How many calories burnt in a 15 min Joe Wicks HIIT workout?

I'm finding fitness pal isn't great for recording a lot of exercises. For home workout dvds the only thing I've been able to find is 'wii'... don't know if I being stupid but it's getting annoying that I can't put in my HIIT sessions and know roughly how many calories I've burnt.
I've been doing Joe Wicks fit in 15... 5 times a week but haven't been able to record any of it in my diary. Can anyone give me a rough idea of calories burnt please?

    You can just log it as a regular HIIT workout.

    For what it's worth, HIIT doesn't burn a lot of calories. It's useful for improving your anaerobic system and training yourself to recover more quickly from hard efforts, that's what it's for.

    Think about the type of activity rather than the brand name or media format.

    I google calculators and run several and take a lower than average result (I’d rather underestimate than overestimate). Then input manually. Try to use ones that ask for more details than others. I also found a formula for HIIT specifically somewhere that you can do with your weight, average heart rate during, time spent doing, etc. Can’t remember but I could probably find it again

    Strictly speaking, HIIT is not a type of exercise. HIIT (high-intensity interval training) is an exercise pacing strategy: Hard effort alternated with easier effort, repeatedly.

    You can do HIIT on a bike, HIIT running, HIIT rowing, HIIT calisthenics, and more. When you log it, log it as the exercise type (biking, running, rowing, calisthenics, or whatever the activity type actually is).
