I am not following the whole disk set, there are a few work outs I like to do here and there, and I am also working out at the gym, I've found that perfect routine that works my body and is showing results, so you ask what is the problem? How do I properly log my calories burned from P90X- I don't own a HRM (maybe it's time to invest?) and I find online and in the book each session is about 600 cals?? Any pointers would help THANKS! ![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)

You can't go off a book as your intensity and weight have a factor. The best thing to do is invest in a HRM. I love mine! It gives an accurate reading of what you actually burn.0

I'm having the same issue with logging my exercise doing the Insanity dvd's.0

Stupid question but whats an HRM?0

Everyone is different...You will need to get a 'Heart Rate Monitor' (HRM)...Now, it just depends on what kind you want and how much you're willin' to spend...best wishes xo0

it's a Heart Rate Monitor. It monitors your heart rate through out your work outs and tells you how many calories you have burned. Get one with a chest strap! I have a polar FT4 and i love it!0

As other have said, you need a Heart Rate Monitor and then they are really only good for cardio workouts. The algorithm most use is not very accurate for resistence training. I don't even wear mine doing the P90X resistance workouts, only for cardio.
When I do Plyometrics, I burn 740 calories on average with a max HR of 170 and ave. of 138 or so.
I have friends that burn upwards of 90o at roughly the same weight as me but have higher max hr and ave hr.

Time to invest in an HRM. I was reading my Turbo Fire guides yesterday, and it said the "average" burn for a work out is around 650 cals. Being that each workout is pretty different, I bought an HRM just to be sure. I burned not quite 300 cals this morning. I would have been way off if I went by the book.0

A Heart Rate Monitor is the only way to be even slightly accurate - calories burned will be dependent on how hard you "bring it" each day0

I love using my hart rate monitor. It lets me know more accuratly how much I burn0
