It's definitely a sense of accomplishment after you've finished for the day. Knowing that I've committed to doing this and have been successful thusfar is a motivator to keep me focused on the prize, but also a source of confidence from knowing that I've come as far as I have! As far as what you should do, I guess it just depends on how much of a workout The Shred is for you. You could cycle through a level a day, you could hit 2 levels in a day, you could do a level of the shred and combine it with another of your JM videos.. misstraveller has been doing Level 2 and adding an aerobic activity every day! I've even heard of crazy heads who have done all three levels in one session! Just do whatever is going to give you that
push. Something to work toward and strive for. I used to get so upset because I was clocking hours of cardio a week. The trouble was that I had gotten comfortable at the intensity I desired, so I stayed within that realm and never kicked it up a notch. Getting your heart rate up and pushing your boundaries is what's really going to make the difference! (I think I've been listening to Jillian's coachings a bit too much lately.
) There's also the realm of lifting, which is just as essential in the fat loss / muscle-gaining process.
It doesn't have to be a 30 day stint if you don't feel comfortable committing to that in fear of letting yourself down over some circumstance beyond your control.. but that doesn't mean you can't try your hardest!
Maybe shoot for 25 out of 30 days or something along those lines.
