30 day shred?

ms_leanne

I think I'll do 30DS and then see about RI30. Can't hurt to do both!

I'm currently doing both the 30 day shred AND 6 week 6 pack

I like it and I like her approach too. Rather than 10 days each level I've jyst kept going at eavh one until I could complete it without modifying or stopping - about done on L2 now. I like the way she doesn't assume everyone is a gym bunny but at the same time doesn't treat you like an idiot

Jillian herself wishes no one did this anymore

Her "upgraded" version of this is called "Ripped in 30" and has 4 levels - you do 5 days at each level, have 2 rest days and then move on.

In my opinion RI30 is more fun than 30DS, but both get excellent results

It's suggested you work out 5 or 6 days out of 7, but not to take more than one rest day at a time.

I have dusted off my copy again after injuring myself last year with it (I ripped my thigh muscle ) but I am willing to try it again, I am aiming for at least a 6 day week work out which includes running, zumba/bokwa and horrible Jillian Michaels!

I started doing this and the first time after I couldn't walk properly for 3 days. Then completely seperately I tore all the ligaments in my left foot, so been out of the exercise loop for 8 weeks now. Awaiting the all clear from the physio on the 31st! I will be joing the gym for swimming but intend to do this too! It was an excellent workout although the music was boring. Like lift music.

I wasn't that impressed with it and, like some people have said, it can get boring. And even with mixing in the cardio and increasing levels, I do think you'd see more advantage from more variation.
It's worth a go, if you can get it for free.
For me it was a disadvantage only being 25 mintues as it seems to be set up to be done on its own, rather than worked in with another workout. I think my body was confused to be cooling down so quickly!
I'd rather mix and match Blogilates workouts, to be honest. But each to their own.
