I bought Insanity a few months ago and did the first 2 weeks of it but my marathon training got too much to do with Insanity. My marathon is now over and I'm ready to do something!!

I saw great results in just 2 weeks of Insanity...but I am hearing awesome things (& seeing awesome results!) about 30 day shred!!

What are your inputs, suggestions, comments, preferences?! I'll take anything you got :)

    They do not compare! 30 day Shred, (which I've done) is an awesome program if you are just starting out on your fitness quest. If you've already done a marathon, (congratulations!) you are way past Shred! If you want to do circuit training, (like shred) go for Jillians longer DVD No More Trouble Zones. However, Insanity, (Love it, but couldn't finish due to injury :sad: ) is such an awesome program I have a hard time recommending anything over it. Good luck! I hope this helps!

    i've never done either (even being a Beachbody coach), but i would say Insanity would be more intense and give you a more ripped look. what are you going for?
    it is also my understanding that most of the Shred workouts are around 30 min....much less time, so the results would be less.

    I absolutely love Insanity. 30 Day Shred, not so much. I'm not a Jillian fan though, because I'm too busy correcting her form and screaming at the tv to stand to do her workouts. I did do the workout though, once, and thought it was too light for someone who is already well trained. If you want something weight training wise that goes good with Insanity since Insanity doesn't do more then body weight, I'd suggest P90X. I did my own rotation alternating the two systems back in May and it was tough! But Awesome!
