Resistance Bands...?

So I got a set of resistance bands and have just completed my first workout with them along with the accompanying DVD (Gold's Gym) product.

Wow! That seems like it'll be a really effective strength workout for me, and I didn't have to shell out big money for weights or a gym membership.

But how do I log it in my diary? Every strength exercise wants to know how much weight I lifted...There's nowhere for me to put "medium resistance" or "maximum resistance" (all 3 bands) when I'm entering them.

    It would help if you had a heart rate monitor becaue then you would be able to see how many calories you've burned.

    I suggest that if you use it with a DVD, then log it as circuit training general in the cardio section

    I have been using them as well since about mid July. I don't know how you are doing your workout but I actually entered them as circuit training. I incorporate cardio in with it as well. Maybe someone else can shed some more knowledge on it.

    I'm going to log it as circuit training for now. The trainer on the video does throw in cardio intervals. It's a serious workout for me...far harder than I expected.

    The wife and I are getting HRMs next paycheck so that'll help, I guess.
