Probably not. Or maybe. It depends on your current weight and lifestyle. When I first started working out, I was a major couch potato so just doing 20-30 minutes a day for the first month was enough to help me drop 10 pounds (in conjunction with a good diet.)

Now that I've shifted a lot of weight, I really have to move to get similar results. I run 35-40 minutes 4 days a week and do the Slim in 6 Burn workout plus 30 minutes of strength training 2-3 days a week. For me, the cumulative effect of major exercise plus a clean diet helps me build in a calorie deficit that leads to weight loss.

(I've been interested in throwing the Shred workouts into my rotation. I'll have to follow that link upstream to see what others think.)

Hope this helps some!!!
