Crossfit Activity

Hello!  Does anyone know how to track crossfit workout activity with the Fitbit Flex?

I use a heart rate monitor.  In the past I used a garmin/watch combo and manually updated on the website.  Recently, I bought a bluetooth version (Wahoo Blue) that uploads heart rate and calories burned to my iPhone - the app automatically uploads the data to my fitbit dashboard.

There was recently a study looking at calorie burn during a crossfit workout. I generally use those estimates and the length of the workout. The article claimes women burn roughly 12 cal/min and men burn roughly 20 cal/min. Here is the link to the news article.
