do you still log level 2 as general circuit training for 20 mins? I was told to do that for level 1 and wasn't sure if I should just do the same?

    I'm on Level 3 - I've logged each level the same, I put 25 mins circuit training, which is 203 cals for me.

    all i did was make my own exercise called 30 day shred, and use a HRM to post my calories.. but otherwise i'd think to use the same logging.

    My calories burnt didn't differ much between 1 and 2, for warm up, three circuits and cool down i always burn about 140-150 calories.

    see when I log circuit training-general, I burn 296 for 20 mins... is that not right?!

    it depends on your weight and how high your heart rate gets, i weigh "about" 150 pounds, and 20 years oold, avarage heart rate is 148 during the exercise.

    only with a HRM can you know for sure, but it seems a bit high for me

    Depends on your weight - according to mfp - the cals I burn go down as my weight does - I'm 133lb.

    this is why logging any exercise without HRM is so difficult. I burn 213 on Shed L2, if I'm not working out as intensily I can burn only 200 even. it depends.In my personal opinion, if I wasn't sure, i'd say better safe than sorry and log it as lower, especially if u eat all ur exercise calories back. It's so difficult :frown:

    I am approx 230 pound and I have a hrm. When I do the shred I burn between 250 - 257 cals. So in my case mfp is higher. Oh and I am 34
