Is the 30 day shred good for a beginner as a stand alone exercise? Will I get good results if I ONLY do this workout? I'm planning on doing each level for 2 weeks with 2 days rest on the weekends. Should I incorporate some cardio in addition to this? Opinions and advice are greatly appreciated!0

I think a beginner will be able to do it. There are modified versions of the exercises that are comparatively easier to do. And it will depend a bit on the weights you decide to use too.Is the 30 day shred good for a beginner as a stand alone exercise? Will I get good results if I ONLY do this workout?

ETA: Standalone if the DOMS is too bad. Depends on your fitness level, really.0 -

You're welcome.
All the best!0 -
give yourself rest days, and do more stretching at the end than what the video shows (esp calves) - its painfully inadequate.0

Ok so I had bariatric surgery 2 years ago and in the past year i have gained back 15 pounds, this due to my excessive beer drinking, bad eating, and i also started the nursng program fulltime. i blame all of that on my weight gain lol. anyway, i decided to get these pounds off before i walk the stage in a couple weeks. I am on day 9 of the 30 day shred and i have done it daily, i dont skip a day, i am on a 1200 cal diet using fitness pal and i also stopped drinking beer. i havent lost so much as weight, i think maybe 4 pounds but i am down to a size 10 from a 12. my stomach and arms are not so flabby. So when doing this do not get discouraged because u are not losing pounds because you may be losing inches and gaining muscle. sorry for rambling on about this. lol. good luck everyone.0

I've started this workout video but don't know how to add it to my exercise. The search doesn't recognize her video and idk if I should add it to strength or cardio since the video covers both. Also I don't know how many calories to say I've burned. How did you guys log it?0

I'm wondering the same thing - I've logged it as "circuit training, general", but I was a bit disappointed by the no. of calories it gave me for it... >.<0 -
I was wondering how everyone did endurance wise. I've heard that this really helped with endurance however I just finished L1D6 and it seems like each day is getting worse for me. I'm planning on taking a rest day tomorrow to see if that helps but D1-3 were a lot easier for me than D4-6 and I haven't changed to Natalie's versions of the exercises or anything.0

Jillian's 30 day, 40 day or 60 day slim down using 30 day shred and two other DVDs.
Turn this 30 day slim down into 45 or 60 days by limiting the workouts to 20 or 25 mins.
Workout out three or four days a week to make the slim down go more than 30 days, etc.
If you can get the three DVDs for less than $30 bucks, this will save money or you can do the free Jillian BeFit workouts on YouTube for free.

I've completed the 30DS 3 times now. The first time I did it everyday for 30 days. The second time I did over 5 days a week and the third time I did it together with Ripped in 30 Days over 6 days, with one rest day. Honestly I would say my results were consistent for all three cycles. However I did lose a little more the first time round. Then again I still prefer to have one rest day per week. My advice is to just listen to your body. It will let you know what's best for you 0

It' a lot of cardio already. Supplement additional exercise as you have time.0 -
I am about to start Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred. I have heard it produces really good results.
My question is: is it more effective if you actually do it every day, or if you take rest days? I tried the first workout once a few months ago and my muscles were just ridiculously sore afterwards, to the point where it was hard to even walk around for a few days. I know that muscles need time to rest, but I hear of a lot of people doing this workout every day so that they actually get huge results in 30 days.
But what I have been doing (that has been working very well so far) is working out and zigzagging calories. I work out every other day, and on these days I eat 1800-2000 calories. On the days in between when I don't work out, it's 1200-1400 calories.
I'm looking for results as fast as possible, so would I get these results continuing to do what I'm doing and just incorporating the 30 Day Shred into my workout days, or should I just do the 30 Day Shred every day for maximum results? Even if I did it every day, I'm thinking I would just do it 6 days a week and take one day per week as a rest day.
I started out with JM's 30DS, which I feel is a great beginners program and have now progressed to more extreme workouts by Beach Body. The thing that helped me the most with sore muscles was to take a quality protein shake after my workouts and some good stretches.
I would say you know your own body better than anyone else, so use this workout with whatever rest days you feel you need, go at a pace that pushes you without hurting you, kept consistent and your fitness will improve to the level where you can take on more every workout. Don't force yourself to be as good as the hard bodies you see on the DVDs, they are professionals, use them for a guide and inspiration only. Good luck0
