    Hello, everyone! Finished day 3/level 2. Actually did the plank jacks today. I was huffing and puffing, but got through a good portion of it.

    Janet: Brazil! How exciting! I know it's for work, but I would love to go there someday. I hope you get a chance to look around.

    Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!

    Taking a break today. We hiked for 2 1/2 hours today at one of our State parks. Just a beautiful day to hike. Lots of uphill climbs. My legs are really feeling it.....more than anything Jillian can through at me in the 30 day shred. Feels good though! Have a great 3-day weekend!

    What size of weights do you guys use? I have to buy some before I start the shred, but I'm not sure what is recommended. Any suggestions?

    I think 5 pounds are good for the chest fly and standing row, but 2 or 3 pounds is enough for the other moves -- at least for me. I bought 3 pounds, but they seem a little heavy at times.

    I was wanting to start this. Do I need anything besides the dvd to start? Like resistance bands,weights anything like that?

    You'll need hand weights /dumbbells :)

    I used 1.13kg (mid weights in the Davina McCall Dumbells) for the stuff in level 1 and 2 then worked my way up to 2.27kg weights (heaviest in same set). The heavier weights really take alot out of me so I'd suggest if you're just starting out to use lighter weights. Don't be fooled when you pick them up and think they're too light. 1kg weights will give you a GOOOOD workout!

    Hi Guys,

    I am new here and have just done Day One/Level One and found it a pretty good work out. I know I am not too good at sticking at things so I am hoping that coming on this group will keep me going. Have people actually had good results from this work out?

    Back on and done with day 4/level 2. My calf muscles and knees are still stiff from hiking, but I knew they would feel better once I warmed them up. Really hate those planks...UGH!

    Day 6/Level 2 is done. This was my first time using my new HRM and I was glad to see that I actually burned more calories than I was originally logging.

    I LOVE 30 day shred!!!! It does "kill"ya but the pain is well worth the results!!! I normaly try to run between 3-4 miles every other day (which has not happened since I went back to work-I teach 2nd grade) and then do only the strength and abs. On my off days I would do the whole first level and believe me I hurt!!! Just having a hard time finding the time to get the workouts in now that I'm back to work-and have 2 little ones at home!!! I might have to just suck it up and get up at 5:00....

    I haven't shredded in about a week. I picked up today where I left off L1D6 and it was ok. My legs still burn when doing the punches but I getting better at the other moves. Check back in 2morrow.

    Yes, I did this workout once again last week. I thought I was strong enough to just jump right in and combine it, back to back with C25K. Oops, that didn't go well. I was only able to maintain the C25k last week. This week I will start anew - but alternate days.

    Day 7/Level 2 is done after taking almost a week off. I have been so busy with work (preschool aide) that I really haven't felt like doing anything other than trying to catch up on some sleep. So I did it early this morning, instead of sleeping until I had to wake up my son for school. We'll see how the day goes, but I'm glad I did it.

    Ok, so, I totally fell off the wagon. I'm back at square 1 so I'm starting the shred over. Its good to see a few people I started with are still pushing on and losing weight. Hopefully I don't let myself get distracted again.
