Does anyone work out with the total gym? How do you track calories burned?

    I would suggest a heart rate monitor if you want to be super accurate but otherwise, log what you can. Most things can be found in the MFP database, sit ups, push ups, stretching, strength training, those are all in the database. Everything else I just treat as bonus that can level out any errors. Just keep track of how long you worked out, and what you did. Then log it when you get done. :)
