I just started yesterday, and I'm curious how you're logging it into MFP.

    Alright thanks! I don't have a heart rate monitor, but I guess I could just go with circuit training... maybe i'll underestimate a little just to be safe :)

    I do and i use my hrm (heart rate monitor) if u used the insanity booklet to figure your daily calories u don't eat the calories burned back so I don't log mine in my exercise but post them on my profile so my calories don't say I am under everyday.

    hey i'm on week 2 day 2 of insanity. i use a polar ft7 hrm and i just log it in manually with the calories according to my hrm. highly suggest you get a good hrm for insanity! it helps u push even harder if your heart rate isn't as up as it's supposed to. good luck! =]

    I'm starting Week 2 tomorrow. I have an HRM and I manually add the exercise and calories burned. I advise getting an HRM as well if you can swing it. MFP is not very accurate (I've found). I have a Polar FT4 that I got through Bodytronics.com for 'bout $60. Super fast delivery and very easy to set up.

    Yep- as the other posters have said, a HRM will be your best bet :)

    I completed it about 3 weeks or so ago and I used a hrt monitor. Before that I was logging it as about 600 cal.

    each day u will burn differently. i go from about 200 for the recovery day first month to almost 600 on the days u have to do the two workouts on month one.
