| 0:00.0 | cardio or strength training. What should you focus on if you're trying to burn fat? Well, today in this |
| 0:06.4 | episode of Shalene's show, I'm going to share with you some studies, statistics, and some great |
| 0:11.5 | anecdotal stories that are going to help you make a decision. Because let's face it, we don't have |
| 0:16.5 | all day to work out. You want to make the most of your time in the gym. And if you're a woman who's trying to reduce her body fat, you're in luck because today I'm |
| 0:24.2 | going to share with you the quickest way to melt away fat. |
| 0:28.5 | Hey, thanks for joining me. |
| 0:29.7 | My name is Shalene Johnson. |

| 1:42.9 | teaching fitness classes, had no |
| 1:44.6 | intentions of doing anything full-time in fitness, but I was teaching fitness classes, teaching |
