I am doing P90x3, how can I log my activity?

Will the Fitbit ever have the Beachbody workouts loaded into the Activity section?  I don't feel I am able to accurately account for the calories burned.

I can't find any evidence of this in the help files, but my suspicion is that the activities list only contains those activities that have an established MET value.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolic_equivalent

 

p90x is not likely to have an established MET value.  If you think the aerobics or circuit training options are too low, you can create a custom activity and put in your own value.  I'd caution against doing that, however, unless you are using a heart rate monitor to get an accurate estimate of calories burned.

 

Or...you could not worry about it.  Why do you *need* the logged calories to be accurate?  Are you following the p90x nutrition guide?  Or tracking calories with fibit?  What harm will come if your log too few calories burned?

You could wear a heart rate monitor that records colories burned for your workout session. Then you can log it on the activity tracker. If you don't have a heart rate monitor, a simple Google search should give you a rough estimate of calories burned. 

Example of Google search: <workout name> calories burned.

Interesting breakdown. I would have guessed The Warrior would be more than The Challenge.

Yes, sorry! I'm sure it is.. I think I cut some calories off The Warrior when I logged it because I had to modify. I have to workout in my apartment on the seond floor right now. Can't go high impact! As soon as the weather gets reasonable, I will be back working out on my porch and I can go full on... and it will absolutely be higher in caloric output than the challenge!

Lol, I was wondering about this as the Warrior is pretty tough.
