Hello everyone, I am new here and trying to figure out how to log Insanity workouts in my exercise diary. I search the exercises but nothing comes up when I put in Insanity or the name of the specific workout. If I have to add it in myself, how do I know how many calories I am burning? Thank you!

    I put it in as calisthenics. The burn is probably greater but it is the closest thing to it.

    check your heart rate, after the warm up count how many times does your heart beat in 10 seconds and multiply it for 6, then put here all your info :)http://www.calories-calculator.net/Calories_Burned_By_Heart_Rate.html and create a exercise with that info. Good luck doing Insanity!

    Purchase a heart rate monitor - you'll be able to log accurate burns for your workouts.

    Its considered to be circuit training. I did a bit of research and that is how they categorize it, along with the PX90 workout. I hear its a killer! Let us know how it goes!

    A heart rate monitor is TOTALLY worth it!!! I got a polar ft4 from heartratemonitorsusa.com. It was the cheapest polar ft4 I found and I LOVE mine.

    Thanks eveyone! I will look into a hrm for sure. When logging workouts as circuit training or calisthenics do you log it for all of the different workouts? I know some are harder than others. This is my second time doing Insanity. I finished my first 60 day challenge in September. I loved and am doing it again!
