Jillian says NOT to do 30 Day Shred Everyday
Replies

I even did it twice in one day as I'd missed it the day before!!! Ha Ha! I was happy to try to do it for 30 days in a row (did 34 days with 4 days off). However I did Burn Fat Boost Metabolism today for the first time and it was AMAZING! Felt like such a good work out! I'll probably do this a 3-4 times a week and alternate with other dvd workouts!0

I honestly think she did intend for it to be everyday (hence, 30 Day) and probably received backlash because of a lot of people hurting themselves.0

I agree that the initial intention was daily. And as far as 400 pound people doing regular jumping jacks everyday, I don't buy it. I'm not that heavy, but my knees were a mess.0
-
I only do it 5 times a week then take the weekend off!0
-
Wow great info! Thanks!!!0
-
That's good info. Three times a week it is. Thanks!0
-
Unless I'm mistaken, I'm pretty sure she says at the end of level 2 "see you tomorrow"...
I've been doing it 3-4 times a week and I spend longer than 10 days at each level mostly because I also belong to a gym and do other stuff, but even if I didn't, I don't think I could take her voice daily...0 -
I am on day 4 of level 3 today. I was curious about this post because I had assumed it was supposed to be done every day, which I have done. So, I looked at her website and couldn't find anything related to this topic. I decided to send an email through the Jillian Michaels website and see what they said. Here is the email I received:
Hello,
Thank you for contacting customer support. The 30 day shred is intended to be used consecutively for 30 days doing each level for 10 days.
I hope this helps!

It's been about a year since I did this, but I was pretty sure on the main menu, or somewhere on the actual dvd (not on the case) there was something that said 4-5 times per week. I did hear her say that on her podcast, though. I'm so glad she got her radio show back, I've learned a lot from listening to her!
Ok, had to edit because I just read the above post. That would be crazy! You have to give your muscles time to heal. :huh: Maybe someone should forward that to Jillian.0 -
I just went out and bought the 30DS dvd today. I figured it would be like any other exercise - do it as frequently as you are comfortable, take a break for recovery when needed. I'm not going to freak out on myself if I miss a day here and there. With 2 kids to keep up with, it's not likely that I could do 30 days back-to-back even if it were easy. And it's probably going to kick my butt. LOL0

THANK YOU GOD!
LOL0 -
I wish I would have known this before I finsihed the 30DS in 30 days. Will certainly share this info, thanks!0
-
It's clearly misleading! Why call it 30 day shred?!? I have this video and although I like it, it annoys me that she gives you no guidelines on what size weights to use!0
-
I did the shred everyday. I took days off only when necessary (extremly busy day). I knew if I took a day off I'd get lazy and not want to start back up. I'm still like that now with any dvd that I do now; everyones diffrent though0
-
Are you serious? Oi, I'm on level 3 day 7... and I haven't skipped one day... (10 days of level 1 and 10 days of level 2). And I thought I was doing it right... oi vay... oh well, I'll finnish it up how I've been doing it and "do it right" next time...0
-
rhank you so much for posting. i just bought it and was like i dk if i can do it everyday lol.0
-
Cool, when I did it I took a rest day when I felt fatigued. For example if I went from being able to do 8 pushups to barely being able to do 2, I took the next day off. It wasn't that I was all that sore, just obviously tired and needing some time to rebuild. I ended up doing it 2-3 days in a row and then taking a rest, and I also did c25k at the same time when I could fit it in.
I'm about to start ripped in 30 and plan on doing it 2 days on, 1 day off.0 -
on her ripped in 30 dvd she says at the beginning to workout 4-6 days per week (may have been 4-5) with at least one day of rest.0

Well, hot damn. I have my shred set up on a calendar. 11 days for each level, I made it 11, so i could allow one break day if/when needed. So i cross out days when i do it, and when i absolutely need a break, I just put a big B on that date. Haha. i'm so lame.0 -
For the people not doing it daily: I wouldn't fret
It's exercise, just like any other exercise. You do what your body is comfortable with, with just enough discomfort to see some changes. It's not science or magic, missing a day won't undo all the good you've done. We're all going to see varying results, but if we stick with it we're all going to see results. Don't worry, just do what feels right to you 0 -
Pretty lame that they didn't convey that info for people just starting out with the program. So many people on this web-site alone have complained about knee pain.
Yeah, I have attempted the Shred 3 other times and never complete it due to knee and back pain. I am on day 14 now of my 4th attempt and am just finding this out lol. Atleast I know now.0 -
Interesting that reps of her site are sharing different guidelines than she is... sheesh.
I am doing the last day today and only skipped once and made it up the next day with 2 - I had also assumed that it was intended to be every day for 30 days.0 -
I had started the DVD once before but only did the one day and not the next. Since I figured it was supposed to be every day, I decided to quit at it. Well I started up again on November 14th, and was just coming on the topics to look for results and came across this. Glad I didn't get too far into the DVD and then realize this! Thank you for the information!!0
-
Eh, I'm gonna keep doing it six days a week. I'm on Level 2 and I've been doing the knee circles from Level 1 before her Level 2 warm-up and in general, when my knees feel wonky the next day, I do some knee circles and it really helps. Not that this would work for everyone! I certainly don't want to be responsible for anyone screwing up their knees (for all I know I'm screwing up mine, they sure make a lot of noise).0

Have you noticed any weightloss or inches since you started 30 day shred?0
-
It's clearly misleading! Why call it 30 day shred?!? I have this video and although I like it, it annoys me that she gives you no guidelines on what size weights to use!
She uses 3 lb weights. She says that somewhere in the video. 3 lbs wasn't fatiguing my muscles, so I switched to 5, then 8 by the 3rd level.0 -
hmmm mixed info here.. i think i will prob to it 5 days a week and have weekends off (do other stuff instead) mostly cuz i dont want to do jumping jacks in front of my fiancé hahaha...0
-
Very glad to hear this as I'm on Day 8 - Level 2 and I'm sore from yesterday. Whats with those plank jumps!!!!??!
It will be nice to do something different today!0 -
Yes I lost a centremetre off my neck since starting - as if that's where I want it to go from!!!!!!
I suppose everyone missed the post from aimeeturner on page 2 of this post?????
She emailed the Julian Michaels office and they said it is supposed to be 30 days consecutively!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0 -
I honestly think she did intend for it to be everyday (hence, 30 Day) and probably received backlash because of a lot of people hurting themselves.
If I was to try to do it 30 days consecutively I would probably injure myself. I did day 1 two days ago and I am still in a lot of pain, my knees are weak, somewhat unstable if I'm not careful and my thighs are so sore I hobble up the stairs and have to come down sideways for it to be bearable. It's sad how out of shape I am for a 29 year old. LOL. But seriously, I think it's all about your personal fitness level and how you feel on a daily basis. I think the workout is designed to give great results after 30-ish workouts, not necessarily 30 days if that's not something you can sustain at your fitness level. I applaud and envy those that can do it daily. Can't wait to be in better shape to be able to do it that way myself.0
