Keep up w/ any cardio for calorie burn/fat reduction and lots of squats and lunges. All different forms and kinds. With and without weights.

Google............ because I googled some of the words I did not know!!! :noway:

What was your max HR? How about average? What is your resting HR? How long were you "in the zone"? Maybe only account for the amount of time you were in the zone. I personally wouldn't record it at all, but then again my HR probably wouldn't have been over 90.

You look 20 years younger... no joke. Great job!!

I think you will get really bored with this. If you want to to each level for 30 days I would do 3 cycles of it, increasing your weight each time. A lot of people do it for 30 days w/o breaks, but I was able to go harder and stronger doing it only 5-6 days per week. On my off days I would take an "active rest" day doing…

I'd say abou 90 lbs. You do NOT need to lose any more.

My workplace already bans smoking on campus and starting next year we get a $30 per month "discount" on insurance for meeting a number of critera including not smoking.

Try being small to being with............ then losing.

I would say it's very accurate.

I'm sure his health "improved" because of the weight loss. Anybodys health is going to improve a little bit from losing 27 lbs.

You all are so inspiring!!!

I do it with people living below me! My neighbors probably hate me. I'm about to start Day 1 Level 2 again tomorrow. This will be my 3rd time doing the 30 days. (not back to back)

I mix my Herbalife protein into my greek yogurt a lot. That and chia seeds...... does it give it a different texture? yes, but I like it.

So true!!! Even moderate amount of Saturated fats aren't bad for you. I would be more worried about eating highly processed junk and refined carbs. Studies are showing (no I don't have a link.... I just recall hearing about it) that these are more of a culprit for high cholesterol and heart disease. Whether its true or…

I am doing Ripped as well and have done The Shred.... using my HRM. I burn more in Ripped, even tho the shred felt more difficult! I have added both to my workouts. I don't know if it adds them to the data base or not.

Me too!!! Makes me know what I am doing is working. To OP, stick with it and you'll condition those muscles and they wont be sore any more.

saving for future reference!

I have a HRM and I made my own exercise and logged it as "Jillian Michaels- 30 Day Shred" when I did it.

I use them every now and then added to breakfast smoothies or oatmeal- it helps me reach my protein levels.

So slender size 6 women are not "real women"?

Just dive in and DO it.... do as much of each exercise as you can. Take a 5 second breather and continue. It takes a lot of willpower and determination to complete it, but you CAN do it. Also, follow the modified moves. If you can't do a push up, do them on your knees... as you bulid yourself up and get stronger do as many…

It is never okay to go below 1200 calories. This is BAD advice. to OP it is quite possible you are not eating enough. What does your protein intake look like? How much weight do you want to lose?

Sunflower seeds and pepper!

It absolutely can be considered cardio.....and how is it not strength? Just because you're not lifting weights doesnt meant its not strength.

Everybody has differing opinions, but from everything I was taught in college for the average person 0.8-1.2 g per kg (not pounds) of body weight is actually what is recommened for protein.

same! Moderation is key... I would rather have a little extra fat and calories than the stuff thats in the artificial stuff.

Living in Michigan I know all about running in COLD weather. Wear moisture wicking clothing and wear layers. Wear something to cover your nose/mouth.... preferably moisture wicking so it doesn't bulid up moisture from your exhalation. Warm up before you go out. Try not to think about the cold!

get a leather punh.... or use a nail and hammer.. and make a new hole.

I took a rest day 1 day a week. Wasn't always the same day of the week. I didn't get amazing results like some people do, but I definitely noticed more definition in my abs, arms and thighs as well as feeling stronger. Also: it is your workout. If you feel you need a rest day .. take it. You know your body, you know if you…
