I have been doing the Jillian Michaels fat blast workout DVD and was wondering how i should log the calories. I feel like it's a high impact aerobic, but i am have to do a lot of the moves in beginner style, which my not be considered high impact. My body sure feels like it is though. =) Has anyone else done this video? How do you log the calories for it? I don't want to overestimate burned calories but don't want to short my accpmplishments either..=)

    Hi Becky -
    I did do the workout once or twice. I would consider it low impact. But not such a bad calorie burn. Better to put under estimate tehn to then to ocer estimate. Good luck and keep up the good work.:bigsmile:

    Generally better to understimate in the calories burned department.

    Becky, I just did this today ironically LOL. I log it under cardiovascular and I have a Polar P6 to tell me about calories burned. I read on another blog on this site that it was intended to burn between 500 and 600 calories per workout. If you don't have a HRM, make sure you log conservatively. Hope this helps!
