Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and Ripped in 30 Questions

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 :)

    Hahaha, try logging 'circuit training, general' under cardio. Trust, it burns a lot of calories ;)

    I have Ripped in 30 and I'm pretty sweaty after doing that workout...I burned about 180 calories doing that workout alone. I usually pair it up with my elliptical.

    I have Ripped in 30...but haven't done that one in awhile.

    I have Banish Fat,Boost Metabolism which is circuit training cardio...that one has me dripping with sweat. I burn on average...about 350 calories/workout.

    Love her workouts!
  • I logged it and in the 30 minutes I logged 350 for it.
