Ok, so I started this DVD back in June. I really like it and I do it a little differently than what your supposed to. I do each level for 3 weeks so I can get through them the right way before moving on to the next Level.
So my question is how do I log the exercise on MFP?
When I first started I was going in and individually putting like "5 mins of jumping jacks" or "5 mins aerobics" and then I learned what circuit training was so I just put 27 mins of that for Level 1. BUT now I'm on Level 2 and I KNOW I burn more calories than on Level 2 but I am still putting in 27 mins of circuit training.
Have any of you done the shred and how have you logged it?

    The best way is probably to use a heart rate monitor and measure exactly how many calories you're burning, then customize one of the preset exercises with that amount of calories.

    I'm just going to keep at my 27 mins of circuit training because yes, I cannot afford a HRM. Thanks for all the info!!!

    that's what i do. it's not so important to me to calculate my exercise calories perfectly. i know i'm just going to try my hardest no matter what, and i know that my estimated weight in 5 weeks thing is always going to be wrong anyway. lol :-)
