30 day shred: can I count it as strength training?

Currently I do 30 day shred 3 times a week (or I do a very similar circuit of interval training) along with a few days of pure cardio. My question is: can I count 30 day shred as strength training? I'm not looking to bulk up, I just know that strength training is just as important as cardio for a well-rounded workout routine and weight loss. What do you think? Can I count 30 day shred as my strength training?

IMO no... 3-5 pound weights really don't cut it. I mean, it's a start, but even bodyweight exercises would be better.0

It's cardio/endurance-based training.0

No i count it as a circuit training0

I agree with hotasfire36. I think circuit training would we the correct way to log 30ds. May not be lifting but I think it still great plus if you enjoy it then why not.0

No. Have fun though.0

For the first 30 days, that would probably be reasonable. If you are actually interested i strength training, you should find a more challenging program.0
