30 Day Shred Dilemma!!!!!

I am in the same boat. I just started level 3 today, and leave on a wednesday for a week of camping. I might write it down and take the program with me.

I hear lots of people talking about the 30 day shred but have no clue what it's about. Anyone care to elaborate?

30 Day Shred is Jillian Michael's DVD of complete pain! LOL
It has 3 levels that are 10 days each, and she tells you to do it EVERYDAY without missing a day to get the best results. Google it, it's a great workout and I lost major inches the first time I did it.

I wouldn't double up, because may increase your chances of quitting altogether. I would take the week off and come back...add 3 add'l days of level 2 to get back in-line and finish out w/ the remainder that you had left. Once you get in to days 20-30, I found it harder to do every day because of being so tired of doing it, but YOU CAN DO IT!

I agree with this. Also, what do you plan to do when you finish the shred? No reason why you can't start over all together! You have a lifetime of exercise ahead of you! Lots of people do the shred multiple times in a row. i still do it but I mix it in with the other JM videos.

U could do that . I did levels back to back, very good workout!

me too!! haha after the 30 days...i think you should do the workout on the trip or vaca its not that long if you want to complete the 30 days or start again when you get back

How many days are you cutting it short by exactly? Then I would go ahead and start L2 tomorrow and cut the short...then start L3...If you think you can manage to do doubles until your vacay...then that's an option. OR you can just do what it suggests, cut L3...then start it up back up when you get back...refresh at L2... SO many options!!

My hubby and I just finished level 1 last night and plan to start level 2 tonight. We're not doing it every single day, so it's taken us about 2 weeks to finish level 1. I've started wondering the same thing...do we start over with 30DS or move on to something more challenging. I've definitely toned up, but I know I will lose that if I don't maintain a workout after we're done.

On another note...is that a puggle?! I have a puggle myself, who is my baby girl! They're so cute.

Personally I've never actually done the 30 day shred in 30 days. I just get too bored. I prefer the 30 day slimdown which incorporates her other videos. But yes, the whole thing is that you will need to continue working out even when you have finished or you will lose the muscles you worked so hard to build up! I'm still loving JM but I know I need to start building my DVD collection a bit more to keep myself interested. I love at home workouts :-) I'd use the free ones that are on Verizon Fios On Demand more often but I hate when I pick a random workout and then don't feel like I got a "good" workout. I end up feeling like I wasted my time and I should have just done JM.

And yes that's my puggle baby. I am obsessed with her. They are the cutest cuddliest little dogs. Looovvee her :-)

Bought the video.... But how do i log it in my workouts???? Its not there when i search for it! HELP

they say it burns about 500 calories or something an hour if your at 145 was the stats....idk I somehow figured it all out one day and for my weight (138) I burn 182 calories doing the dvd..
