    If you don't have a HRM you should use "Circuit training, general" when you enter your exercise. I believe that's the best option.

    I wore my HRM today thru my 1st "try" of the 30DS this evening... my calorie burn was 212. I used Circuit Training general for 25 mins (213) to record it in MFP

    Hope that helps

    An HRM is a heart rate monitor it calculates your weight and heart rate and tells tou how much you have burned while exercising.

    I'm still waiting for my HRM to arrive in the mail but in the meantime, I just log it as Circuit Training, general for roughly 25 minutes.

    I have a HRM and I get about 180 for Level 1. Does it make a difference if I put it in as cardio or circuit training?

    I created my own exercise in cardio (not strength training) and named it "30 Day Shred w/ HRM" or something like that.

    If I enter circuit training general - it tells me over 375 cals burned.... I adjust down to 300 cals burned. Is anyone around 230 doing this with a HRM and can tell me what they are burning?

    I'm 5' 7", weigh 192 and burned 358 with Level 1, Day 1. I have a HRM and I don't stop it until my heart rate gets below 100. Not everyone does that, but I want credit for all calories burned :) I won't burn that much every time though.

    That is a very good idea, I normally stop when it gets below 118 (usually around the time when it's time to stretch) and I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for the tip...

    I wear my heart rate monitor during 30 DS. My average burn is 180-200, depending on how hard I push myself.
    Hope this helps! :happy:

    I have a HRM, I'm 172, 5'5 and 32 and I burn between 275-325 in level one. I push myself really hard though...

    My HRM should be in the mail this week. I'm excited to use it, but I'm worried it may be inaccurate because I had to go with a really cheap one...

    Does it have a chest strap? If so, it should be fairly accurate. Did you search the message boards here on MFP to see if anyone had any experience (good or bad) with the kind you ordered? The only reason I ordered a Polar was because of the things I found here on MFP about it.

    So, I just got my HRM in yesterday..it has a chest strap with it, so it should be fairly accurate, right? Well, I did the 30ds level 2 (I've been doing level 1 and 2 for a month back and forth. I think I want to try 3 sometimes soon. Anyways, I wore my HRM for the first time and burned 698 calories today. I'm 22, weigh 241 at the moment. My max HR was 174, average was 154 but ranged between 150-165 the majority of the time. Is that....abnormal?

    MFP says I burn 424 for 29 minutes (start to stop)
