Hi!! I too would love some freinds to do the 30 Day Shred with. I bought it on Monday of this week and did it that night. I both loved and hated it!! It is hard work!! Unfortunatly due to a busy schedule I have only been able to do it the one time. Anyone can feel free to add me and we can help eachother through it!!!

I just strated myself.. Do you want to be Friends and see how we do.. I as confused at first at how do you know when to move to the next level, has your trainer told you yet?

You move to the next level after 10 days. Its 10 days at lvl 1, 10 days at level 2, 10 days at level 3. It also can depend on you! I skipped a day, so I stayed 11 days at level 1. Im not on level 2. Ill probbaly stay there a few days extra cause its hard!

I bought it too and plan on starting it. If anyone wants to add me as a friend, go ahead. We can swap stories!

I'm about to do day 7 of level one. I can't really say that it's gotten "easier" but I am a lot less sore than I was at the beginning. I did days 123 and then took a break. I know a lot of people do it straight through but I say listen to your body. I was in soooo much pain after day 3 and I'm really glad I took a break cause I began again with renewed vigor afterwards.

Someone asked if you just do 30ds or if you do other exercises as well. That's totally up to you but for me the 30ds is just a small part of my workout routine.

**one funny thing...when they're doing the static lunges with the biceps curl...when they focus in on Anita (green sports bra) in the background the girl with the red shorts stops her lunges..so even SHE needed a break (I mean..she is doing the more advanced version....but hey! don't feel bad if you need a break!)

I noticed that too. And I just started Level 2 today. In one part Natalie (advanced) is doing the move like Anita (beginners) and Jillian says to her "what are you doing up here, get down there" or something like that.

Just finished L1D2, and it was a little easier than yesterday despite how sore I was! I only had to take 1-2 5 second breaks. Around the 8 minute mark is the hardest for me...I always feel like I'm gonna die there! LOL After its over the rest of it is a lot easier. I think my only problem is jumping jacks!

What's the 30 day shred? I'm up for some new changes!

I've been reading all about this 30 day shred for the past week and decided i'm going to start on Monday as i am doing pilates now an d want to wait till the end of the month to start something new.
i also wanted to ask if you are doing just 30 day shred or do you combine it with some other exercises? i decided i'll try to fit pilates in, but have to first see how tired (or not tired) i will be.

I try to do additional exercise 2-3 times a week. Guidelines say you're supposed to do 30 minutes of exercise daily. But Jillian says her workout is doing the work of hours in the gym. So, I guess try whatever works for you!

mdulanto9177

I love 30 day shred! I'm on day 21, did level 3 for the first time tonight and wow it was tough. Oh how i wished i was back on level 2 but now i'm on level 3 im not going back! This dvd works wonders, the difference in my body after 21 days is unbelievable it's totally worth it.

Jessica0982

I just finished Day 2 of Level 2. Seriously, that kicks my *kitten*! I'm trying SO hard to keep up and I'm not succeeding. But that's okay, as long as I keep my body moving, I'll get better (I hope).

I really struggle with the pendulum lunges and the squats. My arches in my feet are just cramping up bigtime. To the point I need to stop for a min and let it pass. But it just starts back up again as I keep going.

I was told to use a golf ball to stretch it out. But I never remember to do that until it starts cramping. Which by then its too late really.

It kind of sucks. I don't want to buy new sneakers but I may have to!

Quick question, I am very interested in starting this, but I am currently in week 4 of C25K. I am running every other day, (I started running last year, got to running 3.5-4.5miles 3-4 days a week, then was only very sporadic for the last 9 month ago, so I'm not really starting quite from scratch). The c25k isn't so hard (right now) cardiovascularly, but I do feel it in my legs (probably because I am running it faster than last time, and I'm adding in some inclines too). Anyway, I hear everyone say how sore they are after the 30 day shred, especially in the early days, and I don't want to do it if I'll be so sore that I can't keep running every other day... Does the shred work your legs much, or mostly core and arms? Any thoughts? Thanks!

I think its different for everyone but I definitely feel it in my legs the most. I only just finished day 3 of level 1.

Yea, I feel it in my legs & abs the most!

My calf muscles hurt most, but only after day 2 and I took a rest day. After that, I didn't have any soreness that would keep me from doing something else. That was going from couch sedentary to this workout. You may not be as sore if you are already working out.

I know, right? I've read so many rewievs and saw the before and after pictures that it just makes me wanna do the 30 day shred right this moment. I am waiting for Monday to start.

Good luck and do tell us about your progress. There's never too much motivation

sjostrich

I finished day 2 last night and I'm still loving it! My posture feels much better even after only 2 days

I haven't taken before pictures or measurements. After reading some of the above comments I feel like I really should

deksgrl

I recommend taking measurements. That way you will have encouragement when you don't think there is much difference. The tape will tell. Measure your upper arm and thigh as well as the standard measurements.

I started on Jan 23, so today will be day 5 level 1 for me. You can add me if you'd like. We wouldn't be that far apart on days!

heather_renee

I've have looking into this too!!! I am going out this weekend to get it and I will be starting on Monday.. can't wait.. I'm so pumped.. Best of Luck to you ALL !!!!

StephJ0nes

Can anyone tell me what equipment it requires and how much space ... If I have the space to do it count me in! I have heard good things from other people too!

The dvd says it requires some weights and a mat. I don't have any weights but I did some experimenting and found that a 16.9 oz bottle of water weights about 1.1 pounds! If you are new to working out these work out perfect because at the end of the workout those little water bottles feel like 10!!!

I just use a towel as a mat.

And the space required I have found is that you require to do jumping jacks.

I did the shred in November and finished on 12/27. Loved it. I'll try to paste the link below to my posted results.

Feel free to add me if you would like. We're all in this with the same goal....fit and healthy future.
