I just started today. (WONDERFUL BURN btw. lol I was sweating like crazy!!!)
I was wondering how people record it into their exercise diary? because there is strength training as well as cardio. My diary is available for public to see, feel free to make suggestions but this was the best way I could think of to record it. I don't have a HRM to actually see how many calories I burn. Hopefully The diary is underestimating.

    I did an internet search the other day and there was a lot saying it burns 180-250 per session.

    I had the same question and was told to log it as circuit training under cardio! As such, it says I burn 170...it was 178 at first..must decrease with weight loss?

    for me it totally depends! I'd say get urself an HRM it's totally worth it, but before I had one I used to log it as Circuit training, general

    I just started it today, too. I'm so out of shape, I couldn't even make it all the way through...but I will soon! LOL

    From what I've seen, most people on here record it as circuit training.

    Ok...I keep seeing HRM and what is it? Heart rate monitor? how do you edit it in the exercise section? Will it show how many calories burned? I don't have a monitor if that is what you guys are talking about.

    Yes, heart rate monitor. Some of them show how many calories burned, but again, it is only a guess-timate based on your age, weight, etc. I think that they are a little more accurate than the exericses listed on MFP. I got mine on Craigslist and I LOVE IT!! I enter whatever exercise (bike riding, etc) and then play with the minutes until it shows the calories burned that my HRM shows I burned.

    I am just starting level 2 of the 30 day shred. I am also seeing the calorie burn shift down because of the weight loss. Good Luck with it. I am honestly not sure how to log it either. I average 240 burn.

    I usually burn about 550-650 doing 30DS, as per HRM. When I log it, I log it as "circuit training, general" and then plug in the minutes and calories burned that the HRM gives me.

    As with anything, though, a lot of this is YMMV stuff.
