What is the 30 Day Shred? Q & A Thread

Ok... just want to make sure I'm doing this right. I'm on day 3. So we do the level 1 routine for 10 days, right? And it's the SAME exact work out every time for 10 days? I thought each day would be a different workout for 10 days at that level. Ok, so then you move on to Level 2 for 10 days and then Level 3 for the last 10.

That is correct. You do the one workout for 10 days straight. It builds muscles and prepares you for more advanced versions of the moves in the following level. For example, day one on Level 1 I couldn't do one push up at all. By day 10, I could do ten full blown pushups in a row! Level 2 has a lot of planks, so I can see now how the pushups prepared me for the planks.

Happy shredding!:flowerforyou:

Thank You! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Because I always heard you're not supposed to work the same muscles 2 days in a row and now I'm doing the same ones for 10 days! OK, so I'll keep going... on day 4 today! It is a very quick work out even though I'm not burning that many calories, but hopefully I'll build some muscle! I'll let you know how I do by day 30!

I did level 1 for 15 days, monday through friday. I wanted to be sure I was ready for level two, which is much harder. I just completed day 2 of level 2. The first day of level 2 I had to pause multiple times, and I nearly threw up once, I was sticking with Natalie - bad choice. Today, though, I only paused twice, and didn't get close to throwing up! I did some moves like Anita, and some like Natalie, it worked out nice! Also, during level one I lost two inches around my navel

I would like to add that in the DVD I got you can TURN JILLIAN'S VOICE OFF and just listen to the music.

What happens after I complete the 30 days? Can I start over to maintain? Or will I still lose more weight doing it all over again? Should I move on to another JM video/workout plan?

You might want to move on to something like 6 week 6 pack or Ripped in 30 - these are probably the natural progression from 30DS.

This is really helpful! Thanks!

its actually not meant to be done 30 days straight.. ten days at each level yes (unless it gets too easy) BUT jillian herself says to do it 2 days then a cardio day then 2 days then cardio then rest day. She actually says that the rest day is VERY important just an FYI

? Really? All the information I've ever read about the 30DS says do it for 30 days straight through. I've never heard about rest days, except for Ripped in 30.

Where did you find this info? I suppose I should pay more attention to the DVD... like, maybe watch the introduction or something. Haha.

Thanks so much for posting this. I got two days in to it and couldn't walk...then got too busy to start back up. I'm going for it again and not giving up this time.

Huh I have not see this yet. Guess I better leave my cave more often! I would love to try this but really not good to put to much belief in something that is a quick fix. I would see this as more of a jump start to a long term lifestyle change. Man she is in such great shape, and to think she was a fat kid!
