I just tracked it as circuit training. Then i also googled based on my weight and age what the average calorie burn is per DVD. That goes with hip hop abs and P90X as well. I know the heart rate monitor is obviously the best, but in the meantime that's what I've been doing. You can also google what the average burn would…

Do level 1 for 10 days, level 2 for 10 days, then level 3 for 10 days. When I was doing it I did it everyday because it's only a half hour but you can take a rest day between levels or weekly if you need to.

day 5 of level 1!! trying to make it through the whole thing this time!

Good call, I do need to incorporate weights into my routine! I know weights and cardio will get you the best results anyways, I just got lost in the zone with my cardio lol

Very good advice... all this talk of long term damages scares me so I think I might take a little time off from running or run a lot less for awhile and do other activities.

lexnaj - I will definitely be doing those stretches! Thanks wolfgate - I wear headphones when I run so I can't really hear how hard I'm hitting the ground but I will definitely be more conscious of my form and relax.

Thanks! I went home yesterday and cried to my boyfriend after running on the treadmill and feeling the shin splints coming back... you would've thought I was training for the olympics!! It's good to know I won't mess my progress up too badly if I take a week or two off and do other stuff.. that was my main concern.

I will be doing that magical exercise for sure!

Thanks for all the awesome advice!!! I was trying to do some running everyday but I do realize I need to mix up my routine a bit. Thinking about adding 30 day shred and some other things. As long as I'm doing some activity! I'm going to have to find a track or somewhere else to run though, no more sidewalk.

Thanks!! I will try ALL of the above :)

Oops *weather. I always have to fix my typos.

i love all the dancing games.. doesn't even feel like you're getting a workout it's so fun. my brother lost like 30-40 pounds just doing the just dance and dance central everyday.

congrats! i signed up for a 5k at the end of july as motivation to start running. i've never been a runner but i'm doing my best!!

unfortunately i have no suggestions because i'm running into the exact same problem lol. then by the time i get off of work and want to take my dog for a walk it's usually nasty and rainy lately too. what i've been doing is just alternating between p90x and brazil butt lift dvds inside and even playing dance central on the…
