    I have those videos as well and wasn't quite sure how to log it either. Those videos kick my butt. Do you use a heart rate monitor to track the amount of calories you burned doing the video? I've thought about making it a new option under my cardio and just naming the options the titles of the videos and logging it that way.

    I just got a HRM and that's what I started doing. I created a manual entry called "General Workout (HRM)" and just log the time and calories in there.

    I'm not an expert, so dont take my word for it, but I was told that strength training cannot really be measured with a HRM, because it's not cardio. You may get some cardio burn from it, but the benefits are longer term than the instant burn. I think we all need to have a chat with someone who actually knows. I'm really confused with this as well.

    Those videos are designed to get your HR up and act as a combination of cardio and strength training. General weights probably don't go under the cardio section, but if you are doing circuit training or something like that where you are picking up your HR for an extended period of time could go under cardio. At least I don't see why it shouldn't.
