I'm already doing the30 day shred and eating a calorie controlled diet and drinking plenty of water but I need to up my game as I have a big occasion coming up in 5 weeks and want to look my very best.

What is the best I can do in your opinion for burning calories and fat? Zumba, running, aerobics? Or something altogether different? I'm open to all suggestions.

    Circuit trainning, interval, and tabata trainning all burn calories and fat faster than running or just weight lifting. Those are the best ways to get a lean toned look. If you want to throw in yoga, it'll make you have a slender look. Don't just do one thing you have to mix things up so your body doesn't adapt to your routine and it keeps changing.

    I do zumba during the week for a quick calorie burn and i burn like 600-700 calories in that hour. if you really want to see results do the zumba like 3 times a week.

    I do Zumba and LOVE it. I got the DVDs though since I like it so much at class and its not as fun, if you do try it I think they key is finding an instructor that you like. My insturctor does super high intensity workouts and throws some slow down songs in so we can still breathe. I went to another class where the instructor was really dancy and HATED it!
    Although with Zumba you can burn like 600 calories in an hour if you keep the intensity up and its way more fun then running!

    Interval/circuit training. Its quick, makes the time go by fast because you are switching things up, and burns those calories quick and easy!

    Turbo Fire is great as well as the other programs folks have suggested. The thing is to find something that will challenge you, and keep you motivated. What works for me may or may not work for you.

    I was assuming that 30 day shred wascircuit training? By interval training do you mean a mixture of walking and running? I'm going to head back to Zumba as well, I've not been for ages and I do like it but I don't really get sweaty at it the way I do with 30ds. Keep the ideas coming I'll try anything to find something that works for me!
