    I'll be doing Day 9 of level 1 tonight. I'll probably also add an extra day to this level for good measure.

    Advice -
    Take your measurements ASAP and keep measuring every week or so. I started to see a small difference after the first week and really regretted not taking measurements before I started.

    Take rest days. I think it's best to not do more than 2 or 3 days straight. I have noticed that my muscles take better to the workout after a rest day too.

    Some people like to supplement extra cardio with 30DS. I personally take a daily walk on a hiking path near work. It burns extra calories without pushing me too hard.

    Good luck everyone & feel free to add me!

    I'd love to join! Ordered this morning and will be arriving tomorrow. Will start tomorrow evening.
    My husband has been away with the military for eight months (during that time I gave birth to our second child) and will be home shortly after I complete 30DS, so I am ALL for it! Feel free to add me!

    Started day 1 last night and loved it - don't think I have ever sweated so much, but it is going to be sooo worth it! Really really enjoyed this and can't wait for day 2 tonight!

    Did Level 1, Day 2 today and I'm feeling it, that's for sure. I'm eager to see what the next 28 days will bring!

    As far as weights go, I don't have hand weights, so I'm improvising with 16 oz. cans of soup.

    Does anyone know roughly the amount of calories the shred burns?

    Level 1, Day 3: Done!

    I'm still sweating buckets, but it's so much easier. I was able to make it through all but the last set of jumping jacks (whereas day 1 I was able to do 3 or 4 jumping jacks per set). I can't do the jump rope or the butt kicks because it really hurts my knees so I jogged in place. I hope that doesn't really mess with my results too much.


    As far as the calories burned, it's going to vary based on your height/weight and how hard you push yourself. I think others have said to log it as circuit training, but I think it estimates it really high. I've been burning between 249-261 calories according to my HRM, but MFP has me burning 553 calories.

    I started Day 1 last night - my calves are killing me this morning! I'm completely out of shape, and had to do the modified version of push ups and butt kicks, but I'm excited to do it again!

    I will be starting this again Monday, October 14th. I was sick last week, so I am going to start over with workout 1. I am going to go 30 days in a row again.

    I enjoyed level 3 over level 2. I don't know why, but maybe level 2 is harder than level 3? Any comments on this?

    Started this late, only yesterday. It isn't actually too bad... Only problem is my calves are pretty sore, really impacting things like, you know, walking!
