I haven't done this one yet, and have had it for a while now. I am AFRAAAAIIID of it, LOL!! The first Squeeze just GETS me, this light many many pulses kind of work ALWAYS does, so I am obviously a fast twitch type. But wow, it really works ya. Now I may have to use this one just for this waist workout everyone is mentioning!
Regarding the calorie burn, don't worry about that, for one thing whatever, and I do mean whatEVER method you use to try to determine this, unless you truly have the equipment for measuring the oxygen, etc., at your disposal, most calorie counting 'stuff' uses your heartrate, size, etc., to 'estimate' your calorie burn. Squeeze technique doesn't give you the same kind of "cardio response" that some other work does, but my gosh you are burning cals!! Muscles are hungry critters, and even though your heart may not be soaring from cardio, your muscle is eating away to keep those pulses going. So your gauge is probably off due to the lack of movement. Just as a huge heartrate response does not mean you are burning calories like crazy, it just means your HEART is beating like crazy, which doesn't burn that many cals because it is a very small muscle, the same is true in reverse, just because your heart is not soaring, does not mean that you are NOT burning cals, even though many 'products' will assume this.
