    I burned like 270 in the first cardio workout. Hard to believe we can get a good workout in in 25 minutes, but i was sweating like a pig!
    Im used to burning like 500 calories though with insanity, so we'll see how this goes!

    I did 275 doing mostly modified. I've been in a workout slump for the past 2 months... amazing how quickly I've gotten out of shape! Can't wait until I can do the entire workout without using the modifier!

    I just finished my workout! He's not playing around, huh? My Polar FT4 said I burned 250 in 25 minutes. I was drenched in sweat, and I had to modify a lot towards the end. I've been working out for 3.5 months, religiously and this 25 minutes was killer! I LOVE it!

    Day 1 214 per Polar FT7
    Day 2 224 per Polar FT7

    I'm 4'11", 115 #. I've done Insanity - Fast & Furious (23 min long) and I burn 170 approx. Even though the cals burned are lower I feel like I'm getting a good workout. Went full out 100% and was drenched in sweat!

    My HRM said 400 for cardio so I suspect it's way off!

    Does your HRM have a chest strap? If so, make sure it's been adjusted to your chest to get a good read of your heart rate. Also, take a peek at the data on your watch and update your stats. If this doesn't work maybe a battery replacement.

    It has a chest strap and the heart rate seems to be right, I have always had a high heart rate anyway.

    Just seemed a high calorie burn but I don't plan on eating all my calories back anyway so won't worry too much.

    I think I burned something like 225 for Cardio, 200 for Speed 1.0, 150 for Total Body Circuit, 100 for Ab Intervals, and 200 for Lower Body Focus. I'm really out of shape, so in the workouts where I burned less, some of the moves were so tough that I either laughed or just went back to a move I COULD do instead. With that said, I'm currently on my 10th day, 4th Cardio, and it gets easier/I burn slightly more every time.

    I just got a Garmin FR70 and I used it for the first time today. it said my calories for Cardio were 170. Im drenched in sweat. Im a little disappointed. Thought it was way more than that.

    That calorie burn is great for 25 minutes. One thing you have to remember is Insanity workouts are a longer duration, therefore a bigger calorie burn! Congrats on the burn.

    My calorie burn averages 225-250 per workout. Of course doing Ab Intervals and Lower focus it's a lower calorie burn, but one thing to remember you still burn calories post workout. Those days with a lower calorie burn just watch your caloric intake a little closer. I did an experiment and ran 1.5 miles. I got more of a calorie burn doing T25 cardio in 25 minutes over my run. I just wanted to compare and I was pleased with my results. I'm in my 4th week and have lost 6 lbs and 7 inches already. This program has proven results. I feel my abs tightening and can see a difference. Keep working at it and of course nutrition plays a large role in your results. Be consistent and keep the focus. Everyone will get there.:smile:
