Is anyone doing a beach body program? I am doing piyo and have done 21 day fix in the past. How have you recorded the exercise? I haven't seen any beach body workout pop up as options.

Thanks

    Do Add Exercise. In the search box. Put PIYO. If nothing comes up then do Create Exercise.

    You need a HRM to capture workout time and calories burned by you, not someone else. I've searched before and found some of the workouts I do. Their numbers are off and I don't use them. I input mine. Assuming the numbers it gives you are right is a bad idea, they're not in many cases.

    I'm doing Focus T25 and just added my own exercise. I use s HRM so I have an idea if calorie burn, though I usually don't eat back exercise calories anyway.

    How do you like Focus T25? What variety of Dumbbells do you need to do the program?

    HRMs are designed for steady state cardio. HRM estimates seem to be pretty good for steady state cardio, but those are still estimates too.

    OP - for logging exercise: strength training, circuit training, aerobics, yoga.....just log into MFP using the general category and the number of minutes. Log under cardiovascular for a calorie count.

    Then plan on eating back 50-75% of those calories. Pick a %, use that for awhile & then tweak as necessary. If weight loss is slower than expected, eat less. If weight loss is faster than expected, eat more.
