Jillian's 30 Day Shred & Bodybugg

Options
Just wanted to share some information with those of you who were interested in Jillian's 30 day shred. I just recently bought the bodybugg, and after just doing Level 1 of the shred, I burned 237. Mind you, it was my first time doing it in a long time, so I did not make it through all of the cardio intervals completely, or some of the really intense strength moves. MFP would have said I burned 290 calories by logging the 20 minutes of circuit training in. I would definitely suggest a bodybugg to anyone who wants to know how much they really are burning through their exercise programs. I tried wearing it all day yesterday, but that became just a little bit too much. I found myself constantly looking at the digital display and becoming obsessed with it. I much rather prefer to stick to my calorie goal intakes & then know how many calories I am burning during my workouts. Feel free to message me if you want to know more. Good luck to everyone =)

    I've been doing this one all month. I don't do it daily but on weekdays I do it 3 days and do another cardio on alternating days. I do have the endurance to do it 2 days in a row so if I mess up my usual rotation of Mon, Wed, Fri I will throw 2 days in a row. Yesterday I got crazy motivated and added in a hip hop cardio dance a couple hours later. I was going to walk but had to head to church after so I wanted it out of the way earlier so I could shower.

    Interesting about the differences in calorie burn. I'm sure I'm not at what it says but I do make it through the cardio most of the time. I would love a bodybugg but just no way to afford it right now.

    Thanks to 30 Day Shred I've lost at least 4 lbs this month and an inch of my hips and tummy. I think I've even lost some on my arms but for me that is hard to measure.

    If you get the body media at costco they are 149.99 with a 12 month subscription. Great deal. Its the same as body bugg ( same company makes it) You have to go online to see your results after you plug it in. Kinda nice that way so if your obsessed you cant look at till you plug in. Good luck on whatever you choose
