I just got done with the first night of p90x. Really kicked my a@$. Anyway, is that not under the excersise portion anywhere so put in for the calorie burn. Or is it just a general circuiit training

    Depending on your fitness level you will burn on average 600 calories for P90X. I would recommend getting a HRM for your cardio routines to be more accurate. It's harder to determine on your strength workouts but I averaged 500-600 calories.

    Good Job on getting through your first day! Keep it up and you will love your results.

    Woo Hoo! Awesome job. I am on day 31. i just put it under aerobics or general circuit training. I would rather input too less of calories that I burned than accidentally putting in more...so I don't overeat.

    Awesome! I remember my first day...it was ugly lol. I would definitely get a heart rate monitor that tracks calories burned. It can be significantly different for each person. I just got an inexpensive one at Walmart over a year ago and it works great! Good luck on your P90X journey!

    The Average they used when doing the test was 300-600....so a BIG BIG swing...I'm sure I burn more than 350-400, but that's what I usually put.

    I'm on week 4 of P90X and I'm using a HRM. I'm burning just over 600 calories for each workout on days 1,3,5 of each week not including the ABRipper part. Abripper is another 150 calories.

    Most people don't complete the program,. A lot do, but most don't.
