hi I've been doing the 7 minute workout app but can't figure out how to log it in my diary. Any ideas?

It won't matter. At 7 minutes it's going to be good for a negligible amount of calories0

It's going to be under 100 calories. That said, just keeping it intense will help with fitness results.

I don't think anyone was fishing for more calories. I think karlabogle was just looking for guidance on how to enter accurately. Further, it's probably dangerous to use the "round down" rule in a calorie counting app (e.g., "10 chips won't matter, it's probably <100 calories").
I'd probably use the "Strength training" option for something like the 7 minute workout. I don't think it has enough aerobic activity to be comparable to a Les Mills BODYPUMP. Further, if you enter it in as 7 minutes (or more as you get to higher levels in the app), it'll give an appropriately low calorie count. However, strength training will have long-term benefits, so I'd avoid be too obsessed with the calories and keep up with 7-minute workout--perhaps supplementing with some jogging for the calories so that you can snack more.0 -
If it's literally only 7 minutes, you could probably pick any exercise option and be in the correct ballpark.0

Correct.
I did look it up, though. More because I had to know if somebody actually created a real 7 Minute Abs workout than anything. It appears to be bodyweight exercises. I'd probably use one of the calisthenics entries to log it.0 -

Wow, it isn't a matter of one end of the spectrum or the other. It just seemed like such a "poo on you" comment.......trust me, I'm a member of the "poo on you" comment club, so I know one when I see one.
500 calories, no, not at all.......but perhaps something more helpful than "It won't matter."0 -

Leave it up to you whether to log it as 7 minutes vigorous or light/moderate0 -

lead by example. feel free to provide the most helpful comment the english language is capable of constructing to convey the importance of logging ~65 calories worth of exercise. because for my own workouts, I wouldn't log it. because it won't matter. it might be something to help me get in shape be the calories don't matter.
but please, show me how it's done.0 -

Yep. That totally helped the OP there. So much more than Dave's pointing out that 7 minutes doesn't really matter enough to log the burn because....it doesn't.0 -

I already did my part to help the OP.......now I'm attempting to help DavPul. Despite my explosive perfection, lifting people up and rising them to my ranks takes 1-on-1 attention.
Now wait your turn.0 -

Holy crap jofjltncb6, short, simple, to the point.
Please write a book and sell it to some of those who are hating on me, for who knows what reason. I come to the defense of the OP and now I'm the a**hole.
As evidenced by my posts above, I can play the role quite nicely.0
