Right I've just ordered the 30 day shred and don't know how to work out calories used for my MFP journal. I'm 143 lbs. I haven't got a clue where to start. Any suggestions or advice would great. Thanks

    Mine just arrived on Friday! It's a great work out.

    There is no entry on this site for that work out so I have been logging it as circuit which seems to be what most people do. I know others have a heart rate monitor which is much more accurate so maybe try that if you can pick one up for a reasonable price. Good luck with it!

    The advice given to me was to log the shred as circuit training :smile:

    I'm doing Bob Harper's DVD series, and I'm just making my own entry (you have the option). Right now I'm using healthstatus.com and entering the minutes I do something, then adding that into my own workout log. Once I get my heart rate monitor, I'll use those calories. Plan to do the same thing with Jillian's DVDs in the future.

    I log it as circuit training as well... Does anyone that is doing 30 Day Shred Level 1 (that is between 130-150 or so pounds) have a heart rate monitor? I would be curious to see what amount of calories you are burning.

    If i do 20 minutes on my stationary bike at moderate effort the bike tells me i burn 200+ calories. The circuit training on this site says i burn 169 in 20 minutes. I understand it is not pure cardio but wonder if it is accurate.

    I was around 130-135 when I started shred and was burning around 200-250 cals. I logged it as circuit training. Getting a HRM is really the best thing you can do to accurately track your calories, that way you know how many you ca EAT!:bigsmile:
