I'm not sure what particular 'type' of excercise Jillian Michaels- Shred it (kettlebell) is considered. I'm trying to log the bit i've done so far today and have no idea how to.... there was some cardio, but other than that, i'm lost. Someone help me pleaseeeee.

I would suggest a calorie tracker along with timing how long your working out. If it's not already in the exercise tracker I would say, make your own!0

bump, want to know also0

For me, the most accurate way to log exercise has been to use a HRM with a chest strap for a few months. After that, I got a feel for what I burned during various activities and now I use that knowledge to help me estimate.
Good luck!0 -

I log my workouts as circuit training when I'm doing anything with a kettle bell, weights, squats/lunges, 3-count-bodybuilders, etc.0

http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/calories_burned.asp seems to be 20 calories burned per minute. Myself, I log it as 10 calories burned per minute which is still an awesome burn.0

I use my heart rate monitor and track it that way. I LOVE that workout.0

Great questions. Not being a dummy..I got mine from Target but yes, they sell them at Walmart too..make sure you get one with a Chest strap.0

I do a kettlebell bootcamp 4 days a week. I average 9-10 calories a minute depending on what we are doing. Higher if it is snatches or swings verses lower if it is rows or presses. Also depends on the force and weight you are using. Love my kettlebells!0

Awesome, thank you! Will be getting one tonight well, as long as I have enough money lol0 -
HRM with a chest strap is definitely the way to, then I just log it as the default kettlebell entry in MFP and adjust the calories to what my HRM measured. Good luck!0
