Does anyone know how many calories are burned with the P90X exercises?

    The P90X literature says you can burn an average of about 600 calories per workout, but that will vary GREATLY from person to person. It would be wise to invest in a heart rate monitor if you want a fairly accurate estimate of what YOU burn during each workout. It could be significantly more or less than what Beachbody says is average.

    From their website it says approximately 600 calories per workout. Of course this changes depending on your intensity with it. Good luck with p90x!

    Thanks! I will have to pick up a heart rate monitor. I have been doing it for a couple of days now and I have never been so sore in my life!

    You need to use a heart rate monitor.

    Go to Exercise tab, then enter P90X Cardio X, a message will pop up that says it's not in the database, towards the bottom of the screen click on: Can't find what you're looking for? Add an exercise to the database. Then add in the name, time, and calories burned.

    Heart Rate Monitor is a must. You'll be very glad you got it when you know exactly how many calories you are burning.
