Acativity Pts earned for cardio/weight dvd's

  • I was hoping someone could help me. I was doing only cardio for about 2 weeks and it was easy to calculate my activity pts based on the criteria I have read. But now I am easing into my DVD collection (mainly 'The Firm') which focuses on cardio and weights how would I calculate the activity pts for these?

    I work up a sweat and at times talking could be difficult

    thanks for the help
  • It's really the same, I think. You determine your 'activity level' - easy, moderate, or hard - and stick that into your AP slider or calculator. There aren't different criteria for different exercises.
  • And the amount earned would also depend on your height and current weight and level of fitness. No one size fits all, sorry!
  • well after three days of doing the cardio/weight on the dvd's and I worked as hard as my level of fitness would allow I would call my workouts in the med/heavy range then. Some of the dvd's work me harder and longer than others

    Thank you for helping me clear this up it was a real scratch you head moment LOL
