    When you do the 30 ds, are you doing any other workouts. I run 3-4 days a week so i like to do this workout on my "off" running days. Just seeing if anyone else is in the same boat.

    I started the 30ds again a couple of days ago after having to take a couple of weeks recovery after an injury. My plan is to workout at the gym/run or do bootcamp on the same days though so I can have 1 full rest day every week.

    What is the 30 Day Shred and how can I join?

    Oh Ive just seen the videos on Youtube - Ive got a rotator cuff injury at the moment and cant exercise too much - I'm a Zumba and Pilates instructor tho. Tore my calf a year ago and have had to be careful with it for ages! I've put on 25 pounds on :-(

    Hi log it as circuit training 20 min
    I just started last night. Do you know how to calculate how many calories you burn in those 20 minutes since you are combining the cardio and strength?

    Would like to know that too. Don't have a monitor/tracker at home either (about to go get one). But have no idea what to log as excercise for level 1 day 1.

    I do the 30 day shred and my exercises on my wii fit right after each other. I was very sore but I stretched and kept going. it is alright as long as you stretch and not push yourself too hard.

    Day 1---Done!! Well sort of. I had to go super light on the last circut because I felt myself getting dizzy, and let me tell you.....

    HOLY UNDERRATED HYDRATION BATMAN!!!!

    I had completely forgot how important it is hydrate until this morning. Please!!! Please if you are going to do this, or any workout, please keep yourself hydrated. A good start is 2 liters of water a day, and no soda and coffee dont count has hydration because the caffine will actually dehydrate you.
    Now, I am super out of shape right now, and I'm not (nor will I ever be) a personal trainer, but there are a few words of wisdom that I would like to inpart on those that want them.

    1) EAT!!! Weither it be before of after you workout, please eat. I personally cant eat before because I will always throw it right back up, but thats just me. Try both ways, and find which works for you, but it is super important to eat and eat right if you are going to do any kind of workout.

    2) DRINK!!! Like I stated above..... hydration is SOOOO underrated!

    3) STRETCH!!! After a really hard workout, I like to take a really hot shower or bath (if I have the time to really soak) and stretch while I'm in the tub (just be careful that you dont slip and bonk your head.) The heat will losen you up so you can get a really deep stretch, which will keep you from cramping and getting too sore if you are first starting out.

    4) LISTEN TO YOUR BODY!!! Only you know if you are pushing too hard, or not hard enough. Muscle pain is good, strive for it. But joint pain is not good. If you feel pain more in you knees and hips than in your muscles, look at how you are doing the exercises, because most likely you are doing something wrong. If you cant figure out what it is that you are doing wrong, ask someone else to watch you do that exercise and tell you if it looks just like the way the trainers are doing it. Breathing hard is ok, but try really hard to keep it controlled. If you feel yourself getting dizzy or lightheaded, DONT STOP but slow down and give yourself a little bit of time to cool down slowly. Drink some water (sips) and walk around, but dont just plop down on the floor. More than likely you are getting overheated because you are dehydrated. When you are dehydrated, your body heat can spike to unsafe temps like 103 or 104. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! If you feel yourself start to pass out or black out, go take a COLD shower. No hot water at all, only cold. Of course you could avoid that all together, if you simply drink the water to begin with!

    But obviously, I am not a doctor. This info I share is all stuff I learned while in the military, and is practiced readily by the military. I have been a heat casualty before. Meaning I didnt hydrate, went on a group run, got over heated, and almost passed out. Now, the Marine Corps response to that is to molest you with a thermometer because that is the fastest and most accuate way to get a body temp. Yeah, mine was 104.3. At that point I got covered with ice and sheets soaked in ice water! Not a pleasant experience. This is my warning to everyone else. Learn from my mistakes..... and drink the flippin water!!!!

    That is all.

    I want to join you all! I logged in for the first time in a long while and I'm embarrassed to say that I have gained all my weight I originally lost so I need to do something. I have tried the 30 day shred several times and never get passed the first day. I simply cannot move the next day! Any advice on how to not be so sore after an intense workout? I read in a magazine to drink cherry juice before a workout. Has anyone tried it?

    I was able to do ten days in a row..Make sure diet has lotsa whole veggies and fruit..Lotsa water and do extra stretching after, also magnesium from nuts and spinach..that will help relax muscles hope this helps..I also di a yoga routine as well some days it helped too
