    Count me in too! If you have Charter or Comcast level one is on demand under sports and exercise tv! I'll most likely buy the dvd for level 2 and 3. So far of all the workouts on demand this is my fav!

    Sounds great! I actually started last week but only did two days. Maybe this will make me more accountable to do it every day!

    Hello Everybody!

    I've been lurking around these boards for a few weeks, but this is my first post. I am starting the 30DS today and would love to join your gang.

    Thanks!

    Also, I think that I could put on music and mute Jillian after I get the pattern of the exercises down. BF did the workout with me, and said that she was a crazy B***H about halfway through. ;-)

    Bahahaha - my husband said the same!!! I also felt wierd not balancing sides - like rotating the hips one way and not the other... No doubt I shall compensate this evening (Day 2).

    I slept through lastnight for the first time in months... She is an Evil woman, but if the end result is a good night's sleep, I shall shred till I'm dead!

    It varies depending on your weight (my husband and I were about 100 calories apart0 but most people add it as Circuit training (general).

    Can I join in with you on this official start date? I woke up committed to doing this again (I did D1 about 2 weeks ago, but then took too many days off). I've completed the Shred before, in Feb/March, and loved the results!! After I completed it the first time, I almost finished it a second time, but didn't get through all of L3. I've taken some time off from exercising now, and want to get back what I've lost (and some of what I've gained). :wink:

    I want to get through the 30 days by the end of September.

    GOOD LUCK!! :drinker:

    Does everyone go 30 days STRAIGHT through, doing it every day? Or do you take rest days, and if so, how often? I don't think I can handle this 30 days straight...being a novice strength exerciser and all.
    The program is designed to be done 30 days in a row. If you are going from no exercise to this, do the modified until the first couple of days. But keep going!! The soreness does ease up. Drinking a protein shake after helps with energy levels and muscle recovery, so does chocolate milk. Its the mix of protein and carbs that helps. In the end, the results are sooo worth it.
    jade999a + myslma01... In some of JM's other DVDs she recommends working out with her 5-6 days/week. I will be attempting to do 5 days of 30DS in a row, one day of Ripped in 30, and one day off/week. During my first round I aimed for 4-5 days in a row, and ended up taking one off, but there are TONS of people that have done 30 in a row, so it is 100% possible if you are committed to achieving that! :bigsmile: I agree that the soreness will get significantly less after the first 5 or so days. And modifying is always an option when your muscles are really sore. I did that on a fair number of the moves because of injuries that I'm working around. Typically, I think we'd all agree to do 10 days at each level, though some people go to L2 quicker if they are not feeling challenged. (I finished the 30DS in 38? days the first time).

    Time for measurements and photos! I'll be starting L1 within an hour!!

    LOL Just saw this in another post and had to share:

    Just found out!!!! With time, women gain weight because we accumulate so much information & wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room, it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren't heavy , we are enormously cultured, educated & happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think, Good Grief look how smart I am, I must be a genius !!

    LOL- :) That's great! I am SO smart now! :)

    Well good morning everyone and super excited!

    I am up and drinking my green smoothie, going to do some major house cleaning (vacuuming and steaming the floors- I will even wear my heart rate monitor), then will get my workout under way! :) I'm totally excited and look forward to this little 23 minutes. 23 minutes. WE CAN DO IT! :)

    I did my D1L1 (1/30) here we go!! My ankle is sore from when I tried to do the C25K in March... STILL!!! But since I can't afford to go anywhere to have it check out, whatever. I'm just careful how I land on it. Enjoy your workouts today!

    Day 1 of level 1 complete! :)

    Steph, I love that quote! When I was in university, I'd always come home at Christmas with a few pounds on and even more by April. I'd always complain to my dad that I was gaining weight and he'd just smile and say, "Education is fattening, Sara. Just means you're really smart!"

    It's finally Monday! I'm so excited to start the Shred again. =)
    Did we ever decide if/when we're weighing in?...I think I saw something about Monday weigh in and giving an NSV. Love that idea!

    Anyway, happy Shredding everyone!!

    Day 1 - done! Does anybody else get really annoyed during the 'static lunges with a bicep curl' bit when the advanced instructor cheats and stops doing the lunges for a bit? I wanted to shout at the screen but I was a tad out of breath!

    I'd like to say I'm looking forward to day 2 tomorrow, but it is such hard work - great smug feeling afterwards though! Good luck for tomorrow everyone.
