I'm doing the biggest loser with my family and so far I've lost 7 pounds! I don't know what to put down for this DVD in the calorie section though? Any thoughts? I'm on level 2

    I think you should log it as circuit training general, thats what I log the 30 day shred as..

    I do as well, but the calories that MFP listed were a lot more than what burned, so I adjust it. I use a HRM to get my number.

    Ohhh, that might be a better idea with the heart rate monitor. I had logged it in as each seperate activity, jumping jacks 2 minutes and so forth with 25 minutes of activity total for the whole thing. Thanks Kagard11!

    Anyone have any ideas of a good, non-expensive hrm? I need to get one, but money is a bit on the tight side..

    I created a custom exercise and for level 1 I use MFP's estimate of calories burned in 'Aerobics, high impact' as my guide. For level 2 I'm going to use 'Circuit training, general' as a guide - because I've heard it's harder. I'd really like to get a HRM - but the one I want (Polar FT7) is quite expensive in New Zealand. I really should get it though.

    I used circuit training & it gave me 167 calories which seems low but... I don't have an HRM so I am clueless. Wish I had one to know the real #. I have seen some people posting over 300 calories burned on it.

    The shred is more like circuit training, vigorous.

    I only see general & curves as options. Am I looking in the wrong place?

    Isorry bout that. It's actually calisthenics, vigorous and is under cardio.

    Definitely log it as circuit training if you aren't using a HRM. For level 1, I don't take any breaks and use 5lbs weights and I only burn 205 calories according to my Polar FT7

    I have the polar ft4. They can be around $45-70 on amazon depending on the seller.

    I just got the Polar FT4 as well and it is showing me burning about 230 calories on level 1. Once I figured out my calories I just add it as 30 day shred everyday. You can create it for yourself.

    Getfoxy, which Biggest Loser DVD are you using? I have the Cardio Max (very old, Bob does Level 1, Jillian does Level 2, and Kim does Level 3). I really enjoy the workout. Are you using a newer version?
