How do you log "30 Day Shred"?

Hi!

I'm trying to motivate myself to get my 30 Day Shred DVD out again, but then I realise I don't know how to log it, since it's a mix of cardio and strength :/

Do I pick one type for each (for instance "jumping jacks" for cardio and "dumbbell row" for strength) and put 10 minutes for each...?

How do you people log it? :)

    I logged it as circuit training before I got a HRM, after that I created my own workout and logged it as 30DS and whatever it recorded.

    That's a good idea. I'll give it a go, thanks!

    I used this formula, even though I know it probably isn't very accurate. It supposedly came from Jillian's website. I don't have a HRM, so this was just a starting point for logging purposes:

    30 day shred calorie burn - 3.267 calories burnt per pound every hour. Multiply by weight to get how many calories per hour you would burn and divide by 3 to get each 20 minute work out. ~ taken from Jillian Michaels website

    Oh thank you, I'll have to check that formula!
