Lilmissgenius- GREAT LOSS! :drinker: (water)
Shawnalee-My MFP fat grams is 40 (that’s before exercise)
Jady-Welcome! :flowerforyou:
Steph- I’m not sure how many days a week you are doing 30 day Shred but if you’re doing it daily, that’s 42 mins for the week. You don’t have to complete the strength training in one session, you can break up however you want. Good Luck!0 -
I'm in!0

H haa my response is in the blue box. Oops!body weight strength totally counts. Take the full amount strength for each video, by the end of the week you should be there. Or double up on the video he he.I have done shred, I rented it to compare it to 1 of her 12 wk circuit programs, when I was doing it last year. I actually did level 2 as my trial lol. but I completed it fine. Jillians circuits are very effective! I am following a 12 wk one now, the routine changes 4 days a week and then changes again every other week to something harder. tough part is, I am rarely sore anymore lol. I absolutely love strength and circuit training because I have a short attention span. my circuits this week are about 40 min long. Fun!!!0

Hi all- Tuesday stands for toning- Hope you guys had better luck in that department than I did today!
I had an unexpected off day, so I need to do about 6 mins of ST each day to meet the goal.

I was last year so I rented 30 day shred and did level 2. But I definitely prefer her more elaborate books and programs because I don't get bored andit mixes it up more for muscle confusion. I am doing, winning by losing now but have also done her making the cut routine and hot bod in a box. The thing I love about her books is what I have learned about the science of exercise and eating certain things. I have since read other training and nutrition books but she was a lot of help getting a better focus on. More specific nutritional goals.I have done shred, I rented it to compare it to 1 of her 12 wk circuit programs, when I was doing it last year.
