30 day Shred Questions about Additional Exercise

I am in the process of doing 30 day shred, except I do it an average of 5 days a week. I also do another circuit type excersize most days, as well as walk... I have 2 dogs, so I have to walk them I have not weighed myself for a bit... but clothes are getting looser, if that is any help. 30 day shred is hard, especially at first... if you are terribly sore, give your body a break for a day to avoid injury. Best of luck to you, and don't give up... it does get easier!

I did the 30 shred for 15 days then injured my knee at work.. I was already on level 3 so it was impossible fpr me to continue.. But I lost 8lbs and a few inches by then.
I didn't do any extra exercises but I do work in theatre and live in nyc, so I walk ALOT and I and doing a lot of physical activities at work.

my knee is getting better so I am about to start over again. Find the motivation to keep going and it will be worth it

P.S. for the one who asked. 30 day shred is a 20 minute exercise that you are supposed to do everyday for 30 days, it works very well.

I'm no expert on the 30 Day Shred, but I'm living proof it works!! I have done all three levels, I'm just about finished with level 3. I'd say 90% of the weight I lost (45lbs) has been because of the Shred.

I was up to 238 when I started I'm at 191. I'm excited and proud of how far I made it. I remember day 1 of Level 1 and remembering just crying b/c I couldn't even do the 30 seconds of jumping jacks without feeling like I was dying.

Now, I must say, some days I did other exercises but on average I just did the 'Shred' 5-6 times a week. I would walk with my sons in the evenings or sometimes, especially lately, I've tried my hand at some jogging. (Not too terribly much, I don't have the time to get outside when it isn't terribly hot.

But let your body be your guide on if you want more exercise. There were days I wanted more. Today was one for me, I did 2 segments...Level 2 and then Level 1. I felt it today. Some days my body just wants more exercise, some days that tape just fits.

Best of luck to you, I hope you have lots and lots of success with it. I find it a lot of fun and motivating!

I currently do the 30 day shred and although it is hard to get through, I need to burn additional calories. So in addition to doing 30 day shred 6 times a week. I add cardio (cycling) for 30 minutes and strength training at least 4 days a week. The days I do strength training on my arms I don't use weights the following day with the shred. Its too much for my arms. Maybe after I lose more weight I can do both. I have been doing the shred for a week and only lost a pound. ( But I am going to keep at it and hope for the best. Best of luck to you! :happy:

I'm 12 days in and on Level 2. I've not lost a lot of weight with it, but I know my legs and arms are getting toned (I'd rather see more loss of inches around my mid-section, though). I think Level 2 is going to be more effective for me than Level 1...kind of wish I'd switched sooner. I'm doing it 6-7 times a week and I do other workouts if I feel the need or need to earn/burn more calories. I enter it in the exercise journal as "Circuit Training...20 minutes" under the Cardio section.
