How would I track cardio and strength training in doing the 30 minute Curves circuit? Any ideas?

    I have been going to curves for almost 2 years now. I have use a heart rate monitor for the last 12 months to measure my calories burned from their circuit. They do have a curves smart card which will tell you how many calories you have burned, but I have found the HR monitor alot more accurate than the curves smart card ( I found the curves card records a much higher burn) since using the HR monitor I have noticed a better weight lose.

    I love going to the curves gym, but I don't feel their calorie burning device is very accurate. A 30 minute circuit according to my heart rate monitor I burn around 280 calories, according the curves smart card I burn 400 calories. I wasn't losing very much weight at all, but now with the more accurate recording of calories burned ( with HRmonitor) I have a better weekly weight lose.

    hope this helps.

    MFP also has Curves Circuit Training in the exercise database, if a HRM isn't an option and (like me) you don't trust yourself to remember what the smart card said LOL

    Good luck! =D

    Yup, MFP has one!

    It says Circuit Training (Curves circuit) or something like that :)
