    Out of interest how many calories are you all burning during the 20 minutes? I have logged it as aerobics general and that has given me a total of 152 calories. Just wondering if that is about right. I have a garmin forerunner but that uses the gps signal and doesn't work for aerobics etc.

    I tried it a few times a couple of months ago wearing a HRM. I'm 5'3, 184 lbs and I burned an average 185 calories. The least I burned was 160 and the most I burned was 210...just depended how hard I pushed myself.

    Thanks :smile: it sounds about right then because I'm only 5'4 and I followed the beginner routine.

    I was told to log it under general circuit training. More accruate!

    The jumping jacks are the worst part of it, IMO. :grumble:

    Day one done! Hope we can all walk tomorrow! :laugh:

    Finished day 1 today! Not so bad, I suck at pushups, I have to do the modified version, I don't see that changing anytime soon.

    Great job to everyone that has started today on 6/20/2011!!

    I managed to do the workouts using 5 lbs weights through all the strength exercises but had to do the modified push-ups.

    The worst one for me were the ones where you squat and then extend the weights above your head as you come up. Ugh, those 8just about killed me.

    On the up side, my boyfriend did it with me and I totally kicked his butt on the ab work! LOL He used 8 lbs weights tho, so I can't give him too much of a hard time! :wink:

    Day 2 tomorrow! Lets keep this momentum going! Woooohhooooo!:laugh:

    That's awesome, great job! I could barely get through the lateral raises with a squat using 3 lb weights so 5 is impressive! I can't do the push ups either, I did one rep as the girly kind and one rep against the wall (I heard this is more like a regular push up). I don't know about you, but I was sweating like a mofo by the end. I used my HRM and it clocked in at 200 calories burned in 27 minutes.

    I started 20th June as well!! Didn't cop this one as the title was 6/20 and we do our dates other way around ie 20/6 lol I did it using 3 lbs weights following the more advanced version,apart from the pushups which I could barely do at all!! It's 6am here in Ireland and I'm just up and the middle of my shoulder blades is feeling it!!! I'm thinking of trying the heavier weights today to see how I get on!! Good Luck everyone!!

    Great job for those that did a session today! I did day two today - gosh I found it hard!

    I'm looking forward to the day when I can do proper push ups and not feel like I'm going to expire when I do those bicycle crunch things. :)

    Just completed day 2. Feeling quite stiff from yesterday so was tempted to give it a miss but glad I didn't. Can't do push ups either. Thanks Tinan76, I will log it as circuit training from now on x

    Just finished day 2. O.M.G. It was tough! I barely made it through the first circuit, which is the hardest in my opinion. My inner thighs are the most sore today. For all those people that think they are too sore to do it today, I encourage you to stick with it. By the end of it you'll feel much better. Plus I feel so goooood, like I could totally kick someone's *kitten*. ha!

    On a side note, I'm supposed to go on a 8 mile bike ride tonight...I'm praying for rain. :laugh:

    Great work everyone!

    Ps. According to my HRM, I burned 203 calories.
