I think any day of working out is great, so I don't know how many days you "should" do. It is called the 30 day shred and says you can lose up to 20 pounds in thirty days, so I imagine you would need to do that videos everyday for maximum results. They have different levels too. I think if you do it a couple times a week…

The workout is three 6 minute circuits. 3 minute strength, 2 minutes cardio, 1 minute abs. I have an HRM I wear during workouts that calculates my calories burned. It really does get your heart rate up too.

Wow. I tried it for the first time today and my butt is whooped. I know there are other 30 day shredders that started their own checkings. Today was my first day and on level one. Is anyone interested in creating a new group on Monday? I burned 235 calories with today's workout.

Ohhh that does sound yummy!

I posted in that one thanks. I am asking for DIFFERENT recipes then what are posted there. Thanks for the "Help" though. I might go with the chicken parm again. It is delicious, I was just hoping to find something quick and easy.

Okay. So I need to make dinner tonight and I need ideas! I have boneless skinless chicken breast. Preferably something I can bake...I tried the Chicken Parmigan already, so I am looking for something else. =D

I made the Chicken Parmigan tonight...SO GOOD! I don't like my cooking much, but this was delicious.

Does it have to be stale bread?

Also, what exactly are "italian seasonings" I appreciate this thread btw. I logged on to ask for chicken recipes myself and I smiled because this was the first thread I saw =D

I had a hard time following your directions. It sounds really nummy thought. Do you have a precise recipe by chance?

I saw this in Self Magazine from Jillian Michael;s. It's hard. I do it on the treadmill and I feel like I am going to fly off when I get to 9. Plus the treadmill makes a really loud noise when I go that high. I think I land heavy. =(

I got the F4 and it doesn't have interference. It works great and I personally think it is easier to use than the F6. Either way Polar is a good brand and has lots of options so you can choose what is right for you.

I might die. haha

Cool =D I was just concerned that while the workout may be intense, that 20 minutes wouldn't be enough. A lot of people say that your body gets the most benefits after 45 minutes =(

I am having a hard time getting myself to go down to the gym today, but I just got my 30 day shred DVD and am wondering if that would be a good enough workout for the day. Or you can kick my butt to go. =D

I haven't had that problem either. I put it on right below where my sports bra ends. I don't get any scratching or rubbing.

I weighed myself this morning before working out and I was 143lb. When I got back from working out my scale said 144lb. Is there a reason why I would weight a pound more when I didn't eat? Could be because of water?

Does anyone have healthy recipes that will fix my chocolate need? I am going crazy without chocolate but I don't want to over do it!

OOOOh! Awesome! =D

If the last 20 minutes of a work out is most effect then how good is doing only 20 minutes?

Thank you! That is what I was wondering. A lot of people say you have to eat your exercise calories. I just don't know if not eating them all would hinder weight loss.

Sorry if this seems stupid. I don't burn 1000 calories myself, not yet at least and I know that when I burn 200-300 I get excited that I get to eat 1500 calories instead of 1200 (though sometimes I find it hard to eat that much) So thinking if eating over 2000 and still being able to lose weight makes my head spin.

Okay, I know why we are supposed to eat out exercise calories but when I was reading how many calories some of you burn a day it made me question if we are supposed to eat that much. Say you set your caloric intake to 1200 a day. But then you exercise and burn 1000 does that mean you are supposed to eat 2200 calories?

So what is this workout good for? Is it cardio?

Yes, I did enter my weight, age etc into the Polar. Everything it asked! =D the treadmill asks for weight and age.

Thanks. It's just crazy to me because everything I read on here people were saying that the treadmill was saying they were burning more calories than they actually were. However, for me my HRM says I am burning more calories than my treadmill says.

"they" meaning most people on this site have said that equipment says you burn many more calories than you really are.

I got my new polar last week and I did pilates with it on and it said I burned 263 in one hour! Then today I did the treadmill and it said I burned 180 calories in 18 minutes which is MORE than what the treadmill itself said. The treadmill said I burned 105 calories. Is this really accurate? I thought the treadmills would…

It means that it won't interfere with other peoples HRMS. People are saying the F4 does not do that, but the website says that the F4 is coded.

Oh Hooray! I am starting to regret buying my F4 because everyone has an F6 =( From what I read the F4 is good and is coded so it won't interfere. So glad you are motivated! I wish I had a treadmill at home.
