    Ah. Well, at least that makes me no longer feel guilty about missing a day after four in a row :-p.

    I alternate 3 of her videos. the 30 day shred, the ab, and the buns & thigh video. I go through all three and then repeat and it works great. The ab and buns & thigh videos are a little longer than the shred approx 35min.

    do it with other cardio and strength training exercises? Well, I'm pretty much swamped doing the 20 min workout.. and yeah, I agree..they should've made it clear when the DVD came out!

    ^^^This.....ughhh!

    I even did it twice in one day as I'd missed it the day before!!! Ha Ha! I was happy to try to do it for 30 days in a row (did 34 days with 4 days off). However I did Burn Fat Boost Metabolism today for the first time and it was AMAZING! Felt like such a good work out! I'll probably do this a 3-4 times a week and alternate with other dvd workouts!

    I honestly think she did intend for it to be everyday (hence, 30 Day) and probably received backlash because of a lot of people hurting themselves.

    I agree that the initial intention was daily. And as far as 400 pound people doing regular jumping jacks everyday, I don't buy it. I'm not that heavy, but my knees were a mess.

    Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure she says at the end of level 2 "see you tomorrow"...

    I've been doing it 3-4 times a week and I spend longer than 10 days at each level mostly because I also belong to a gym and do other stuff, but even if I didn't, I don't think I could take her voice daily...

    I am on day 4 of level 3 today. I was curious about this post because I had assumed it was supposed to be done every day, which I have done. So, I looked at her website and couldn't find anything related to this topic. I decided to send an email through the Jillian Michaels website and see what they said. Here is the email I received:

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting customer support. The 30 day shred is intended to be used consecutively for 30 days doing each level for 10 days.

    I hope this helps!

    It's been about a year since I did this, but I was pretty sure on the main menu, or somewhere on the actual dvd (not on the case) there was something that said 4-5 times per week. I did hear her say that on her podcast, though. I'm so glad she got her radio show back, I've learned a lot from listening to her!

    Ok, had to edit because I just read the above post. That would be crazy! You have to give your muscles time to heal. :huh: Maybe someone should forward that to Jillian.

    I just went out and bought the 30DS dvd today. I figured it would be like any other exercise - do it as frequently as you are comfortable, take a break for recovery when needed. I'm not going to freak out on myself if I miss a day here and there. With 2 kids to keep up with, it's not likely that I could do 30 days back-to-back even if it were easy. And it's probably going to kick my butt. LOL
