Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 and Shred Questions

IWillAchieve

Hello,

I was wondering what exactly you'd track the 24 minute work out for her DVD. That's how long her workouts are. They are short. It's a mix of ab, cardio, arobic and strenght training but is it really just 24 minutes to log in? That's like nothing..like a 100 something calories A half hour on my eliptical is a lot more calories than that.. Or do you think It would be more calories burned because of what you do in these workouts. I don't understand how 24 minutes a day of exercise is going to make anyone ripped in 30 days...I read on her website that the average person trying to MAINTAIN their weight should exercise about 30 mins a day, but if trying to LOSE weight then about 60 minutes a day. So this doesn't make sense... Can anyone else share their routine if they also tried these DVDs.
I also ordered the 30 day Shred... Results on either? and how did you calculate the exercise. I saw some posts of people talking about themselved doing the shred, so i researched what it was. I just did day two on RIPPED and my body is def sore everywhere something must be working
I've only been on MFP for three weeks so sorry if you guys already talked about this and I'm behind

I'm only on day two so not really much help but I log it as circuit training

circuit training, general.

30 day shred is the video I used to lose all my weight and it is the one I continue to use to tone. I have an HRM and actually burn about 225 when I do the shred. I just started using Ripped and I burn about 250 per workout. Your actual burn would depend on your weight and how much effort you put into the workout. If you don't have an HRM and don't want to buy one (but I would HIGHLY recommend buying one), just log it under "circuit training, general".

At the moment I log it as 30 mins under a new exercise I made but with calories taken from circuit training. I don't really eat all the exercise calories back anyway so don't worry too much about how many it says you burn. But I also run and I feel like I've worked harder doing 30 day shred than doing 30 mins of running so I think it def works. I struggle to do it everyday partly because of doing other things and partly because it makes me ache so much after two of three days I generally have to have a rest day. Although when my kids go back to school in sept I'm going to attempt to do it all five weekdays.
