    I did the best I could for that day. I have also been doing the 20min video and my muscles have been killing! I am going to do the 40 minute video again today and I will let you know what my monitor says.

    I'm about 10lbs heavier, but I did the whole video with my monitor and I burned about 830 calories. My max heart rate was in the 180s and for most of it I was in the high 150s.

    How are you intereing this into your exercise log? I do the 30 day shred and just enter it as a circuit training... for 25 minutes. However I have no idea how many calories I burn.

    Yeah, I've been entering it as circuit training, but I thought that it couldn't possibly be correct since it was much more difficult than doing the elliptical and I burn so much on the elliptical. I think that mfp doesn't calculate it properly bc a lot of these dvds also use cardio to get your hr up. I'm going to log it as 650 calories bc I think that's probably closer to the true calorie burn than 500.
