Hi, I am going to be starting the 30 Day Shred on Monday. I have a lot of weight to lose so I will be doing cardio as well. I was just wondering if it mattered if I do cardio before or after the 30 Day Shred. Thanks.

    You mean in the same day? Like you're going to do either cardio then 30DS, or 30DS then cardio?

    you will be too tired to do any more cardio after 30 day shred but its worth it

    you should always do cardio after strength training, you'll be so pumped you're going to want to run 3 miles... I just finished day 8 of level 2, literally as I type this.. so it's great and you'll love it! you'll hate her, but love the differences you'll see. :) good luck!

    I like to do my cardio after 30DS. It gets me nice and warmed up, then I just continue the burn. Plus I can put the highest effort into 30DS and cardio turns into the afterburn/recovery keeping my HR at reasonable levels.

    No, it doesn't matter if you do it before or after the 30 Day Shred... if you mean doing both in the same day.

    If you mean completing the 30 Day Shred then starting up cardio... then I think you should reevaluate it and consider doing both at the same time.

    30DS has some cardio built in. What cardio and how much do you plan on doing? You said you have a lot of weight to lose...you might want to consider alternating a day of cardio with a day of 30DS and a nice walk because 30DS can be a bit rough on your knees.

    I've heard a lot of ppl say that they didn't loose too much weight doing just the 30DS but they lost inches and their clothes fit better or they lost a clothing size. I would say, and I'm also starting 30DS on Monday so I'll send you a freind request, that you'll see better results all around if you did both. Not in the same day though. That's too much for me even. I am going to do 30DS daily and then 4 days of cardio throughout the week.

    Just my 2 cents.

    I do my 30DS in the am before work. Then do my running or elliptical in the afternoon/evening. I'm not at the level yet where i can do both right after each other.

    Start with 30DS first, it is a fabulous workout. Take measurements and eat back those exercise calories!

    I would advise to do strengh on the days you do the shred, if your doing it every day (instead of every 2nd day) then one day do cardio a few hours after and alt days do strengh.

    Good luck hunny it does get easier with every time ;)

    I like doing a 30-40 min jog afterward... after the intensity of the 30DS, the jog/run (5.2mph) feels awesome! I feel like a machine! And I definitely feel like Ive done some serious work when I wake up the next morning :) good luck!!

    I lost 30 lbs after having my daughter, doing the the 30 day shred 5x/wk for 3 months and eating 1200-1300/calories a day..and no extra cardio. I think there is enough cardio built in. If you push yourself and eat right, then you should see results just from this program! Now, after having my son, I did the 30 day shred but was eating too much and didn't get the weight off (that is why I joined MyFitnessPal). Good luck! Another Jillian Michaels video I LOVE it "Blast Fat, Boost Metabolism"....good cardio incorporated into toning

    I can not find the 30 day in the database. How do I know how many cals I burned? Or do I need a HMR for that?

    I've been logging it as 20 mins of circuit training as that's about the closest and was what most people on here recommended.

    you can log 30ds under circuit training, that's what everyone i know who's doing it does unless they have a HRM and that's what i was told to do too. apparently the estimated calories are pretty accurate. hope that helps!

    Got my DVD tonight and did the first workout tonight.
    Am going to do this!
    Sounds brilliant idea.
    First thing in the morning will leave me feeling great if today's first workout is anything to go by.
    Thanks for the idea.

    Will cycle some nights for extra cardio.

    I'm still on Level 1, but have burned roughly 150 calories every time (according to my HRM).
