Hi MFP,

Does anyone know how many calories are burned on each level of the Jillian Micheals 30-Day Shred DVD?

Thank You!

    hi there, I'm on day 7 of Level 1, and I am losing 160 cals each time
    but it depends on how much u weigh, and if u're doing the higher or lower level

    hey there :)

    the best advice i can give you is to get a heart rate monitor and measure your heart rate, then calculate how many calories you've burned that way.

    if you want something a little more simpler, i just consider it 20 mins of high impact aerobics.

    hope this helps!

    Everyone burns calories different. It depends on your weight and how intense you are actually doing the work outs. Buy a heart rate monitor if you can.

    I was just wondering this exact same topic and have no idea how to calculate it. If anyone can shed light on this, it would be a lifesaver!

    Oh, and I've been told to log it as circuit training.

    I am 5'10" 170#. Using polar FT60 heart rate monitor w/ chest strap.

    On level 1, my average heart rate was 140 and my heart rate monitor gave me an average burn over the 10 days of around 250 calories

    On level 2, my average heart rate (so far) is around 150 andy my monitor gave me an average burn of 280 calories

    I know it is based on which exercises you do and how well/intensity/etc. I do most of the exercises (probably about 90%), girly knee push ups, level 2 have to modify out some of the knee impact items due to my knee getting painful from the high impact items.

    Hope this helps

    I'm taking your advice and listing it as circuit training. I think that represents it the best. I'm doing Jillian Michaels Yoga Meltdown and the level 2 is a killer! Great workout.

    I also log is as circuit training-20 minutes and hope it is pretty close. I don't have a HRM and don't have plans to invest in one at this time.

    I counted mine as high impact aerobics.. i do circuit training at Planet Fitness and it's nowhere near as intense as 30DS is.. :)

    I'm glad i'm not the only one!
    agreed. i do step aerobics in the mornings, and that's close to circut training, but 30DS is much more intense than that. XD

    I had read that most people burn around 180-210 calories per workout, so I logged mine at 200. I used to do an elliptical for 20 minutes and according to the machine I usually burned around 350-360 in 20 minutes, so I was disappointed to hear that 30 day shred only burns around 200. Today I got my HRM (Polar FT7) and according to that, I burned 394 calories doing level 2 of 30 day shred.
