Yeah, I did it with my daughter; who is 20. She was able to do the whole 20 min but I had to stop several times and rest. Man, am I ever out of shape. How sad!

My question is: How many calories did I burn (or will I burn when I get better)? I am 5'8" and 150.

How often should we do this?

We are just starting to exercise together.

    great job on doing it! 20 minutes burns about 174 calories.

    You can log it under circuit training. I thought it was supposed to be everyday, come to find out she intended for people to do it every other day.

    well, i just got her two dvds ripped in 30 and 30 day shred. Whether it is meant for every other day or every day i think ill do it everyday its a fantastic workout along with turbojam. But yea she does push you extremely hard and i did have to stop as well alot. I felt bad but then thought about it and i was like my progress is gonna show soon enough. Kinda glad she does pushups alot cause i need that since my upperbody is weak as ever. But yea i will say it kicks your *kitten*...i had my clothes soaked in sweat and i could feel it all over.Keep doing it though

    Thank you so much for the replies. It's the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred I believe.

    I did it for the 3rd time (first in 2 months) last night and I am SO sore this morning. My HRM said I burned 188, I had to puase a few times also because I got to the point I couldn't lift the weights up anymore, I think I need to get some lighter ones.. I have 5lb.. anyways, I'm so sore!

    Oh wow! I am using 3 lb weights. I am sore this morning too! I guess I need an HRM at some point. Are you doing it alone or with someone?

    I think you are supposed to do it everyday for 10 days each level.

    I found that level 2 is easier than level 1, at least for me.

    I use the 5 pound weights.

    Alone.. and I think I need to go shopping for 3 lbs weights... I might have been overestimating myself lol.
