So..... any clue as to how I could calculate the calories for this? I did the level 2, for 30 mins. Plus 10 mins of the biggest loser introduction workout. I put it under circuit training but I don't know if that's correct?

    I've been using circuit training for the 30DS, too. I'm still not sure if the calorie burn is correct, but I don't have a heart rate monitor. An HRM is really the only accurate way to tell exactly how much you're burning.

    Congrats on reaching Level 2! I'm feeling my level 1 workout, just started today. I put it under circuit training too. I had read that others are doing that also. How long did it take you to reach the next level?

    Debi, I actually had to start on Level 2 because I have OnDemand exercise channel and that's what we had available. But it wasn't terribly hard (I stopped a few times because I'm just getting back into the swing of exercise, but when I couldn't do what she did on screen for cardio, I was jogging in place or adding some jumping jacks.

    I asked this question recently too, and people said circuit training or aerobics. I went w/aerobics because the calories burned were a lil lower and I'd rather under estimate than over estimate.

    PS-- I really need to buy a HRM!

    HRM is the only way. Otherwise, log it as circuit training, but take it with a large grain of salt.
