One thing I don't understand about 30DS

I've recently bought 30DS and having had a quick scan through it it seems like a sound workout routine. I also like the weights/cardio/abs split of the workout design.

One thing I don't understand though is why you are supposed to do it every day? When do your muscles get a chance to grow and recover?

Has the reasoning behind this ever been explained?

    I've read that because you don't work your muscles to exhaustion, you can do it everyday. Plus, it makes a much better gimmick than 60 day shred?

    I agree, I did the 30DS for 10 days straight and happened to Have to take a day off because I was going out of town, then when I got back I did the workout and I was actually stronger than ever because I had rested that one day! I was able to keep up and even do the exercises with more intensity. I think a day off now and again SHOULD be part of the plan... but that's just my opinion!! :)

    I usually fast forwarded through her yammering on but I believe she says to work out 6 days a week in the intro of the video.

    When you're using your own body weight, you don't need to necessarily rest a day in between like when using machines and heavier dumbbells. If you were circuit training through a gym and using like ~200lbs+ for legs, 20-40 for arms, etc...then you would need to rest.

    At least that's what my strength training instructor told us when I took that class last semester, lol.

    I agree though, it won't do you any harm to take a day of rest a week (maybe even 2 for some people).
