Ok, so, I have gotten amazing results so far with the 30 day shred and have now developed a total girl crush on Jillian Michaels! I'm finishing up the 30 Day Shred on Saturday and am starting 6 week 6 pack on Monday.

As a treat for doing so well with the 30DS I have bought myself no more trouble zones, 6 week 6 pack and boost metabolism banish fat - I think they're the only ones available in region 2 at the moment.

My question is, what do you guys think I should do, do I do 6 week 6 pack every day or do I mix it up and do a different dvd each day? Anyone got a routine they follow?

In addition to the shred I do bellydancing one class a week and walk at least 2 miles every day.

Any advice would be awesome :)

    I love her too...I've done the shred twice now and still use it sometimes. I love no more trouble zones, I do it twice a week for strength training...I'd do a mix, keep it fresh :)

    I am just amazed at your fitness the 30DS floored me, and I have shelved it in favour of being able to walk.

    I would choose another DVD but go back to the 30DS once a week to make sure you still have that fitness. Then I would add another and so forth.

    You will be bootilicious in no time:happy:

    I'm a huge fan of Banish Fat Boost Metabolism.. I feel it gives me a real work out but there isn't much stregnth training in it.. so it depends what you're looking for I guess.

    I have a total crush on Jillian too, she's on the Doctors today and she's going to start Co-hosting :smile:

    I love her dvds! You should try her newest one Ripped in 30. It is set up like the Shred but its a teed bit harder and I saw amazing results in my arms and waist within the first two weeks!!

    I have her BFBM and her 6W6P (which I just got done doing) I would say do alternate days of those two that way you have the cardio from BFBM to blast away the fat and then the ab strengthening and toning from 6W6P. Plus BFBM is pretty long and intense so it can get boring and hard to do daily, but it is worth throwing in your workout 3-4 days a week :)

    Good luck!

    I have 30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30 and Shred It with Weights (for kettlebell). I alternate between all 3. I'm on Level 2 of the Shred, Week 3 of Ripped, and Level 1 of Kettlebell. Honestly, I miss Week 2 on Ripped and I'm going to Level 2 on Kettlebell tomorrow. She has a lot of similar activities in her DVDs so sometimes you get an easy day by accident by spicing it up!

    This is great to hear, I started this a few weeks ago and was very good until I hurt my back, started again last night and hoping to continue for 30 days. Thanks for the inspiration. Did you split up the 3 workouts throughout the 30 days? I was thinking of doing them each 10 days unless I feel I can progress faster.

    I haven't tried them (except for 30DS), but I tend to get bored quickly if I'm constantly doing the same workout over and over, so I personally would mix them up.

    I did 10 days of each level as they work different muscles in different ways also, my fitness level was not good when I started. Getting there now though!

    It is a mix up uphill, downhill and flat because I walk to/from work and also round the park by my house. I think I'm definitely more likely to exercise at home than at the gym. The shred makes me a bit sweaty redfaced mess - no-one wants to look like that in public!!

    As you know I am into week 5 of 6week 6 pack. The way not to get bored with doing it is to start off doing the modified moves then do the advanced moves and then do the advanced moves with ankle weights. Before long it is time to go up to level 2 and you repeat the process.

    I do 6 week 6 pack 4 or 5 times a week then gym twice a week. I also get in lots of walking which tends to be enough to keep me interested.

    I disagree that it is just a toning tool as I sweat BUCKETS and get out of breath doing this DVD so I know it is giving me a cardio workout. On top of that, I am still losing weight.

    As Jillian says "if you want a ripped mid section in six weeks you gotta work for it!"

    Let me know how you get on.

    I like Banish Fat Boost Metabolism better than 30DS. It's longer and makes me feel like I've actually done more. I can actually feel the burn with that one. haha
