in Fitness and Exercise
So I'm doing P90X and I don't have a single clue where to begin logging those calories, considering how it's an hour long excercise video, with multiple excercises in each. Any suggestions? (And I tried already simply typing in P90X into the excercise search bar, no luck :-/)

    Perhaps work out roughly how many minutes aerobic/cardio and how many minutes strength training and log seperately?

    The only thing you can use that might even be close would be "Circuit Training- General." I strongly recomend getting a good HRM w/ chest strap if you want to be accurate with your exercise calories. I am in my 9th week of Insanity, and the HRM was a great investment. MFP was under calculating my calories burned substantially.

    And most important, good luck with P90X...that video set scares the hell out of me!!!

    Buy a heart rate monitor...that is much more accurate as to how many calories you are burning than any database anyway.

    Most people I have asked use the circuit training general category

    Thanks guys! Let me tell you something man, I've heard that insanity aint no joke either! But man P90X is absolutely NO joke....I've never been smoked so quickly, and man I'm ready to pop smoke 30 minutes in, but after 5-6 days you start seeing results and you find yourself pushing your self and keeping up....It's INTENSE! Thanks guys for the suggestions, looks like my next paycheck I'm getting a heart rate monitor it is! :D
