How to Get Cathe Workouts on MFP

[jaypea]

Hi! After I became friends with some members from here, on Myfitnesspal, I noticed that some people are able to list their workouts by name. For example, it says, "So and so burned ____ calories by doing Afterburn." How do I do that? When I use MFP, I don't see the option to put my own exercises in. I'd love to list my Cathe workouts on MFP. If you know how to do this, please let me know. Thanks!

I post Cathe workouts to MFP this way and it is easy. I use the complete compendium calories. Are they pretty accurate?

I use a HR monitor!

Does your calories burned generally line up with the compendium calories burned? I'm thinking of getting a HRM, don't have one right now, any suggestions?
