Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred

I started it last week. When I started I just logged it as general circuit training for 20 minutes. It's a similar type of cardio-strength circuit that my trainer does and she told me to log my workouts with her as circuit training.

Over the weekend, I got a HRM and found I don't burn as many calories at the general circuit training lists in MFP, so I've been going in and manually lowering the calories burned a bit.

I use my HRM. Love it!!!

I have seen this calculation posted before. You can use it to figure your burn and create your own exercise (My Exercises) for it.

30 day shred calorie burn - 3.267 calories burnt per pound every hour. Multiply by weight to get how many calories per hour you would burn and divide by 3 to get each 20 minute work out. ~ taken from Jillian Michaels website

However, I just use 20 mins of circuit training - general since it's real close.

That's pretty good. I was logging 200 calories burned based on taking the average of my HR. And doing that calculation gives me 201.

Alot of people ask me how many calories do you burn on Jillian Micheal 30 day shred... well I say get a heart rate montior to really track your burn and calories. Also you have to input her exercises into MFP one by one. What I do is look at the video on you tube and write down the names of the exercises and how long she is doing it. Jillian makes alot of her exercises up so they have names that MFP is not up on so this is where you estimate or get a heart rate monitor to help you determine the calories burn. Its a job but if you do it the night before you start its already in your MFP and all you have to do is press select and check when you complete that work out. I did that for 30 day shred and her Killer buns and thighs. A lot of calories can be burned doing the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. In fact, reports indicate that in just 20 minutes of doing the program you can burn off about 200 calories. This number, however, does change depending on your level of fitness. The Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred is designed to burn a lot of calories and increase muscle strength. The program is an interval training system that implements cardio exercise, strength training and core strengthening. The program is high intensity and designed to burn off the calories needed to lose weight. Each of the intervals is short and powerful, ranging between one and three minutes in length. First, you may spend a couple of minutes doing a warm-up, then three minute intervals of strength training combined with cardiovascular exercises. The program increases your heart rate when done correctly, gets your blood pumping, and promotes perspiration. Once you start sweating and breathing heavily, you will know that you are burning calories. The number of calories burned depends on your level of fitness. If you are fit 155 pound male, you can expect to burn between 160-175 calories in 20 minutes. However, if you are an unfit 255 pound male, you may not burn as many calories. This is especially true for beginners, but the harder you work, the more calories you will burn. Before you know it the pounds will be falling off. Good luck.. I have 6 more days to go before moving on to her Ripped in 30! #teamfitandsexy

I've completed day 9 of the 30ds level 2 and I'm anxious and nervous about level 3. It's been tough but I've stuck with it....I'm on vacation the next two weeks starting Monday so it's not going to be feasible for me to start level 3 until I get back. In the meantime, I'll have to substitute with other things I can do without hand weights.

Hello People

I'm on Day 5 of Level one of 30DS. I consider myself reasonably fit, but this has really pushed me, particularly in cv terms. I spin and do Kettlecise, can throw an 8kg weight in class but this is another step in the right direction. I can see and feel my shape changing already! Hopefully tomorrow should be easier. I'm on a mission to hit target by end of November, 33 pounds gone and 14 to go. Have been in a plateau since July so have switched from Slimming World to good old calories in and calories out. Let's see what the scales bring this weekend! ????

The 30 day shred is considered circuit training. I searched for circuit training within My Fitness Pal and used that number for calories burned. Hope this helps.
