I just started the 30 Day Shred this morning and was wondering what to log it as. What do you do?

    Do you have an HRM? I would log it as circuit training then input the actual calories burned based on HRM results. Have a great day!

    I usually log it as 15 minutes of Jumping jacks but I will start logging it as circuit training.

    I go to http://www.caloriesperhour.com/index_burn.php and calculate my weight with circuit training. I love the activity calculator. Just figure it out last night.

    I'm using a Mio Drive + Petite and it gets good reviews. It is easy to use. This morning it showed 394 calories burned during Level 1. Good Luck!

    I have a Polar FT 7 with chest strap and I love it.

    Haha, I love the "grueling and painful"!! :) Page, I liked it! It didn't seem too hard today, so I think I'll go to the Y later. I have a feeling it's probably because I'm just getting started and don't have all of the exercises down correctly...like as in having the right form or whatever. But I'll get it down!! :) Thanks, Statia...I'm going to that website now! And I will also check out that HRM, thanks Nici!!

    haha log as painful..I agree hehe Iog it as circuit training and I think from e what I've come across most peeps without a hrm logg ot as the same , I've come across some that log as aerobics but I think that circuit is closer to actuall mark :) Good luck with it and have fun I started again for the second time (first round got to day 5 FAIL!!!) so I am now on day 4 of my second round today and it is so far getting eaiser I could go onto level 2 but I think I wanna hang it out and do the whole programm properly :)

    I agree totally! I would avoid stairs and I would nearly cry when I had to go potty!

    Do yourself a favor now and take measurements!! You may not see the scale move for the first two weeks but you will lose inches!

    I didn't read that until now, but I'm only on day 4, so I will take them today! Thanks :)
