I just completed the 20 minute Turbo Jam video and followed it with the 40 minute Turbo Sculpt. Can I count the 40 min Turbo Sculpt as "cardio calories burned"?

    Do you have a HRM?

    Sorry. I hit "post reply" too quickly.

    Anyways, what I do is just keep my HRM going when I go from the cardio to the TS video. If I do TS after cardio, I keep burning calories at a good pace. If I just do TS by itself, the calories are substantially lower.

    No, I don't have a HRM just yet but I am looking for one. I did notice that my heart was pumping pretty good since I did TS right after the 20 min workout. That's why I was wondering. Any suggestions to figure it out without a HRM? Thank you so much.

    I think your best bet would log your 20 min. workout however you usually do & then log the 40 min. workout as either general aerobics or low impact aerobics. I used to log it as "strength training" under the cardio section & those cals were WAY off for TS especially after a cardio session.

    HTH! :flowerforyou:

    I don't know about you, but I burn about 350-400 calories during Turbo Sculpt according to my HRM. I know that my heart definitely gets pumpin...

    Great Idea! Thanks - I"ll do just that and log it as low impact aerobics!
