#1. For those of you seeing success, do you combine the shred with other workouts or just do the shred? If so, what else would you recommend.

#2. Realistically, I don't think I can move up past level 2 at the moment. If I did I would have to modify so much it wouldn't be the same workout. Is it OK to stay on level 1/2 for the entire 30 days and try to improve on your next go through?

Thanks!

    I am in the middle of the shred for the first time. I just finished level 1 and tonight I am going to level 2. I still do modified pushups but going to move on and do the best I can. I would say try it and see what you can do. You might surprise yourself.

    I am only doing the shred right now just to see how much it does for me.

    Next time around I will probably add some other cardio or something.

    I do cardio at the gym in the morning (between 30-40 minutes), then the Shred in the evenings. I just started level 2 on Monday. I took my measurements before I started, and plan to wait until I've made it through 30 days to take them again.

    It's always taken me a very long time to notice changes in my body, so after two weeks I'm not seeing anything. But I will say I feel better, I can feel my muscles becoming defined even though I haven't lost enough fat to see the definition, and I'm definitely sleeping better. So that's something!

    Here's a question: How do you log something like this on MFP?

    Apparently Circuit Training is what people use..

    Hi
    I've done the 30 day shred and I lost 6lb during it.

    1 - I did at least an hour of walking everyday, mainly speed walking to sweat a bit more.

    2 - Try sticking with Anita (the easiest) and use 0.5kg weights. If level 3 is too much, take away the weights - most of it is planks so you're arms will kill anyway :)
