I am new to this site. I use the Leslie Sansone Walk at Home DVDs. Each of her miles are about 15 minutes. There is the walking in place, forward and backwards, side to side and knee lifts; she also involves the arms. So my question is how to i count it as activity? Do i choose walking or low impact aerobics? If walking do i choose 3.5 mph brisk pace? Thanks for your help.

    I use her workout DVDs also. I love them!!! She is great!! I put mine in under high impact aerobics- I read a blog a couple weeks ago on here where another girl had a HRM and it was pretty close when she entered hers in under high impact aerobics. Now when I do them when she is walking I run in place and pump my arms even harder! Good luck on your weight loss, if you need a person for encouragement I am here! - Heather

    I use the same video and count it as low impact aerobics because of the variety of arm and leg movements.

    Yes, as the girl said above... tested it out and my HRM calories are the same as the high impact choice. I do her videos 3 times a day.... they are great!!!!

    If you really dig down deep on the few steps, and add a bounce to the kicks and so on... at least for me, my HRM is the same as MFP's high impact level :)
