    I added it into my exercise tracker using info. I found online. Not sure if I added it to the system, I could try. I'm counting it as 180 calories for 20 mins on level 1. Hope this helps!

    I just put it in as Aerobics, General...I think it was about 140 calories. I'd rather underestimate...but I've gotta tell ya. I hurt!!! LOL!

    You can log it as circuit training. Have fun with 30DS!

    Me, too, but I'm on day 6 and it does hurt a little less. A little.

    I am doing the Jillian Michaels ripped in 30 and my HRM says that at level 1 for 20 minutes I burn between 254- 290 calories. I am at day 5 of level one. I would assume that both workouts are comparable. But just to give you an idea.

    I used my HRM because MFP wasnt accurate (I actually burned more than it stated) and different days I would burn different amounts. I live by my HRM now.

    I just started on this site today and love it! About 24 minutes ago I looked up JM 30 Day Shred in the excercise log and didn't find any info. Did the DVD. Came back to check the forum and see if anyone else had figured it out and "wallah"...you all have the info!
    I can tell this board/forum is going to help me finally start shedding some weight! Thank you!

    I was burning over 250 on my 30dshred. A heart rate monitor is your best bet.

    i use this website to roughly calculate calories burned for common exercise DVDs. they have a pretty big database. still not as accurate as a HRM, but it works for me!

    I am doing Ripped as well and have done The Shred.... using my HRM. I burn more in Ripped, even tho the shred felt more difficult!

    I have added both to my workouts. I don't know if it adds them to the data base or not.

    I am starting this today, I don't have a HRM but is a circuit training calculation close to what anyone was reading on their HRM? I am totally nervous it's going to kick my butt! I've started it twice before but given up after the second day, hoping for the willpower to get through it this time!

    I get a 12+ calorie difference when I use MFP's circuit training (general) calculation. My HRM estimates my calorie burn to be between 200-210 kcal.

    I'm using a free trial of the Jillian Michaels web site and it calculates calories burned for each of her dvds. The 30 day shred level 1 is about the same as the circuit training. Level 2 is about 50-60 more per 30 mins. Level 3 is about 30 calories more than level 1.

    Yes, this. I found the MFP circuit training entry was overestimating calories burned by almost double for me.

    Wow...almost double? Looks like I will have to start being more careful with my calorie allowance for the day. Thanks!

    ^^^^ HRM would be the best way to figure out how many cals your burning.

    I use my HRM - I only get 180-190 per session on level 1.

    Level 1 of 30DS I burn about 160-170, level 2 180-190 per my HR monitor AND I'm doing the whole thing, not taking breaks.

    I just searched it and it came up for me "Jillian Michaels 30 day shred" :)

    Hi,
    I'm trying to log level 1 as well, but I couldn't find it.
    I've never logged exercise so I'm probably not very good at it :tongue:

    I searched both in "cardio" and "strength training" database but nothing came up.
    How exactly did you add it? Thanks!

    circuit training is your best bet if you aren't using a HR monitor to add it in.

    with the Jillian Michaels workout do you do level 1 for 30 days then move on to level 2?
  • lar4290

    It's 10 days at each level (so 10 at level 1, 10 at level 2, etc.).

    I use a HRM and I've gotten anywhere between 180 and 260 for how hard I try. When I do it intensely and have it on for a cool down (heart rate still elevated), it's usually about 250. That's 26-27 minutes total.

    I'm short - 5' 0", 125 lbs, so taller people may be burning more.

    Also, I'd definitely recommend the heart rate monitor. Even if it isn't entirely accurate, just seeing the difference day to day helps you push harder. After doing it a few times, I set my goal to burn 70-80 calories in each circuit and I can keep my pace by glancing down every 3 mins or so. Really helps the workout.

    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.)

    as others have said i was adding it as circuit training, BUT it adds on more calories than i've actually calculated using my HRM. I'm 5'1.5" and 105 lbs, and I burn about 123-130 calories doing 30DS level 1.

    kristinasyoun - there's a relatively cheap 30DS kit on amazon that includes a mat and two 3-lbs weights. i use those.
