I am looking for some advice. I received the 30 Day Shred this past weekend and was very excited to start doing it. (Man that lady kicks your bum!) I'm not looking to do it everyday, as I belong to the gym and don't want to stop going. My question is if I am doing 30DS every other day, would it be harmful to my body to do Circuit Training (which I have been doing prior to getting the 30DS) on the days I don't do the 30 Day Shred? I would double up on the days that I do 30DS and then do just cardio on the off days, but then I would either have to get up at o'dark thirty to get it done or not come home until super o'dark thirty. I am planning to rest one day a week from everything as I did before.

Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

    30DS is considered circuit training and most of us doing it do it every day, so I don't think you should be in too much danger so long as you listen to your body and rest when necessary.

    But, then again, I do not have MD, RN, PhD or any fancy title after my name. I would consult a physician about risks.

    I think that with the 30DS since it is a type of circuit training that you could do 30DS every other day and do cardio on your off days. The two a day circuit training might be a bit much....just a thought.

    30DS is circuit training, lol! Do it every day if you want to, along with the Cardio

    I don't really want to do 30DS everyday, as I enjoy going to the gym as well, which I why I want to do circuit training on the days I don't do it. I really like the workout thus far; I just don't feel like it covers all the muscle groups I was hitting with circuit training alone. I was just curious about off days, because prior to starting 30DS I always did one day circuit training, one day pure cardio to rest after strength training.

    Thanks for all the feedback!
