    Hi everyone, I started the 30DS (level 1) last week but haven't touched it since. I have a couple of questions, how often do you guys do the workout? Do you rest between days, or alternate with different types of exercise? Also, what kind of weights do you use? I saw some earlier posters said 2lb or 3lb. What would you guys recommend?

    Thanks in advance for your replies.

    I workout 5 days straight and then take the weekends off so this means I take two weeks to do each level. I use 3lb weights which is difficult enough for me as I have not done any strength training before. And I log it as circuit training.

    Today will be day 5 of Level 3! So close to having completed the whole shred and so proud of myself for sticking to it. Getting great results!

    Glad a few more of you up for this! :) I have been away all weekend but going to do level 1 day 6 tonight, looking forward to getting back on it! I was using 2lb weights but found them too easy, now using 3lb, find it a little hard on some reps now but am sure I will grow stronger! As for how to log on my fitness pal, I do as circuit training but amend the calories...
    I read that 30 day shred calorie burn - 3.267 calories burnt per pound every hour. Multiply by weight to get how many calories per hour you would burn and divide by 3 to get each 20 minute work out
    That is what I am using although the beginner shred is not as intense as the normal shred, so I reduce a little more too...

    Level 1 day 6 done! Still feel like I am working hard! Did the advanced move on two more exercises today and the one set of weights I struggled with, I tried to do some at least! I am going away in a week with work so want to finish level 1 by then...

    I am on day 6 level 1. I do take rest days in between. I would say i rest every 4 days or so. I use 5 and 3 pound weights. It depends on the exercise

    Has anybody completed the Beginner Shred and moved onto the 30 Day Shred? I'm wondering what the transition will be like
