I am trying to figure out how to track my exercise log for calories burned but P90X isn't on the list. Is anybody else doing P90X and know how many calories to log or how to log a P90X workout?

Thanks.

    I was also looking for P90x on here. I googled P90x calories burned calculator and you just have to imput what exercise you are doing and it calculates it for you. Still trying to figure out how to imput it in my exercise log though!!!

    Hey! I'm not sure if you figured it out or not but these are two things you can go by to figure out how many calories you burn:

    http://p90xcalories.com/
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P90X

    And to add it as an exercise, do the following:
    - Track Exercise
    - Add Exercise
    - Type in any word in search (ex. "walk")
    - Scroll down
    - Click on "Add an exercise to the database"
    - Fill in the information under cardiovascular

    Unfortunately, you can't enter in calories burned for strengthening exercises, so what I do it put those under cardiovascular as well and then put a note if I want to with details about what I did.

    Hope that helps!!

    Which version of P90X are you doing? I started the classic this week!

    Good luck :)

    If you want a really accurate calorie burned then you need to use a HRM. I use a Polar FT7 and it is very accurate.
