    I have one but misplaced the transmitter so I've just been logging it as circuit training, general. It's probably on the low side but better to be safe than sorry.

    I'm doing Insanity too! I just consider it Aerobics, High Impact and while I think the calories burned is a little low, I'm ok with it, just like adini749. Better safe than sorry. :)

    I dont know if this is more accurate but i use a calculator on maymyrun, and you put in your height weight and time you forkout for and it calculates calories based on that..... check out my exercise log :)

    and thanks for the friend add

    I use mapmyrun when I go running and I've worn my HRM at the same time. Mapmyrun was way below, at least a good 100 calories or so below.
