    Any of you can 'add it yourself' to the list if you want your exercise to be posted AS 30 Day Shred... do the search for exercise and under the empty search results box there's a line stating ..

    "can't find what you're looking for? add to the database"

    For clarity that adds to your PERSONAL list of exercises, so if you added it of course it'll come up in a search for cardio... but your 30day shred doesn't come up in my results. "We" as users don't have the calorie burn formula to contribute allowing MFP to calculate the burn for other users based on our entry alone.

    Circuit training in the database is an entry that represents workouts that combine cardio and strength in the same workout... so things like 30 day shred, insanity, p90x etc could be tracked as it. It doesn't "matter" the name they give something, fitness is a multi-billion dollar industry, they've got to give things a new name once in a while, so nothing wrong with picking a generic exercise that covers what the workout is if you don't have a Heart Rate Monitor.

    zumba is marketed for the wii and via their own infomercial as "dancing" which is in the database

    @shoecrazy...HRM stands for heart rate monitor. I have a Polar that I've been using for a little over a year now and won't exercise without it. :)

    Do the majority of you use your own free weights at home for this? Or do it at the gym? What kind of weights do I need? (I'm looking at purchasing the shred or the ripped.)

    You can do the shred for free on youtube. I use my own weights at home.

    Are you trying to lose weight at this point? If so I wouldn't log it. I don't think it is enough of a calorie burn to log, i.e. eat back the calories burned. If you're trying to lose weight I'd just eat the regular amount of calories and think of it as bonus calories burned. If I would guess I would say 100-120 calories. I've done all 3 levels and I don't believe you work out long enough at enough intensity to really get a big calorie burn (not saying it is a bad workout, just not real intense).

    I just started day 1 too. I didn't think it was overly intense either and was disappointed. Now, 3 hrs later, I hurt. So I must have done something right and I will stick with it! As for calculating, I've been using the Endomodo app and selecting Aerobics. I assume it's not 100% accurate but I'm hoping it's close. Good luck fellow 30 dayers and feel free to friend me!
