How do we feel about doing the same workout 6 days a week?

Hopefully, I can give some input on this thread. I don't do 30 day shred, though.

I think besides proper nutrition, one of the most important things that you can possibly do is to never repeat workouts. Always hit every muscle differently. There are so many ways you can isolate each muscle.

I mix it up but strive for 30 minutes of getting off my duff each and every day. Just finishing up a graduate class and motivation has been difficult. For my old (71 yr old) bones, bike, walk, or swim are best suited for me. I don't like structured exercise classes. There is always a size 10 in the row in frot:glasses: n of me and I get to giggling. Why the hell are you here honey, is what I think.

I think it is really important to switch things up - just as you wouldn't get optimal health benefits from eating the exact same thing every day, even if it was basically healthy and low-cal. All of the trainers I have ever talked to have said not to do weight/strength exercise 2 days in a row - your muscles need time to recover and rebuild, otherwise you're not getting the full benefit from your workouts. I lift weights every other day, alternating with cardio, a mix of running, walking, elliptical, and swimming in the summer. That hits all of the different muscles in different ways. Not to mention it keeps you from getting excessively bored, which I would have to think would be a concern if you did the exact same workout 6 days a week.

Conventional thinking by a lot of "experts" says change it up now and then because your body will adjust to the workout and that's when you can plateau and see diminished results. Speaking from experience, changing my routine every couple of weeks has kept me seeing results every week. Even if you do something like ride a real bike instead of a stationary bike. Don't do the same dumbbell biceps curls, etc.

I too use the 30 day shred. I think that since there are 3 different levels, it's not bad to do it for at least 30 days. Each level is different, and it's not the same repetitive workout each time either - you are still using different groups and doing several different things during each workout, each level.

. It does sometimes get irritating listening to Jillian for 10days in a row till you switch levels. So i would just turn on music and mute it.

Yeah I put it on the "music only" mode no commentary it helps! Sometimes volume down too.
I have been doing pilates too, for about a week and walking the dog here and there, nothing major but it's a start.

If you are relatively new to working out then doing the same workout 6 days a week will show you good results. Once your body reaches a point where those specific muscles become used to the exercises you will not see results as quickly as before. So doing the 30 day shred to kick-start a workout regimen is a great idea if you are newer to working out.
