I just started the 30 day shred and have a question on how do you log this for exercise and how do you know how many calories you are burning?

Any help appreciated and if anyone wants to join me send me an add and say shred :)

    I personally "created" an exercise for it and wore my heart rate monitor, but lacking that many people log it under circuit training general.

    Same here. I've been burning about 250ish (give or take a bit) per session.

    Currently log it under Circuit Training General, but am looking forward to getting my heartrate monitor in the mail (any day now!) so I can have a more accurate log.

    Just about everyone will tell you to log it as Circut Training. I did this for the first week or so and it way overestimated based on my heart rate monitor that I use now. I burn around 220 according to my HRM (Polar FT4) and the database told me I would burn 277-300. My suggestion would be to get a HRM, but if you can't, I would knock off some calories from what the database says so you stay within your calorie goal.

    Good luck!

    This was helpful, I currently log it under " circuit training general", but I think I burn more than 155.....

    I certainly hope so, Level 2 is hard.... So sore.....!

    I wear a bodybugg and zero it out before the exercise - I have been burning 185-200 calories a session.

    I weight about 190lbs and usually get through the whole thing without slacking - the part I do slack on is the side lunges - I only lift one arm each time I go side to side because I am using 8lb weights. I also do the push ups from my knees, not my toes.

    I am traveling for work today, but brought my DVD to throw into my laptop at the hotel - hope the room below me is empty because there is alot of jumping in that video!!!

    Thanks for all the advice! I don't have a hrm yet so I guess I will kinda keep in mind I didn't burn as many calories as is says I did. How long do you do level one before level 2 ? This dvd should be used 3 to 4 times a week right? I can't picture anyone doing this daily 8O!!!!!!

    When I first got the dvd, I did it periodically w/ my other workouts & did mainly level 2. But I've since been determined to do it consistantly 30 days in a row. I started w/ 10 days on level 1, then 10 days level 2 & 10 on level 3. I'm currently on day 17.

I made it up to 15 days and it really did work, I kinda had a night out that through me off track and I stopped after that so I was really bummbed I gave up but I plan to start this next tuesday and finis the full 30 days this time :) Good luck to you :)
