    Good morning eveyone,

    How are you guys accounting for the calories burned for this workout? Is anyone using a HRM? Or do you choose a certain exercise type for this like circuit training?

    I wondered the same thing! After a bit of research, i found this link http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp?exercise=64
    i hope it helps...

    THANKS!

    So stoked for this! Thanks to everyone who are supporting the cause! It's so much easier to be motivated when there is a large group cheering eachother on. Thanks to our CHALLENGE MOTIVATOR, for setting it all up! I'm ready to be a hot mama!!! SUMMER HERE I COME!

    Current Weight: 140.8
    Goal Weight: 132 (by the end of this)
    Waist: 34 1/2
    Goal 32 1/2
    Chest: 40 (OMG....)
    Goal: 38

    Okay, these are the most current measurements... I am stunned to see this but I know I can do it!

    What a great idea! I was planning on restarting the 30 days shred today anyway! I kind of stalled around level 2 day 8 last times and it's been about 3 weeks, so i'm guessing I should just restart to be ready for level 3. I will likely throw in some fast fix kickboxing on days I don't run. YAY! I'm so excited, hoping this group will keep me motivated to get through the whole 30 days this time!!

    I used my HRM to capture the calories burned and created the exercise under Cardio but titled it 30 DS Strength & Cardio.

    I'm doing Shred It with Weights every day! I started this one a few weeks ago, and have slowly worked up to doing it daily. It tends to aggravate an old back injury, so there have been days I've had to skip it! I already did a round this morning. Now it's time to study (I'm into my finals for this semester). After my exam this evening, I'm going to try to get in some 6 Week 6 Pack.

    This is a great group! I love Jillian Michaels and I have most of her DVD's.

    Today I will be doing Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, it is one of my favorites! I just got my HRM in so I am excited to see how many calories I will burn.

    I purchased an HRM to account from my calories that I burned.

    good luck everyone...sounds like y'all are on the mark for this! i'm going to the gym after work and then i'll do 30DS when i get home...

    i'm like another poster mentioned...i can't even do a reg push up and can barely get through those side lunges...i'm such a light weight when it comes to that! (-:

    happy monday!

    Just finished my 30DS level 1!! Hopefully I can build some gusto to get a walk or some cardio in later today, but at least I got my JM one!! Good luck everyone! WE CAN DO IT :)

    I also took my measurements, weight and pictures today. I'm hoping to see lots of inches lost by the end of the 30 days!

    Doing the 30 Day Shred on level 1. I started it yesterday d/t my work schedule and I found out that I don't hurt as bad today like I did a week ago when I did it for one day and could barely walk the next. I also bought myself an Elliptical and I think that is helping with the leg discomfort. I am so pumped!!

    I will be doing 30DS day 4 level 1 tonight when I get home. I like to try and do it in the morning but with people still sleeping in the house, and my lack of coordination I try not to wake anyone up. After 30 DS I either go for a walk with the family or hit the gym for at least half an hour.....Then I'm tired...LOL...Even day 3 of DS was kicking my butt, however Im noticing I can do more without stopping !! This HAS to work, my wedding dress depends on it...LOL

    Just did day 1, level 1 of 30 Day Shred. Followed that up with 1.44 miles on my treadmill. Not sore yet, but I'm sure I will be tomorrow! :laugh:

    Also making better eating choices today, so I'm loving this challenge so far! :smile:

    Doing her Beginner : frontside and backside DVD. Today was backside. I've been doing this one since just before Easter (it was my Easter present for me!) Hoping to buy a tape measure today so I can post measurements and watch them change!


    I talk to her during the workout, does that make me weird? Lol!

    Just finished my first day of 6-week, 6-pack. It was pretty good, although I prefer a little more cardio. But my core (after four babies) is weak, so I know it's good for me. We'll see if I can use my stomach muscles tomorrow! Now the fun?! of deciding what JM DVD to use tomorrow!

    I am excited to get off work and kick off day 1 of this challenge. It's going to be tough going for me - I haven't had a regular workout routine in ages. I am new to the site and these boards and I am hoping that the support on here will keep me motivated! Wish me luck!
