I definitely rest two days through the week. Your muscles need a day in between to recooperate! :)

I live in NC but I am from OHIO. I am going back home for Thanksgiving to visit with my sister and family. I am hoping to be down 15 lbs by then. I am hoping to drop more inches than anything. =] SW: 196.8 GW: 181 (goal weight for the shred) weigh ins: 10/17: 191.6 10/24: 10/31: 11/7: 11/14: 11/21:

Well, since I'm an experienced Jillian Michael follower (I did her online program back in 2006); I am only on day 4 and day one was 10/11. I only do 4 days of the actual 30 Day Shred DVD a week. I do cardio on the other days (sometimes I do extra cardio on my Shred days as well). It is very important to rest your muscles…

:smile: It does get better. I am doing it too. You are so on the right track with a Jillian Michaels' workout plan. By doing strength training you will burn more fat and continue to burn fat longer in the day. You really should give your muscles a rest after a couple days of the 30 day Shred. What you will find out though…
