I will be starting Insanity tonight with my co-worker.
I'm very excited and nervous haha

Just wondering how you input the workout information into MFP.

Thanks in advance for your help.

    I have a heart rate monitor so I added by hand - each individual workout with my calorie burn for that particular dvd. I think people use "circuit training" and "high impact aerobics" as possible options.

    ive been using "high impact aerobics" but its definitly not accurate. i definitly need a HRM. It will be different for eveyone.

    I have a HRM and I will tell you guys that the "high impact aerobics isn't nearly as close to the calories you WILL burn if you keep your heart rate up and give it your all!! I keep my heart rate between 165 and 190 the whole time and I burn around 650 calories per 40 minutes, so my advice... Buy a HRM... Or... Look at the expected caloric burn for high impact aerobics and double it for insanity! And just create your own exercise as I have done, if anyone would like to friend me and check out my diary... It's an amazing burn! Good luck everyone!

    OK just finished Plyo Cardio Circuit. I'm 5'5", 144 pounds and my HRM said I burned 450 cals in 42 mins. Woo hoo! I

    I highly suggest a HRM if you can get one. :)

    I use my hrm and add each video as a separate workout. I'm burning around 350 calories for most of the videos, it has been going up as I'm trusting my knees more and working even harder.
