from just doing the Pure Cardio. I thought I share mine as well in case, there are other people out there who might need some "estimations" to how many calories they should burn:

    Age: 29
    Weight: 121
    Height: 4'11"
    Heart Rate: Low: 85 High: 191 Avg: 140
    Calories burned: 316

    This is the 3rd day of round 2 of Insanity for me. I expected to burn more than 300 calories but from reading the above threads, it seems pretty close? I burn about 300 calories from doing 35 minutes of jogging along. Insanity is more intense so I expected to burn more but I am not sure if this is close??

    I think it's supposed to be HRM (Heart Rate Monitor)

    Maybe :P

    Then again it could be, H(Something) Metobolic Rate...? :-/
