Anyone get "Extreme Shed and Shred" yet? My copy is on its way from Amazon, and I'm dying to see the new ways she plans to kick our *kitten* now.

    I used this on Christmas Eve and I burned 254 calories and was very sore the next day. I'm usually not sore after Jillian workouts. I hated it at first because it uses some yoga moves that are hard, but I really got into it and it was nice that it is completely different than her usual workouts.

    I'm a little confused on how you know just how many calories you burn with a dvd. How did you know that you burned 254 calories doing that workout?

    Yes I have a heart rate monitor with a chest strap. I love it and it seems pretty accurate. It's always good to know how much I'm burning because I used to over estimate. Also I can figure out which dvds are more worth my time.

    I bought it and I love it! I like that the workouts are 45 minutes.. Let's just say I did a lot of grunting while doing it :-)

    HEART MONITOR reply

    Awesome, I don't know how I never had knowledge of this great device before. So how does a heart rate monitor tell you how many calories you are burning? Also, do you have any suggestions for a device for me to get? I noticed that a lot of watches popped up when I searched for one on Amazon, have you had any experience with a watch kind?

    I have a hrm monitor that has a chest strap that constantly reads my hr and it shows up on my watch. At the end of my workout it tells me how many calories I burned. I had just a watch one once and hated it because I had to keep stopping to put my finger on it to get a reading and it didn't seem accurate.

    The chest strap one works because you put in your information (age, sex, weight, etc) and based on that and your hr throughout the workout it calculates calories burned. I recommend any one with a chest strap. Mine is the pyle brand but many ppl like polar.

    I have done level 1 and about half of level 2 so far and, don't tar and feather me, but, I LIKE it! I've NEVER used "like" and "Jillian" in the same sentence. I burned around 600 from the 45-50ish minutes I completed. It's got a lot of different, and fun, workouts. I foresee great results with this one!

    If anyone is interested, a group of us are doing this as a challenge for about 6 weeks. Feel free to join us! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1001-the-hawt-candy-azzes

    Enjoy the workout!
