Beachbody Calories Burned Question

The beachbody workouts are not listed in the database on MFP. What activity do any of you use to key in the cloest calorie burned for these workouts? I do not have a device yet that will track how many calories I'm burning during these workouts. I'm still confused on what will be a good device to use for this. I just want something that will let me know how many calories I'm burning with these DVD's. A lot of the workouts I do are intense "HIIT" workouts.

    Unfortunately until you get a HRM it's going to be a guess. I'm waiting on my HRM to come in the mail and I'm doing the P90X program right now. It can be pretty intense so I just manually put in about 400 cals burned which I think should be close.

    Forgive me for sounding dumb on this, but a HRM is what I should be looking for that will tell me how many calories I'm burning?

    If so, what kind did you purchase?

    Thanks

    Yes, look for a heart rate monitor that gives you the amount of calories you burned. It should be able to input your info(sex, age, weight). Polar seems to be a good brand. I have had a F7 but now I have the F4 and I like it better.

    I didn't go with a very expensive HRM cause I have heard how they can break down easy. I went with the Pyle Heart Rate Monitor Watch W/Maximum/Average Heart Rate and Calorie Counter. I got it off ebay for less than $30, it has some good reviews and should do fine for just my P90X workouts.
