    I'm about to start day2/level 1 - boy I am SORE this morning!

    I think I will have to do some cardio, whether it is some step or just go for a walk, just to get my aching muscles used to the idea that they're gonna be used!

    As for weights, I'm using 2kg ones which I guess is about 4lbs, seems about right for me, couldn't go any higher.

    I am looking for 'shred buddies' to add so can motivate eachother :)

    Isn't the shred 20 mins???

    I do more than 20 mins, often do 2 of the 3 workouts, sometimes all of them together. Or I use a different DVD with other circuits.

    Sometimes I use it later in the day after 45 min class or gym session... I prefer to aim for 60 mins a day if I can

    if you have the energy and time, definitely do more cardio on top of 30DS. i like to do an extra hour or two. i especially love doing yoga in the evenings, i can feel bouncy and stretchy and it REALLY reduces any muscle soreness i get from 30DS :)

    I would recommend doing some additional cardio with Shred if you are looking to LOSE weight. I think if you were only looking to tone, you would be okay with just Shred.
    But when I do it, I average about 300 calories as well but my muscles feel like they had a workout. When I have just done Shred on its own, I do not see a difference in weight. You could probably do Shred on your "off days"
