Ok, I started the 30 day shred yesterday and when I went to log the exercise I did, I could not find it. Does anyone know what I need to log the exercise as on here for how many calories I burned? I did the first level on the DVD that was a 20 minute workout. (I just got it yesterday and loved it- well worth the money)

    I log it as circuit training - general

    If you have a HRM you can log it as its own exercise.

    Log it as cursiut training.

    Here's a group that is doing the shred for July. Some have just started, some are moving up the Lvl2. We'd love to have you join us.

    I started it yesterday, too! I noticed it wasn't on here so I added it myself. I use a heart rate monitor so I got the exact number of calories I burned through the workout.

    It's not on here because the calories burned are different for everyone. The best way to monitor is with a hr monitor that counts calories. I'm hopefully getting one today but for now I log it as 18 minutes of calisthenics. I noticed alot of other people also log it as circuit training.

    That's what I did. I just added my own "30 DS" catagory and use my HRM for calories burned. Good luck...my arms have been sore since I started! :tongue:

    Just fyi, I just put in 18 minutes of circuit training instead of calisthenics (like I usually use) and it's only a difference of 3 calories burned so I guess it doesn't really matter what you choose to log it as (circuit traing or calisthenics).
