Anyone else do T25?

[Vlemmon22]

I have done T25 since christmas now and just got my fitbit this week, and T25 is a great workout to me, but when I check my calories and activity on my dashboard it only says it was a moderate activity? Anyone else have this issuse? Or maybe is T25 not as intense as I thought.

It's just that Fitbit trackers are designed to track primarily step-based activities. If you have a waist-mounted Fitbit (eg. One, Zip) and you move your hands very energically during your T25, it will not fully track that. Likewise, if you have a wrist-mounted Fitbit (Force, Flex), but are moving mostly other body parts during your T25, it won't fully track that either. For cardio activity that is mostly stationary, a HRM would probably give a better indication of the calories you burned.

It varies on which workout video is today. Speed and Cardio videos are for burning fat and calories. The other three videos you have are for strengthening. I don't rely on T25 as my sole workout as I need more than just T25. Lots of cardio on the treadmill, stair climbing, weight lifting if I give it spare time for 30-60 minutes, burning my 2,500 calories a day set by Fitbit and a T25 workout in the evening time. If I have enough energy in me, I do two T25 videos that night.

Like tonight is Rip't Circuit and if I have enough energy, Core Cardio afterwards.

Friday is double day for Upper Focus and Speed 2.0 for me.

Can you say, hook your wristband on a pair of shorts when you do an intense legs-based workout like this to track it better?  I've been wondering that, since a lot of my cardio is from DVDs and not necessarily step-based...

so if I'm manually entering my T25 workout which option should I use? I took a guess yesterday and listed it as "bootcamp".
