Question about 30 Day Shred

in Health & Exercise

My kids are almost 1 and almost 4, I've gotten back into fairly decent shape, but am looking to cross the plateau and really tone up and lose these last 7-10 pounds. I do cardio nearly every day -jog, bike, push the double stroller for hour long walks, etc. and I've started the 30 Day Shred for toning/strength/abs and more cardio. I am on Day 4 and plan to do it every single day.

The first 2 days were very challenging, I already felt stronger by day 3, and have moved on to the second of the three levels. My question is - is this video meant to get you in really good shape ON ITS OWN, with a healthy diet of course, or is it meant to supplement with other cardio that you are doing? I guess to me, 20 minutes even pushing myself really hard, doesn't feel like I am burning enough calories for weight loss. I can already feel my muscles toning, but I want toning AND weight loss.

    I have done the shred several times over the years.  I will do it one day followed by 15-20 minutes of light cardio after and the next day I will do full out hour long cardio.

    Right now I am doing this with her 6 week 6 pack DVD.  I do it plus 15 minutes on the elliptical and the next I run 3-6 miles.

    Yes, that is what I am doing now, too. I just don't think it's enough cardio on its own! Thanks!

    Oh its absolutely good on its own!! I just started last night on my...probably 4th 30ds cycle :) I've slacked off lately so I need something to kick me back into shape!! Another good one by Jillian is the 'Killer Buns & Thighs", but that's not one I would do daily since its mostly lower body.

    I agree that it's good on its own. In fact, I usually do it when I need a change up, or a jump start to weight loss. I did it about 2 months after the birth of both of my babies, and it's really helped to kick start a good workout habit.
