I am starting Insanity today and I went to look if its listed under the exerciser and it was not listed. So my question is how do you know what to put the work out down as and how do you know just how many calories your burning if you don't have a monitor for it (way to spendy)

That's an online calculator... when I use that, during my 30 second breaks on Insanity, use the timer on the DVD and get your own heart rate... count for the 30 seconds and multiply by 2. (30 seconds X 2 = 1 minute). I do that 2 or 3 times throughout the video to get an average... say the first time my heart rate was 160, second time 175, third time 180... add the three together then divide by 3 for an average heart rate. i.e. (160+175+180)/2 = 172 average heart rate.. then use that in the calculator. But you can get a really cheap HRM on ebay!!!0
