30 Day Shred Question

I purchased this video today, and I have 2 questions. (1) Do you have to do the 30 days consistently? and (2) Do you normally do another exercise as well, example Elliptical?

    I also have the 30 Day Shred - I did it for 5 days and then gave myself a break (when I can repeat her sentences word for word, its time for a break). I plan to do it 3 times a week (its a great DVD) and if I'm up to it, I will do a walking program either that morning or before hand, so I'm not exhausted. I also like to do a 15 minute ab program too on Exercise on Demand.

    Good Luck, hope this helped!

    Jillian says you can just do this and eat healthy. She doesn't mention a break but it's good to have a day off a week because your body needs a break. There were times when I just did the 30 day shred and it did make a difference in my body. But when I did the work out in combination with elliptical or running it really boosted my metabolism. But I know a couple of people personally who only did that and ate right and that's all they needed. I would do it for a week and see how you feel. If you feel like you had a great workout and don't need anymore then listen to your body. If you feel like you could do more, then do a little more. You always have to push yourself.

    I do one circuit of the shred 3-4 times a week in addition to other exercise. I think it all depends on what your goals are. I think if I boosted it to 5 times per week I would see quicker results. I've been doing the shred for about 2 months and have lost several inches. Good luck!

    I only use the shred about 3 times a week. But I also walk, run and use some of her other DVD's as well.

    to get the best results with 30 day shred you need to do it everyday for 30 days along with other cardio workouts.

    Right now I am up to doing Level 2 twice a day (I do it in the morning by myself 5 days a week and then in the evening with my husband every day) I also walk on the treadmill or outside. Its proven a good combo for me. My husband and I are on day 17 (I just started it doing it 2x a day this past week). We plan to do it together the whole 30 days straight then after that either try a new dvd or do it every other day. The 30 day time line is if you want fast results.

    You can do extra cardio exercise with the Shred. I recommended to a coworker to get the JM Yoga Meltdown to give her knees a break on her 4th workout day.
