    That series of exercises is copyrighted and trademarked. I doubt they will be added any time soon.

    However, you can choose to log pre-loaded exercises under Cardiovascular that provide similar activities, such as aerobics, that use the metabolic equivalent of tasks (METs) to estimate Calories burned per minute. The greater the METs factor, the greater amount of estimated Calories burned per minute for a person's body weight. The METs factors provide estimates for a general population and an individual user's Calorie burn rate may be different.

    METs - Activity
    4.0 - Water aerobics, water calisthenics
    4.8 - Dancing, aerobic, ballet or modern, twist
    5.0 - Aerobics, low impact
    6.0 - Teaching aerobics class
    6.5 - Aerobics, general
    7.0 - Aerobics, high impact
    8.5 - Aerobics, step, with 6-8 inch step
    10.0 - Aerobics, step, with 10-12 inch step
