Hi everyone,

I just wanted to know if anyone could tell me what to track the 30 day shred workout under in the exercise part of MFP? How long exactly is the workout? 20 minutes?

Thanks in advance!

    It is 24 minutes total, I think. I always load it as circuit training under aerobic exercise.

    With the warmup and cool down stretching it's 27 minutes. I wear my HRM, hit start when we start doing the warmup and stop when we're done with the cool down. I log the calories my HRM says I burned. Which is probably good b/c for me it is a bit lower than MFP's 'circuit training' estimate.

    For some reason, the MFP burn for circuit training is much too high. Even when I do some very high-intensity circuit training and use my hrm, I don't get near the calorie burn that MFP says I should have. When I use my hrm for the 30ds, I burn about 220 for level one and 240-250 for levels two and three. I am 5'6"/185 but for most people, I would say 225-250 is a safe bet.

    Wow! that doesn't seem high at all! that seems way higher than the numbers I get from my MFP counter thingie. I don't wear a heart monitor because mine requires me to put my finger on it so it takes my pulse...which I would not have time to during teh 30DS. I always only log about 21 minutes of circuit training, because I've done the routines at the gym without the video before and I time it, and thats how long I am working out (not counting warm up or cool down) and my burned calories come to something like 190 something.

    My HRM has the chest strap so it's taking your heartrate continuously. There's no way I could effectively use the other during this kind of workout. My calorie burn comes in anywhere around 200-ish for 30DS (I'm still on level 1 - I had one day where it came in at 153 but there were breaks and I was going really easy on myself to avoid hurting my knees/thighs again) depending on how much effort I'm able to put into it and if I have to pause to take a break for the kids or something (I pause my HRM during those times, but during those times my heart rate comes down so it still effects the result at the end).
