    Do you have a heart rate monitor? That would be the most accurate way to log it.

    No I don't. Was looking to put it under HIIT but don't see that as a choice?

    Before I got my heart rate monitor, I logged it as circuit training, general. Be careful thought because after I started using my heart rate monitor I noticed that I was burning about 100 calories less then it I was originally logging.

    Before I got my heart rate monitor, I found peeps on MFP who were similar size/age/athletic ability/etc. (and who had HRM's for accuracy) to me and based my estimate of calories burned off theirs.

    Good luck. :smile:

    I'm only on day 6 and have been logging it a 23 minutes of circuit training. If there's a general consensus of what it should be logged in, I'll change it up.

    Just add it as a new exercise - call is 30DS or whatever you want to call it - to calculate roughly without a HRM

    30 day shred calorie burn - 3.267 calories burnt per pound every hour. Multiply by weight to get how many calories per hour you would burn and divide by 3 to get each 20 minute work out. ~ taken from Jillian Michaels website

    Here's what I have read on this topic at MFP:
    Log 26 minutes of circuit training-general.
    Try using fitnowtrainig.com
    Most people say they once they a HR monitior they realize they are highly overlogged for this exerise program

    I just use the Search tab. Enter 'JM 30 Shred how to log'. This will all be there.
    Good Luck!

    I wouldn't consider the 30 DS to be a steady state cardio exercise so even if you were using a HRM your readings are not going to be accurate.

    This works out good I think

    If you're serious about getting into regular exercise and not over-estimating your burn, this is the only way to go. A decent Polar heart rate monitor is about $100. I LOVE mine.
