6 week shred

I'm just wondering if anyone wants to join me in this? It'd be nice to have a little group of supporters.
It's just the 30 day shred spread out over 6 weeks, I don't believe in consistently working out for 30 days without a break - yes, people have seen great results from it but it isn't good for the body.
I intend on doing it 5 days per week, 2 weeks at each level and including cardio at least 2 days per week (depending on my work schedule, up to 4 days). Is anyone interested?

    I'll have to get the DVD but I'll do it with you, right now I'm mainly running and doing a little, very little, free weights and squats/sit-ups/push-ups. It be nice to start doing something new!

    Actually I've read a quote from jillian that says it should only be 4 times per week but 30 days total. Guess the DVD should make that clear though.

    Oh yay! I'm glad there are other people doing something similar :).

    sgmomma, what kind of results did you see?

    Yeah, I've heard loads of different things that Jillian is meant to have said about it, it isn't particularly clear on how often it should be done. The name is highly misleading too haha.

    That's about what I'm doing now. I started two weeks ago and did it 3 or 4xs a week while running a few days. This past week I kind of slacked tho LOL. But I'm on week 3 going into level 2. I'd love to still hop in with you guys though.

    I did for 12 days straight this month and went back to my treadmill...serious burnout. Every other day is a much better idea, I think.

    Count me in! I have just started using MFP last week and love it. I am walking with my neighbor (who got me started here!) and want to add the 30DS. I haven't started yet so this is a good reason to!

    Awesome, we've got a good little team of people now :), even if we aren't all doing it at the same time it'll be good to know there are people doing a similar thing.

    well, thanks for your contribution.

    I started it. I had the exact same approach you do. I got level 1 off of YouTube. Then I went to go download level 2 from Amazon. It won't let me download because I currently live in another country. Blah. So I ordered the full DvD and have to wait for my copy. Truthfully, I'm glad it happened that way because my knees needed some healing. I'm a little nervous about starting again if my knees act up again but I'm trying to think positively.

    It's only a 20 minute workout so I don't see the big deal. Insanity DVDs are 45-60 minutes done 6x a week. I did the 30 day shred and any days I missed, I made up for by doing it twice the next day. I also did cardio like walking or running several days a week. I loved the program! I'm not onto the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution.

    I've already started, four days ago, but I'd be happy to do it with you if you'd like some support :)!

    I am on week 4 of the 5day/week schedule you exactly described. I am on week two of Level 2 and will be moving to Level3 next week, week 5.
    I can REALLY tell the difference. I also walk 3 times a week for an hour each for some extra cardio.
    What happens after the SHRED???? I think I'll keep rotating through the levels as long as they keep making me sweat :-)
    and my muscles burn :-)

    And Level 2 plank pose exercises are killing me. But I love the burn :-)
