I am adding in 30 day shred into my daily activities to get up and get moving. I also want to keep up with my lifting routine and swimming. My question is Do you think that would be to much on my body (I'm sedentary and don't work so its a way I can get off the couch and move) and i notice programs like that don't have any rest days why is that?

    Build in a rest day anyway. Your body needs at least one day of recovery to let your muscles do their thing. How often do you lift and/or swim? Since shred is only 20 minutes you could definitely skip a day or two, especially since it also incorporates strength (but ups the calorie burn by adding cardio with it).

    i "try" to swim 5 days a week and lift 3 days a week. I am also implementing C25K and I will ride my bike a few times a week.Its kind of become my job to stay active since I'm not working anymore I just don't want to over do it. I figured since the shred isn't long it probably would be to hard on my body.
