    I started it yesterday. I've started it before and got half way before stopping. I was losing lots of inches. Yesterday I did Day 1, Level 1 and stayed at the high end of my heart rate and sometimes out of my heart rate zone. (according to my HRM). This workout is no joke.

    I actually started this on the 8th. I needed to get some sort of strength training in to go with the running I like to do. This at least is getting me started in that area.

    I highly recommend 30 Day Shred. Ripped in 30 is also good, but a little bit harder; just something to keep in mind for the inevitable boredom of the routine that'll hit you around day 15 lol If you keep up with it, though, and keep an eye on your food portions, I think you'll be pleased with the results. I started 30DS right out of college and lost about 50lbs; I've been floundering a bit since then, but I can't deny the positive effects that program had on my weight loss journey. Good luck to you!

    EDIT: I should add that it took more than one cycle of 30DS to lose that much. The first cycle through, I didn't lose much in terms of lbs, but I dropped 3 pants sizes :)

    How are you all logging this? I am doing crossfit and I log it as moderate impact aerobics. Didnt know if I should log 30ds the same or not.

    I'm on day 8 of level 1 & really enjoying it. Combining it with calorie controlled diet as really need to get my weight down. I can feel results already :)

    Day 4 was my hardest day & i really wanted to give up, my muscles were so sore & everything burned but day 5 was much much better.

    Strangely looking forward to level 2

    I already do Zumba for 1 hour on Mon, Tues, Thurs and then jog/walk 2 miles on Wed and Sunday. However, I had bought 30 ds for after the holidays to incorporate into my workout. My 15 almost 16 year old daughter decided she wants us to do it NOW! So after my Zumba/planking class I've been doing 30 day shred with her, today is day three. I'm dying, but I'm pressing through and at a better rate than my daughter. Sad I know, she quit all sports 2 years ago when her boobs developed to a size E! She's decided she's tired of sitting by and watching others play. So she's going back into basketball and wants to get back into shape. I'm very proud of her for stepping up and doing it. We both took panty/bra before pics and will do more I guess about every 10 days. Not sure if we will post or not....we are both very self conscious and no one wants to see that mess anyway.(actually I know she will not, not going to allow it, but I prob won't either)

    L1d2 completed yesterday!!! I was also thinking of doing before pics but seeing as I have no full length mirror it'll be kind of hard. So I might just do a full size picture in clothes at work and wear the same outfit 30ish days later to see a difference

    I would defo recommend taking pics and measurements.

    For the pic, I used the timer on my camera!!!

    The last time I did the shred, I lost around 10inches overall, but not much lbs!

    Also, in the beginning, you can often put on lbs, but it will only be temporary.

    Good luck to you all! :flowerforyou:

    I have had the DVD for some time now. Tried it once (Level 1). Will have to wait until I can afford a good sports bra before trying it again! Too much danger of getting black eyes!! :wink: :laugh:

    We are on day four, level one. I decided I wanted more time today. So my daughter and I decided to do level two, then we would do level one right after. Nope! We got ten mins into level two, then went to the nature trace by our house and ran instead lol. We will resume level one tomorrow!

    I have back problems as well. I found that sometimes it ended up aggrevated. I found that doing some of the stretches while standing instead of sitting helped me keep my back in the proper position and it ended up hurting less. I also incorporated more stretches at the end of the workout and it helped.
    Hi there,

    I started on Saturday so it's day 3 today. I slipped a disc in February this year and wasn't able to work out (or even walk really!) for ages. Now my back is doing OK (as long as I'm careful) but I've lost all motivation to exercise, can't remember where I used to find the time!

    I thought 20mins a day for 30 days might be achievable and should hopefully get me back in shape for Christmas party dresses. I'm super motivated at the moment but reckon that night change a week or so in.

    First two days were tough and I do hurt all over but in a good way. Can't do the press ups at all!

    The test will be from tomorrow onwards when I won't have time to do it in the evenings so will have to set the alarm and do it first thing. Again I used to get up early to run all the time but that was in 2012!

    Good luck......let's try and keep each other motivated!

    I just ordered the DVD today after watching level one on YouTube last night. It will be interesting to see how my abs behave considering I have a lot of surgical scars and an ileostomy, but you don't know if you don't try right?

    Really looking forward to giving this a go :D

    I've gotten good results so far I feel. I am on day 15; Level 2 day 4 ( I've decided to do an extra day of each level, so I'll have a total of 33 days) This is the first exercise program (or exercise in general) that I've done in years, and it feels great! I haven't lost any weight (in a bit of a plateau I guess), I feel much different though. I feel stronger, leaner, and even prettier even though I haven't changed that much. Also, I'll note that I have not done much exercise other than the shred. Can't wait to see the end result, if nothing else, it gives beginners a place to start! I feel very motivated and look forward to what I will do after the shred!

    I'm falling back on days. However, my left knee starts popping once in a while. I'm thinking it has to do with certain exercises. What substitute exercises can I use for the squatting with weights in the air?

    Hello!! I've just restarted day one level one today after getting to day 9 and giving up ????. Am determined to get through it this time- I'm really feeling it and am so disappointed with myself for quitting when I was doing so well. Need to lose a couple of stone but mostly just want to feel like I'm doing something!

    day 1 -30 day shred was done today. It was gruesome! i tell you, this lady is some motivational trainer. If we stick with her words and zone out the pain, then we can get through this 25 min. I am happy I have kicked this off to a start. I definately feel all energetic and good after doing this routine today.

    Hey there! I'm currently on level 1 day 7 of 30DS. I've been doing it after work, usually I have a snack beforehand for some extra energy. I don't own any weights so I've made mine by taping 2 bean cans together:tongue: so far I find it fun and challenging, the first few days I couldn't even crouch my thighs hurt so much! I'm definitely seeing a change in my endurance though. I haven't done a weigh in or any measurements yet, so I'm not sure if I've lost weight. I'm hoping I can stick to it and that level 2 wont kick my butt! Good luck everybody!
