[kerry2008]

Hey all ... i am on day 3 of 30 day shred dvd .... had a break yesterday . ( Plan on excercising 2 days with one off and so on ) .

Have trawled the boards and searched but cannot find out how many cals these use ??

Would like to know if i could counter out some syns

Apparently for those wanting to know ... level 1 is roughly 120 cals = 6 syns =)

120 cals in the whole level 1 stage! id rather do an hour of zumba 600 cals!

That doesn't seem a lot. Is it the calories that make the difference or the actual strength and cardio elements? What am tryin to say is it the highest burning calories that gets the best results?

If you want a plan where you can earn extra Syns/point through exercise then i'd suggest WW pro points. SW does not build this into the plan.

It doesn't seem a lot, but then 30 day shred is really more inch loss focused-people regularly say they lost inches and not pounds.

It doesn't matter how many calories it burns, you cannot count out syns as a result of exercise. As Kingleds said, if you want extras for exercise then WW is the way to go.

Exercise is a bonus, it's good for you and isn't rewarded with extras! You can work towards your body magic awards though.

I c where ppl r coming from with not exercising 4 the sake of gaining back some syns as I have done WW & MFP where this is why u exercise but it jst makes u eat more! Re: cals burned , I use a HRM & usually burn 450ish cals but I suppose it would depend on how for & healthy u r!

It should depend on your weight, the heavier you are the harder you work!

I've been thinking about giving the shred a try. I cant wait to get in my first goal dress

It will be different for everyone depending on their weight as to how many calories they burn.

I feel the same but it gets easier and after doing day five I feel better for it. Keep at it
