P90X - Calories Burned??

It's true! I wear a heart rate monitor during my P90X workouts and average around 600 - sometimes more if I stay strong and don't skip any exercises (like resting and drinking water and watching them do 2 or 3 different exercises before jumping back in) If you stay consistent and don't miss more than a day here or there for those 90 days you WILL see a difference!!

I've been doing P90X, but I use a really good heart rate monitor. Depending on the workout, like Core Synergistics or Shoulders & Arms, it varies. But I've definitely hit over 600 calories on Core and Cardio. I would invest in a simple heart rate monitor; Polar makes a good, easy to use version.

I'm not sure how many calories I lose a workout, but in less than 4 months I lost 21 lbs from P90X and dieting. It was hard work but its really worth it.

You will not burn 600 per workout. It is best to use a heart rate monitor.

You are mis-guided. Not everyone has your body "make-up"

It depends on the workout for the day.

My HRM yesterday for Core Synergistics said I burned 530 calories. Since I worked out for an hour and would have burned about 80 calories during that time doing nothing anyway, I subtract those "maintenance calories" and put in 450 for what I burned.

But on some days like the weight lifting days, I don't usually burn more than 300.

I used a heart rate monitor for my first round of p90x. Some workouts were easy 700 - 900 calories burned according to heart rate monitor.

And don't record them as strength exercises. Log them as cardio so you can include the calories burned.

I burned well over 1200 calories doing plyometrics according to a brand new, top of the line polar heart rate monitor. I do not take breaks hardly at all, maybe stop once during the midway point. If you go hard you will burn serious calories. As far as strength workouts, I have been easily getting a thousand or more on my monitor if you include ab ripper x. Go hard baby!

I burned A LOT of calories doing P90X. I recorded all of the workouts as cardio so that I could include the calories. On days like Plyo I would sometimes burn up to 1200 calories. I wear a HRM. Unless you wear a HRM you will not get an accurate count for your calories, anything else is just an estimate and we are all different. My HRM was my best investment for my weight loss goals to date. It really helps you gauge what you are doing.

It's approx. 765 or less, depending on your current muscle mass. More muscle, more cals burned.

I'm on day 46 of P90X Lean, I feel like I must be a slacker - LOL. I always wear my HRM during workouts and I never burn over 400 calories. It depends on the day of the workout and how long that days program is but I'd say I average about 300 calories per workout. I'm 5'0" tall and weigh 142 (my goal is 125ish). I've only lost 7lbs since I started but I don't follow the diet program because it seemed too complicated to me. I just log all my food on myfitnesspal. I know that I've lost several inches in the first 30 days I lost 2" in my waist and 2" in my hips and I also lost 1% body fat according to my scale.
