    I put it as cardio and record the calories burned as shown by my HRM.

    You can put it as circuit training.

    In my experience, I burn fewer calories than MFP gives you for circuit training by about 50 calories, so don't treat it as gospel and don't eat them all back if you're on quite a small deficit.

    Got this formula in one of the forums but its a good one to have:
    This was for working out how many calories you burn when doing circuit training/30 day shred

    Multiply 3.267 x your weight (lbs) and that is how many calories burned in an hour.

    30 Day Shred = 27 mins -: divide above figure by 3 since the warm up and cool down are considered exercise but not intense. I get only 153 calories burned but if I log MFPs circuit training cal burn on here its over 212!
    Quite a difference!


    OR just multiply your weight by 1.089 (3.267/3 = 1.089). It would give you the same thing

    Just create your own exercise '30 day Shred level 1' e.g and input the calories you've calculated so you have that in your database for further entries :)

    ps I'm on day 16, level 2..am loving it and seeing results already :-D

    150-200 depending on your weight, the weights you're using and if you're 'phoning it in'

    I always matched it with 30 mins cardio. That way youre burning about 4-500

    You don't have to do it every day of the week. I did it and took about 6.5 weeks to complete the video. I still saw amazing results (over 3" off hips, 1 1/2" off waist 2" off thighs and around 15 lbs lost.) The main thing is to eat at the deficit MFP sets up for you. If you don't do that, you won't see the results you want. 30DS does not burn enough calories to create your desired body without dieting. But if you combine the two (diet and 30DS) you should see awesome results!

    Cardio or circuit training. But keep in mind that MFP often overestimates calorie burn by a little so only eat back some exercise calories.

    Its an awesome workout, I must confess still yet to complete the 30 days as I've took on jogging and swimming as a daily regime but if I miss a day I sometimes throw in a workout with Jillian and I always feel it the next day....A great dvd :)

    and in answer to your question....I burn around 187 calories per workout ;p Have fun and good luck!

    I've been on MFP for 2 weeks, my first time ever trying to lose weight. Above you say "The main thing is to eat at the deficit MFP sets up for you". Does that mean I should eat the 1200 calories that MFP set for me for my daily calories or do you mean to eat under the 1200 calories?(deficit?) I plan on buying the 30 Day Shred video and I want to be sure I'm doing it correctly. Sorry for the "newby" question. Thank you :smile:

    The way MFP is designed is that you eat the 1200 calories they give you (which, in my opinion, is too low. TDEE method is better....do a search on it) and then eat back the calories you earn from exercising.

    Agree with this.

    I did my first round and logged about 230 calories but didn't eat them all back. I only took 3 days off...because I had to...son flipped his car and laying sod...

    I lost 3lbs, 9 inches

    2nd round I was using a food scale...lost 5lbs and 4 more inches...it's a great workout but do plan on upping your weights as you progress...I started with 3lb and quickly went to 5lb and could have done the 10lb easy enough on my 2nd round...

    Okay thank you very much for clarifying. I will look up TDEE as you suggest. :smile:

    Hi..I'm just getting started with MFP...what's the "30 day shred"? I'm finding it terribly difficult to motivate myself to go to the gym and exercise. My husband is in the military and they have mandatory PT (phys ed.) 3 times a week so he's NOT willing to do anything that remotely resembles exercise with me. Because of the way my work day is structured the only time I really have to do any exercising is at 6 in the morning before I head into work.

    I'll do it for a week or two and then sleep gets in my way.

    Any suggestions?

    30 Day Shred is a Fitness dvd from Jillian Michaels. You can find it at your local Walmart for 9.97 (or Walmart.com if your store doesn't carry it) It is a fairly short but intense workout, which includes a 2 minute warmup, 18 minutes of workout and a 2 minute cool down. It is broke down into 3 circuits (a set of exercises rapidly following each other). In each circuit you do 3 minutes strength, 2 minutes cardio and 1 minute of abs. You repeat this 3,2,1 format two more times each time doing different sets of exercises.

    It is a very effective workout for as short a time as it takes to complete. You are always exercising more than one muscle group with each move (essentially you are multi-tasking your workout, working both biceps and glutes, shoulders and abs, triceps and quads, etc.)

    Very worth your money to give it a try. It was amongst the best $10 I ever spent on fitness equipment.

    I LOVE the 30 Day Shred DVD. I've been really into Jillian Michaels workouts & am currently reading her "Slim For Life" book. I strongly recommend that too if anyone is interested in reading & learning A LOT about food, fitness, & how to maintain.

    I just logged it in under my own workouts, & put it in as "30 Day Shred", 'cause it gives the option to create your own. So anytime I do some from fitness websites, or DVDs, I log them in like that. Then I can keep track of which ones I've done & on what days. But I'm sure logging them in under circuit training works just as well. :)
