Does anyone do the 30 day shred by jillian michaels? I'm just wondering how many calories I should enter? Do you think it's close to kick boxing? Just wondering. Thanks!

    I'm not sure, but I entered it under calesthenics, vigorous push ups and sit ups and I put the time in that I worked out. I stretch more than she stretches (there is never enough stretching in these videos/classes) and then enter stretching under that category .Best with it. I'd like to see what others think and how they enter it.

    How Many Calories Am I Burning?

    Q: How many calories are we burning during the online workouts and your front, back, and kickboxing DVDs?

    JILLIAN SAYS: It's all relative to your age, body weight, height, gender, and so on. The general rule of thumb is, for every 25 pounds of weight you have on your frame, you will burn an additional 50 calories an hour provided you work out at the same intensity for the entire hour.



    For example, I weigh 120 pounds — which is almost 5 groups of 25 pounds — so if I multiply 50 calories by 5 for 250 calories, then divide that per-hour amount by 60 it comes out to slightly more than 4 calories a minute.

    I weighed close to 190 when I did it and am 5'5". I burned anywhere between 180 and 220 calories.
