    I would either do calisthetics vigorous or light depending on what you feel you do or circuit training?

    Or I know many people don't add strength and exercises like that to their calorie counter...you could just make a note of the fact that you did them.

    Whatever you would prefer. :)

    I would do it under strength training, general, or calisthenics.

    I know some people will change their calorie burn to 1 so they don't have all the calories added, but I tend to track just to track and eat back if I feel like I'm starving. :)

    I do something similar and used to just log it as pilates for whatever reason...but, I just figure a calorie a minute.

    my best guess...and then create your own exercise to log it. an HRM wouldn't be too helpful for this anyway. :D just go with perceived exertion.
