    I'm sure it's been asked before but I overlooked it. Can you try this at any time and really bet to get good results, or realistically should you start when you're a little used to working out? Specifically could I start it now or should I build up to it. I'm 5"8, 203, BF% around 28-29. I've been working out and eating right for about 3 weeks. I do about 5 miles on the gym's bike, some elliptical, and some strength training. I stay in the gym about an hour 4 days a week and focus on just in home stuff the other days like planks and such. I love the results I am seeing from all you ladies but not sure if I'm ready for it yet because most of the before pics still look better than me :P What do yall think?

    Hi - I just log it as Circuit Training (I don't include the stretching in the number of minutes). I do several Shred-type HIIT routines and long them all under Circuit Training, but those with heart monitors and whatnot are likely getting a better idea. I'm certainly a bit lazy and imprecise (which is horrible, since I am a professor-scientist), but it seems to work for me. I hope this helps, even though it is not a great answer.

    I had only been going to gym for a few weeks before I started the shred. I am now on level 3 day 3. I have had my sore days but loved every second.

    Finished day 9 of level one. I love it, especially how it goes so fast, you're never on one thing for too long. I've been losing weight too this week! I will be continuing for sure!

    I started by jumping in with both feet. I don't have a gym membership but started doing cardio after Christmas when I got an elliptical. Bottom line-you can start any time.

    Does anyone monitor how many calories they burn during these exercises? I know it would be different for everyone because of height, weight, & how much your moving but I'm just curious for a general idea on how much people are burning in this 20 minutes.

    day 5 level 2 finished today. I must say I like level 2 much better than level 1. Maybe because I realized I could put my music on and just watch Jillian rather than exercise without music. Who knew? (everyone except me!

    Completed Level 2, day 1. Phew. My back is yelling at me for those squat-rows. But thankfully, my wrists are not yelling. Yet.

    As for calculating calories: 30 day shred calorie burn - 3.267 calories burnt per pound every hour. Multiply by weight to get how many calories per hour you would burn and divide by 3 to get each 20 minute work out. ~ taken from Jillian Michaels website

    It came up to about 170 calories for me. That's good for 20 minutes. Thank You!!

    Just completed Day Two - Level One! I am really enjoying this!

    I have read on several threads about the 30DS that people who wore a heart rate monitor, and then logged it as "Circuit Training" seem to find the numbers pretty close. I don't have a HRM right now (battery is dead!) so I have just been using 20 mins of Circuit Training to log, based on those reviews.

    I have timed it with a stopwatch and the exercises actually go for 26 minutes if you include warm up and cool down, but I only log 20 minutes because the number MFP gives seems pretty generous.

    If I use the formula of 3.267 cals burned per hour (Jillian Michaels website), I would be burning 260 in a 20 minute work out. MFP gives me 290 for 20 mins of circuit training so... I just won't log the extra 6 minutes of warm up/cool down, I figure the 30 cal difference about covers it :)

    Wow those are phenomenal results! Congratulations!
    Could you clarify how many days of cardio kettle bell training you did along with the shred DVD?

    Just convert kg to pounds. If my math is correct, you are burning 166 calories per workout.

    I do my shred about 20 mins after my morning cuppa. No food before I do it and usually afterwards I ain't hungry.
