Okay, so I'm trying the 30 Day Shred again(first time I got 10 days in and then got really sick and gave up). What I want to know is for those of you who saw really good results, did you do extra cardio with it as well? Or just the DVD? I'm planning on doing it every day for 30 days....I'm kinda on a time crunch! haha.

    I did it for 7 days straight then didnt do it for a week but I did lose 1inch from my waist that first 7 days. I've restarted it yesterday planning on going 30 days without breaks.
    Good luck.

    I only started on the first and I've missed it twice, but I already lost 3 pounds! Some people do strictly 30DS and some add in other cardio. It's really up to your personal preference and stamina.

    I don't remember what my numbers were, but I know when I did it I lost inches and a couple of pounds! If you think you are going to burn out easily I would suggest that you take at least 1 day a week off! Good Luck!

    I did it everyday for 3 months ( along with the treadmill & elliptical) Everyday even when I started and it hurt to sit or stand. I have to say I was pretty strong. I could do the push up with out a problem. Then I started Jillian's No more trouble zones....It's longer. Then I started doing the Shred 2 times a day. I have to say I had lost about 45 pounds in the first 2 months.

    Good luck

    I personally did it 6 days a week (took every Sunday off), plus I did about an hour of cardio 5-6 days a week as well. The video alone just wasn't enough for me.

    I'm currently doing the 30DS & I'm also doing 30-45 minutes of cardio to go along with it.

    I've been mixing 30DS Lvl 1 (so far) 2-3 times a week along with softball, baseball and jogging. I think it is a mistake to do any one activity to intensely when starting to get in shape and the risk of injury increases with the same repetitive motions many days in a row. I've lost 20 lbs in 5-6 wks and feeling good. Good luck all!

    I started by doing 30DS in February every day except Sundays, but as I got about halfway done I added in other cardio every day. My weight loss stalled so I cut back to additional cardio 3x's a week instead and the scale moved again. (I'm pretty sure I wasn't eating enough calories for how much I was working out.) I ended up losing about 9 lbs in those 30ish days. Now I alternate 30DS every other day, still doing each level 10 times before progressing, and do other cardio the other 3 workout days in my week. I lose an average of a pound a week.

    Whatever you do, just stick with it!! 30 Day Shred is awesome when you're consistent!

    I'm doing 30DS right now. I just finished Day 23 today. I'm not doing any other exercising other than that, and I've already lost 7 pounds. No idea on the inches yet since I'll measure when I'm completely done, but I do see a change in my body - especially my belly! :) I do it every day without any rest days. Have fun!

    I'm ordering the DVD tonight. I found it on YouTube the other night and tried it out. My legs were sore for two days! I have a bad knee so I wore a knee brace and just had to be careful when doing the jumping jacks and the jumping rope simulation. I was sweating gallons!

    I started 30DS on Saturday. Sunday I did a different workout DVD. My arms, legs, back, and stomach were ALL sore for THREE DAYS! The squatting killed me! My body was incomplete shock. I could barely get out of bed the next day. Tomorrow I'm going back for "day 2" lol I'm determined! My body has to adapt!
