I have seen a lot of great results from people doing 30 day shred, all doing it without days off. I do not have 30 days in a row with access to a TV to do this.

Is it worth doing it every so often along with what I usually do? (running, weights etc) or should I just give up on the idea of incorporating a DVD workout?

Has one else done 30DS and had results without doing it everyday?

Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences

    I would still do it. I have always heard that it is good to vary your workouts as much as possible. I really like 30 ds, I think you can get benefit from it even if you can't do it every day. If you already workout a lot maybe jump to level 3 and do it as often as you can.

    When I did it, I think I had 2 days off a week, it takes longer than 30 "straight" days. But you can still do it x

    If you don't really like DVD workouts then what you're already doing is probably plently. If you were looking to incorporate a DVD workout, 30 Day Shred is a good one! Like someone else said you might want to do Level 2 or 3. It's really effective for how quick it is, and it's always good to vary your workout schedule anyway. I did the shred every day, but now I do Ripped in 30 twice a week along with other workouts and I'm continuing to see results.

    In Jillians blog she says NOT to do it for 30 days straight - do 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 1 day rest. That is what I have been doing.....I hated the idea of working the same muscles for 10 days with no chance for them to recover/heal/rest!

    As long as you are doing something it won't matter if you do this particular workout everyday. It is a great cardio/muscle endurance workout.

    I mix it in with my marathon training and strength routine. Its great for days when I don't have a lot of time to exercise. It forces me to do pushups, which I hate. I've really come to like having these short, all-around exercises mixed in.

    It's not intended to be done every day, and Jillian recommends a rest day (or two) a week. I started on Sept 1 and have had 4 rest days, and so far I've lost 4 lbs and 11.75".
