    Calisthenics maybe? Circuit training would be another guess.

    MFP uses general categories. All categories with a calorie burn guesstimate are under cardiovascular.

    Most bootcamp workouts are a hybrid of calisthenics and circuit training (i.e., bodyweight work and high-rep weighted work). Both have similar METs for a given intensity, so from a calorie standpoint it really doesn't matter.

    Our BC is non stop cardio and mixed strength training. I wore a heart rate belt/watch. I load in a manual exercise as "boot camp" as cardio and the minutes and the calories from my monitor. One hour today was 450 calories; sometimes it is 650 calories. About kills me. I wouldn't over think it. Hard to be 100% accurate.

    Todays boot camp started with Touch Down Squats, crawling planks, and caterpillar push ups. Station 2 was Ball Slam Burpees and reverse crunches. Station 3 was box jumps and windshield wipers. Station 4 was goblet squats, TRX pull ups. Twice around the circuit. I was wearing a heart rate chest strap and highest rate was 164 BPM. Average was 149. Calories burned was 451
