How many calories burned in 30day shred workout?

Does anyone know the approx calories burned in one workout - or how to calculate it approximately. Thanks in advance :-)

I select "circuit training - general". I compared it with my HRM and it was pretty close for me (don't like wearing the HRM for the crunches etc so I don't usually wear it). However some people find it is a bit high for them. If you can use a HRM that is the best way.

If you put it in under circuit training for the length of time you do it for you should be able to caluate it on MFP!! Thats the best option if you don't have a heart rate monitor since her workout is based on circuit training!! I will be starting the 30 day shred on Sunday myself but will be using an HRM!! Good luck!!

what is an hrm? Heart rate monitor?

yeah its a heart rate monitor.
I find mfp to be pretty accurate when it comes to the 30ds! i use a hrm when doing it.

I don't have a HRM

but i looked on line and it said somewhere between 200 and 250

so i used that...and generally tried to underestimate. just to be safe.

omg...only 200-250! lol I burn about 170 with 17 mins exercycling -mind you it doesn't tone the abs and upper body!
