circuit training?

specifically an aerobic weight training video

i feel like it burns weigh more calories than "weight training" but it's not just cardio either...

i'm getting an HRM, but haven't ordered it yet, so in the meantime, trying to estimate as best i can using the MFP database

    Which Firm video is it? I usually log it as circuit training unless I'm doing a cardio one, then I just log it as aerobics.

    Depending on which dvd I am doing, sometimes I use circuit training and sometimes I actually enter the different segments separately...

    for example:
    step using 6-8 inch step: 15 minutes
    step using 8-10 inch step: 6 minutes
    low-impact aerobics: 10 minutes
    etc., etc...

    It was cardio sculpt from BSS1.

    And I did split it up by the time from the step segments, and the aerobic segments. But the majority of the workout is weightlifting, but it is a quick pace... switching lower and upper body, and sometimes doing 4 limb work... I felt like my heart rate was up the entire time, unlike with traditional weight lifting where you do a set, then rest, set, rest....etc...
    So that's why I was thinking that would be more like circuit training.
