How many calories do you burn?
12 Replies
Hi ladies, I would like to ask those of you who have a HR monitor how many calories you burn doing Jari's workout. I know nobody can actually burn 1000 calories, but I can't seem to burn anywhere…

Hi Jari, I love your workout DVDs and am looking forward to the new release tomorrow! There is one thing I have been wondering alot lately. I also enjoy Chalene Johnson's Chalean Extreme workout pr…

Hi Aliya,
I use a high speed blender called Vita-Mix, but you can use a regular blender. I prefer drinking smoothies rather than juice because it contains fiber. I usually mix 1 part fruits and 2 parts green vegetables.
A green smoothie is a mix of green leafy veggies and fruits with some water. I usually use high protein leafy veggies, such as kale or spinach, celery, and some fruits such as apple, grapefruit, berries, watermelon, banana, pineapple, mango and grap…
Kim,
P90X is a great program and can bring you excellent results. You do 3 different resistance exercises + ab exercise, 1 yoga and 2 different cardio exercises in a week. You can replace yoga and cardio workouts with something else if you like, bu…
Renee,
Please remember that when you have a lot of stress in your life, your muscle goes weak and is prone to injury (my chiropractor told me), so when your work is crazy, don't push too hard.
Take care.
Hi Megan,
A resistance band or stretch band also works great because it doesn't take a lot of space to carry in your bag. Cathe sells a workout video called Travel Fit that uses a stretch band.
I can't think of any particular recipes right now, bu…
You can also gain a few pounds during the period or if you are constipated. The weight also fluctuates throughout the day unless you weigh yourself first thing in the morning after using the bathroom. I wouldn't worry about it.
Renee,
You don't have to execute everything perfectly everyday. I always overeat all kinds of foods at social gatherings that I don't normally eat, but I tell myself it's okay. We all want to have fun once in a while. It's only two weeks out of a y…
Agreed!
I've heard very good things about insanity- and I am sure it will definitely get you into your target heart rate zone!
I've been wanting to try it too! Good Luck I hear its insane!! Let us know how it goes.
I know from experience that you are on any medication especially anti anxiety or blood pressure medication particulary it will give you a lower heart rate reading especially when you're working out. I was on a blood pressure tablet for my migraines…
Hi Chikako,
It sounds like you're an experienced fitness enthusiast! I hope that the heart rate monitor is actually giving you wrong numbers as I would have to agree that that calorie count when you're putting in so much commitment.
Take care,
Ze…
Thank you, Zerlina, for the encouragement. You are right. Maybe I need to make some changes. I'm going to keep doing Jari's workout on resistance training days, but for cardio days, I will try something else and see what happens. As you mentioned, w…
I burn anywhere from 550 to 650 in a 1 hour Ripped Class. I tend to burn more in the Ripped 1000 classes and a bit less in Slim/Lean, Core, etc. I used 8-12 lb dumbells and 2 risers on the step. I burn 600+ in a 1 hour spin class.
Your calorie numb…
I'm pretty sure my monitor is working fine because it reads my HR correctly, but I don't know if gives inaccurate calorie readings when the resting HR is very low. My resting HR used to be around 62 but it has come down due to aerobic trainings over…
That doesn't seem right to me either.
Your resting heart right is extremely low! That is a good thing, of course. Maybe the monitor isn't accurate because your heart rate is so low?
