hi, for 30 day shredders, do you do other exercises or work out other than this 20min workout?
Im 5'4, gained 60lbs during pregnancy and wanted to lose 80lbs. I already lost 30 so im down to 50 more.
Do i need more exercises other than 30ds? Im counting calories too.. Thanks!

    First time I just did the Shred alone. Now that I have to work harder to burn as many calories, I need to run and/or bike in addition to the Shred. (One I do pre-work, one post-work)

    Good luck!

    i do the shred,then 30 mins jump rope straight after,but the shred on it's own is a great workout,good combination of strength and cardio,you will burn somewhere in the region of 250- 340 cals depending on sex,build age etc just doing that.

    The shred doesn't burn many calories, but it tones and shrinks like crazy

    I did some zumba and some aquafit classes, in addition to my dance game, but not a lot of set 'exercises'

    That worked for me :)

    I'm going to alternate 30DS with Couch to 5k. So on the 'rest days' from C2K I'm going to do 30DS. I tired 30DS earlier in the year and got half way through and lost 2 inches from my waist and several pounds, but got bored quickly. So am hoping the running alternating with Jillian will help this time around!

    I walk my dogs for around 45 mins to an hour and then do 30DS.

    when i did the 30ds i also hit the elliptical for 20 to 30 minutes every other day. I also upped my water intake and ate oatmeal and one boiled egg each day.
