Get a heart rate monitor and train at 80%+ of you max heart rate for 20 minutes 3 times a week doesn't matter what the exercise is as long as the heart rate is up.

For example:
Row 30 seconds - Easy / Medium
Row 30 seconds - Flat out as hard as you can
Rest 30 seconds
Burpee - 30 seconds
Rest 30 seconds
Row - 30 seconds - Flat out
Rest 30 seconds
Split jumps 30 seconds
Rest 30 seconds
Repeat

Do that 5 times and you will melt the fat away plus the heart rate should be right up there

Thanks all. After the Shred, I will try to maintain at least 5 days a week of cardio, even if it isn't hard core. I'm thinking Couch to 5K since it's something I've never done and hopefully the MN weather will cooperate. I'm still interested in any suggestions for resistance band DVDs.

If you do all that great activity, you'll need to feed that workout better, or your body won't get much stronger and you'll just run into problems of using up glucose stores and digging into muscle breakdown.

I say that because of lower calories, and intense workouts many days in a row - you can reach that state pretty easily.

And that'll hamper your efforts, besides metabolism slowing down anyway.
Remember, if your exercise just used up 800 of the 1300 you ate, on a regular basis, you only gave your body 500 to work with, when a healthy BMR estimate for you is probably upwards of 1500. So it'll have to slow way down to compensate.
