I started the 30 day shred yesterday and I'm wondering if I'm suppose to do it everyday? I was planning on alternating 30 day shred with yoga meltdown or shred it with weights. I also do cardio on my treadmill for an hour at night. I want great results, so I'm willing to do it everyday if that's what's best.

    Some people do it as a 30-day program (thus the title!) but personally I think it's more effective to mix it up. I especially like that you're throwing more cardio in there, because you just don't get that much with that short DVD. That said, I love all of JMs DVDs. Just did level 1 in addition to Insanity yesterday!

    I have Shred It wiith Weights but haven't tried it. How is it?

    I tried shred it with weights level one on Saturday and I was still sore on Monday. It seemed pretty easy the first 10 minutes, but I was pretty tired by the end. Good Luck!

    Hi,

    It takes around 30mins in total, maybe a little less, and that's including a warm up/cool down. There are 3 sections, each consisting of 3min strength, 2min cardio, and 1min abs, plus the 2 mins of warm up and cool down. So 22 min in total, plus a bit of chat :). There are 3 levels, so it gets harder as you get better! Good luck if you decide to get it - I'm already feeling better at it and I've just done level 1 day 9.

    Well darn, I just realized the 30 day shred isn't on on demand anymore and I have no clue where my dvd is. I went ahead and did shred it with weight (also On Demand) and it was awesome!! I think I like shred it with weights more than 30 day shred. I'm just trying to figure out how to log it.

    I just started it this weekend, and I am NOT doing it every day. First of all, I was way too sore after doing it for two days straight. Second, I like a little more cardio and this only has 6 minutes of cardio total. I plan to do it every other day-ish, and mix in other cardio in between.
