    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 :wink:

    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.
