Insanity

How do I log the insanity workouts under exercise here on myfitnesspal? I have been using high impact aerobics, but i feel like it doesn't cover the calories burned.

Any ideas?

    I log it under circuit training, but I use a heart rate monitor to get an accurate reading. I always burn way more than the default number it gives for the number of minutes. Haven't tried high impact aerobics, so I don't know how it compares. Of course, everyone is different, so a HRM is really the best way to go if you have the money to get one. I use a Polar FT7, around $100-110.

    Edit: Just compared high impact aerobics and it's even lower. For 45 minutes, it gives like 325 calories. For a 45 minute or so Insanity workout, I typically burn 550-600.

    I log it as "circuit training", too. I don't have a heart rate monitor.

    First go under circuit training. Then try to enter the name of the workout that you did. There is an option at the bottom that you can enter the name, the time, and calories burned.
