I lost weight 2 years ago (about 35 pds) but gained most of it back, so I gotta get back in shape.. Doing the 30 day shredder Level 1 with 5pd weights in each hand.. I'm 5' 7 and about 180pds, trying to get back to 155.. I don't have monitor so I'm trying to figure out how much to put down since I started on Monday.. I'm thinking 165 calories burned but not sure.. Any idea or help?? Thanks!
Sorry if this has been asked lots of times..

    If you search online there is a calculator for it. I think on Jillian's website. It's something like 1.2 calories per pound. It's obviously a rough estimate

    Hi
    I'm doing the shred too.. i am 5ft1 and 121lbs.. i wear a HRmonitor and doing level 1 with 2.3 kg weights... i usually burn 147cals for the 27 min session.. hope this helps and good luck
    ps.. i would imagine you would burn a little more than 165 as you are taller and lifting heavier wts during the session

    I've read online that the shred usually burns 200- 250 calories. I am a shredder myself, and I usually record it as circuit training. A good heart monitor will take all the guess work out though. I'm going to have to order one online myself. It's hard to know exactly without it! Good luck to you!
