30 Day Shred damage?

I did Level 1 for the first time a couple days ago and honestly I don't think I would have been able to do it the next day. My arms, calves and quads were aching quite a lot the next day and still are stiff today. I'll do it again when I'm less sore and in the meantime, do other exercises. I imagine that the more you do 30 day shred the less it will have this effect on you and you'd be able to do it every day with no issues... but I'd advise you to take it a bit easier at first.

It depends on your current fitness level. I found level 1 pretty easy but I've also completed Chalean Extreme & run at least 3x/week. I know several people who alternate the 30DS every other day & do some type of cardio only the off days to mix it up. Good luck!!

I have the 30 day shred DVD and its a pretty good one. As far as muscle tearing, it really depends on your level and how heavy a weight you use. Generally people use heavy weights/low reps to tear muscle (dont worry, it wont make women bulky). If you're less experienced with exercising/using weights then your muscles will tear easier with a lower weight. When I first started doing the video I definitely felt it the next day, but as I progressed I feel it in my muscles less. Now I mostly do days of heavy weight training mixed with cardio. Generally you shouldnt do a total body exercise every day, a lot of people who do strength training will work one or two body parts a day once or twice a week. I like doing back/bicep, chest/tricep/shoulders, legs, then repeating that the next 3 days to workout a total of 6 days. I usually only do workout DVDs when I missed a couple days of training and need to get in a good total body/cardio workout, or just want a fun way to get moving.
