Logging workout DVDs?

hypocrisy8 · September 2012

While I originally was planning on participating in the "Insanity" workouts, after a bit more research I decided that it may be a bit too Insane for me

So... I ended up ordering Jillian Michaels Body Revolution instead. Yesterday was my first day! I definitely think I am going to enjoy them. However I am unsure the best way to log these.. I don't really know how many calories I burn per workout. Does anyone have any tips for logging exercise DVDs/shows in general, or even specifically the Body Revolution workouts?

I usually log Jillian workouts under "Circuit Training". It definitely overestimates your calories so I only eat back half of them to counter balance the inaccuracy of the "calories burned".

I can't afford a heart rate monitor right now, so I asked some friends on MFP who are my height/weight range and who do have one what they burn and then subtracted some. I'd rather under guess than over guess! Plus, everyone really is different, but it gets me logging it and until i can get one, that's the best I can do.

I'm not sure if the one you're looking for is here, but I recently found this link.
