    I do the 30 day shred and have always just done 20 minutes of Aerobics high impact. Her program is 20 minutes and it seriously gets your heart pounding so I would call that high impact. For my height and weight it burns 144 calories in 20 minutes. It must be working because I have lost 17 lbs so far.

    Hello,

    The best thing to do is purchase a heart rate monitor. You can find them online, at big chain stores such as Wal-Mart or athletic stores such as Nike or Sportscheck. One of the best brands is Polar which is pricey but well worth it. I have a timex and it works great. With a heart rate monitor you will be able to get the exact time you worked out andthe exact number of how many calories you burned. They also help by showing you your heart rate as you work out so once you figure out your target zone you can stay within it by working out harder or slowing down your pace.
    You can check out different brands online and see what customers thought of each one.
    Hope this helps.:smile:

    Hi,
    I agree with the HRM suggestion. Until then - I usually log it as circuit training general, and that comes pretty close for me @ 200 calories.

    I started the program today. It was hard (even at level 1!!! LOL) but I loved it. I have ADD so the way the program works (3 minutes strength 2 minutes cardio 1 minute abs repeated 3 times) is great for me. PLUS my heart rate was up even in the strength parts so I know I earned every calorie burned! <grin>

    I can't wait to see what happens in the next 30 days.

    I just got a fab HRM for my birthday (today) and did the 30 day shred. 20 minutes as circuit training was just a wee bit conservative but if you are like me you don't want to over estimate calories burned so I think logging it as that is perfect!
