I am having difficulty finding exercises in the database that match my workouts. I am doing both P90X and Brazilian workout, and often have trouble matching exercises to log. Any help?

    I also do some of the P90X workouts every now and then and what ive done in the past is I just estimate about 300 calories for any P90X workout I do, when in doubt, under estimate calories burned from exercise. If you would like you can try and google to see how many calories people are burning during these workouts and just take an average amount from the numbers you find and use that in your entry, i hope this helped

    Thanks, that is helpful. I also just received a heart rate monitor, so I can now track my calories burned and use that to add these workouts to the database. Not sure if doing that would help others doing these workouts seeing as how it would be based in my weight, height,etc.

    I mean it may not be exact to what they are burning but it will give other people a rough idea as to how much their burning, you dont have to be exact with your exercise calories so what your doing is good

    I do P90x as well and if you have an HRM, you can create the exercises and use them over and over. They aren't saved to the DB but they are saved to your exercises.

    Select: the Exercise tab > My Exercises > Create Exercise. Name the exercise, I use P90x (Insert Workout) so I know.

    Hope it helps!

    P90X has a calculator that should help, but as for the other one, I have no idea.
