    I've completed the 30DS 3 times now. The first time I did it everyday for 30 days. The second time I did over 5 days a week and the third time I did it together with Ripped in 30 Days over 6 days, with one rest day. Honestly I would say my results were consistent for all three cycles. However I did lose a little more the first time round. Then again I still prefer to have one rest day per week. My advice is to just listen to your body. It will let you know what's best for you :)

    Jillian's 30 day, 40 day or 60 day slim down using 30 day shred and two other DVDs.

    Turn this 30 day slim down into 45 or 60 days by limiting the workouts to 20 or 25 mins.
    Workout out three or four days a week to make the slim down go more than 30 days, etc.
    If you can get the three DVDs for less than $30 bucks, this will save money or you can do the free Jillian BeFit workouts on YouTube for free.

    Is the 30 day shred good for a beginner as a stand alone exercise? Will I get good results if I ONLY do this workout? I'm planning on doing each level for 2 weeks with 2 days rest on the weekends. Should I incorporate some cardio in addition to this? Opinions and advice are greatly appreciated!

    It' a lot of cardio already. Supplement additional exercise as you have time.

    I am about to start Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. I have heard it produces really good results.

    My question is: is it more effective if you actually do it every day, or if you take rest days? I tried the first workout once a few months ago and my muscles were just ridiculously sore afterwards, to the point where it was hard to even walk around for a few days. I know that muscles need time to rest, but I hear of a lot of people doing this workout every day so that they actually get huge results in 30 days.

    But what I have been doing (that has been working very well so far) is working out and zigzagging calories. I work out every other day, and on these days I eat 1800-2000 calories. On the days in between when I don't work out, it's 1200-1400 calories.

    I'm looking for results as fast as possible, so would I get these results continuing to do what I'm doing and just incorporating the 30 Day Shred into my workout days, or should I just do the 30 Day Shred every day for maximum results? Even if I did it every day, I'm thinking I would just do it 6 days a week and take one day per week as a rest day.

    I started out with JM's 30DS, which I feel is a great beginners program and have now progressed to more extreme workouts by Beach Body. The thing that helped me the most with sore muscles was to take a quality protein shake after my workouts and some good stretches.
    I would say you know your own body better than anyone else, so use this workout with whatever rest days you feel you need, go at a pace that pushes you without hurting you, kept consistent and your fitness will improve to the level where you can take on more every workout. Don't force yourself to be as good as the hard bodies you see on the DVDs, they are professionals, use them for a guide and inspiration only. Good luck
