    Maybe use a Heart rate monitor? (I have never tried one)

    I have found that VERY GENERALLY if I am out of breath and sweating, I'm burning around 100 calories every 10 minutes. And I'm fairly fit and not over weight now. I burned more (closer to 150) when I was overweight.

    I think you could probably also safely use the "circuit training" estimate here on MFP.

    This wouldn't be accurate for this type of workout.

    Input as cardio or aerobics class, possibly circuit training. It'll be close enough

    Wouldn't it be relatively steady state cardio?

    Closer to HIIT. Bouts of frenetic action interspersed with lighter activity while you recuperate for another round of action. The hrm will incorrectly read the spikes
