Introducing the P90X Calories Calculator
Use our calories calculator to get an estimate of your calories burned in P90X for each of the separate P90X workouts.
How do we calculate calories burned during P90X?

Understanding More About Calories Burned in P90X
All calorie calculators are based on averages, everyone’s body composition is different, the amount of calories burned is driven by several key factors: activity, weight, duration and intensity but is also influenced by additional factors such as fat percentage, age, temperature and pre determined genetic factors.
The most accurate way to calculate your calorie burn (outside of laboratory conditions) is to use a heart rate monitor, these too base their formulas on average metabolic rates but also plug in a constantly changing factor of your heart rate. In the absence of a heart rate monitor the P90X calorie calculator will give you an estimate based the above key factors.
Simply select your P90X workout program, enter your weight, the duration of your P90X workout and finally the intensity of your workout to get your estimate of P90X calories burned.
To select the appropriate P90X workout intensity use this simple guide to help approximate the impact on your heart rate:- Low: You could sing during your workout
- Mid: You could talk during your workout
- High: You are out of breath and could not talk during your workout

In general, it still isn’t, however, I have come to like it more than I did. Remember, the P90X in 90 Seconds workout video does not include the warm-up or cool-down. Further, the structure of this workout is such, that it repeats the exercises a second time, reversing the order of back exercises and chest exercises. I’ve only shown each exercise once:
