I’ve never been to snap fitness but here are some guidelines you can use:

-First of all, you need a combination of cardiovascular exercise and strength training. One or the other will not cut it.

-If you do not want to bulk up but just tone your body, you need to do 12-15 reps per set when you are going your strength training. The lighter weights will tone you.

-The most immediate answer would be to see if your gym has circuit training. This is a section of the gym where you do the ’30-minute’ workout, moving from one machine to the other to get a total body body workout.

-Combine this with a cardio program where you use different machines each day (elliptical, stairmaster, treadmill) and mix up your cardio between steady-state cardio (going the same speed for a longer amount of time) with interval training (which features short bursts of high-intensity training).
