    I did day 1 of the shred on Monday. Yesterday I was so sore, I could hardly walk...haha. Today I will do it again and hopefully wont be as sore, so i can continue to do it every day.

    How are you all recording/logging the 30 day shred into myfitnesspal? I was thinking circuit training? I just finished day 4 today... I'm less sore and was able to do all the cardio without resting!

    I have Ripped in 30 and 30 Day Shred. This is my first time doing either one of them, so I thought I would be COMPLETELY insane, and do a hybrid of them. RIpped in 30 MWF and 30 Day Shred the other three and rest on Sunday. Needless to say: Monday I did Ripped in 30. Yesterday I did 30 Day Shred. This morning I groaned like a 90 y/o woman as I squatted down on the toliet :laugh: I'm so excited to see my results 30 days from now!

    I really enjoyed the Shred when I did it in the summer. I found her easy to follow and I definitely noticed a difference, especially in my arms and backside. I did do it every day without a break, and I was spurred on to finish, especially when I had made it half way.

    I bought Ripped in 30 this week, and started that yesterday. Considering I didn't have too much pain with the Shred, I am shocked that I hurt so much after Day 1 of Ripped. Level 1 seems to be much more focused on the thighs with squats etc. OUCH.
    I have Day 2 tonight, followed by a Zumba class, so tomorrow should be interesting!
    She does say, however, that there should be a 'rest' day with the Ripped... bring on Sunday!

    If you have a heart rate monitor, then it will give you an accurate reading. I have also found a heart rate calculator that I've been using to figure out the calories: http://www.triathlontrainingblog.com/calculators/calories-burned-calculator-based-on-average-heart-rate/
    If not, then calisthenics or circuit training on MFP would suffice, but remember that MFP's calories burned are normally higher than your actual burn, so if you're eating back your excerise calories, don't eat them all back or you may be over eating! :)

    It's a workout video from Jillian Michaels. There's 3 Levels and you do it for 30 days. She uses a 3-2-1 interval system where she has you do 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs, along with a 2 minute warm-up and cool down. Wal Mart has them for about $9 :)

    I completed it in Nov. 2011. I started Ripped in 30 (harder so far!) on the first of Jan. 30-Day Shred was definitely challenging and I was thrilled with the results! Of course, use it as you see fit--I can understand wanting to do the alternating days. If you're curious as to how I handled it, though, I did it every single day. I used 3-lb weights for about 10 days, but moved up to 5- and 8-lb weights at any exercise I thought I could handle. The thing to remember is: by day four or five of each level, that level will start to get MUCH easier to do! It's proof that you're getting stronger. But I wanted to get my own cardio in, so typically I'd do the day's workout, then I'd go for a walk for about 40 min. I did that each day for 30 days and dropped a good 10 pounds or so (I probably would've lost more but I hadn't quite worked out my proper diet yet). Good luck to you! It kicked my *kitten*, and I loved it, so I wish you the same! =D

    Oh, forgot to mention: my girlfriend was the one who introduced it to me. She also completed it and I think she lost about 15 pounds. Good luck!

    I am ashamed to say I gave it up around day 15... I will restart. Thanks for giving me a push!

    ^^^^ I am guilty of the above also (although I think I only made it to day 10! :sad: )
    I totally need to restart though & finish this time! Thanks for giving me an extra push =)
