For all you girls and guys who have done both of these, do you reckon it is possible/advisable to do both programmes at the same time?
as thye are only about 20 minutes long i was thinking of doing one in the morning and one at night (i sit on my bum all day at work, plenty of time to recover).
from what ive heard on these boards they dont burn up much calories per session so if you do both will it be better or would you just start to get WAY to tired when it comes to doing the higher levels?
any info would be appreciated

.s, i also live in a country town, which means i cant get out much. i only have 2ld weights at home, any idea for upping the weights and how could i do this? or is 2lbs enough? i doubt it

    when i did 30ds i used 5-8lb weights, and burned about 250 calories each time. there were a few days that i doubled up on that, so i dont think doing 30ds and Ri30 would be too difficult as long as youre eating enough and dont feel too weak.

    I am plannin to do 30 day shred in Jan. It'll gonna be my 2nd workout of the day... In the mornings I am gonna hit the gym and in the evenings I will do the 30 day shred... Like you said it's only 20 minutes long just space them out so you give your body a lil time to rest between workouts and eat to fuel so you don't feel drained!!!

    Not to lecture you OP, and I say this out of concern alone, but I just looked at your diary and I don't think you should be having this few cals without medical supervision xx

    I looked at about a week of your diary. Maybe add some cheese sticks (I get low sodium). Almonds. Consider whole grain breads instead of the tortillas.

    I did 30day shred and did not burn very many calories also it is not good to do the exact same exercises each day-your body adapts and no longer has to work so your results will be minimal. Change it up! Add weights, cardio etc.

    You could try adding fruit, veggies, dried fruit, nuts, what about more meat/fish/cheese/soya/tofu. You could look at a JM cookbook and see if that gives you some ideas for healthy eating. I would say you need to aim to net about 1,200 cals per day to have enough energy to encourage your body to build lean muscle and shed fat, while having enough energy for those workouts - again this is well-meaning advice, everyone is different, but I think very low-cal diets (ie. under 1,200 cals net) should have medical supervision.

    Yes, I think JM is great, but you are right, I think that the exercises, although great and they do work, they do get repetitive after a while. xx

    Thanks for all your help ladies! I will try to eat more,
    from what i noticed is last week (where i ate a fair amount above/near my 1200 cal intake), i gained 3kg, wheras if i stuck around the 1000 mark, i tended to loose it but i love eating s good news for me!

    Ive decided to do ripped in 30 for my morning workout, and then maybe a sparticus workout, or changing it up in the arvo, itts only day 2 of 30DS and RI30 and im bored!!!
