    I'm on day 7 of level 1 and have really noticed a difference from day 1! You're definitely gonna be sore, but it's a good sore because it let's you know you kicked butt that day!! I log it as circuit training too.

    Are you supposed to rest any of the days or just go 30 days with no rest?

    I had to take breaks in between mine to let my body rest. I usually workout 2-3 days in a row and then take 1 day off.

    I use my body media fit Link...kinda like a body bugg and burn about 150-200 cals each time. Its not much but the muscle building burns differently than the cardio.

    I love the Shred!

    I have a blog on my profile if you want to see how my round 1 went. Im on round 2 now.

    The first round I did it everyday no stopping! Lost inches and minimal pounds. Second time around im doing it 3 times a week incorporated with other workouts and have lost 8 pounds!

    I'm on day 14. You'll love level one, so enjoy it while it lasts! I hate level two.. good luck!

    I hated level 2 as well! I am on Level 3 and that one is so much better! Still hard but better!

    I believe you should rest, especially when your muscles are really sore from the weights. And I have seen people post here that Jillian has since been quoted as saying it wasn't meant to be done for 30 days straight, and she was surprised that people were doing that. But I haven't read or heard that directly from her, so it's second hand info. :) But at least one day of rest is good.

    I started it and with my HRM I burn about 185-205 calories per session. Get a HRM that is the best way to calculate. Best of luck!
    That's about what I get with mine too.

    I don't do it every day, but I try to do it every other day! It's a great way to get up in the morning if I wake up early enough!

    I've just ordered a copy of the DVD - I'm going to try and do it at least once or twice a week (Is there a, not a limit as such, but as long as you do it over 30 days?) - as I'll be doing spin classes twice a week as well, and possibly (if I can fit it in) using my Kinect with Fitness Evolved maybe once a week, I'll carry on logging my food as normal though.

    Also, can any recomend a weight limit, as I see you can use weights with this programme, I do have a set, but they're only 2.5kg each, do you think that'd be ok to start with?

    I know I've been trying to lose weight for some time, but I havent taken any "before" pictures, so maybe, when I get this DVD I may actually take some, and see if I can notice any difference!

    I'm on day 5 of level 1. I hate Jillian while I'm doing it LOL & especially after watching it so many times, I'm tired of hearing her say the same crap over & over so I've taken to yelling at her to shut the F* up when my legs or arms are burning & I'm trying to push through LOL. It does suck while you're doing it, but when you feel the burn you know it's working & you feel good about that. Plus, it's only 20 minutes so it does tend to go by pretty quickly. I know this has already been answered, but I log it as 20 mins circuit training.

    Level one is really hard on the knees. So just be careful. I averaged about 220-250 every 27 minutes workout (including streching).

    I wanted to take the day off the 3rd day because my legs were so sore, but someone told me I should push through it, so I did & I actually started to feel better after that. I think if it's just soreness, work through it, but if it's pain, stop!!
