    Well, I started before everyone on this thread. I just joined so I could talk to ppl that are doing the shred.
    I started 11 days ago on level 1 and yesterday was my first day at level 2.
    There are 3 levels to the video and you do each level for 10 days :smile: ...hence "30 day shred". Each level gets a little more intense, but they're fun and you def start seeing a difference.

    Ohhhh - thanks! Got it! I find she doesn't make it very clear on the DVD, as she makes reference to stacking two or more work outs in succession. Others on this site recommend taking a day of rest in between, but Jillian again, makes reference to doing it everyday. I guess listening to your body is key!

    Good work and keep at it! Can't wait to try level 2 (or can I.....)

    I think ppl start doing that when they're done with 10 days at each level. By that time you're used to level 3, but you don't want to keep doing level 3 bc you need to change your routine otherwise it could lead to a plateau. So, I think she recommends doing 1 and 2...2 and 3...or any way just to switch things up a bit.

    I listened to Jillian. She knows what she's doing. She's helped how many ppl lose weight and she's in great shape herself. I didn't need to take a day off in between, but that's just me. I pushed through the first level. I think it's all about your mindset.
    Like Jillian says, if you want it bad enough you'll just push through it...but also if you're body can't handle it, you need to listen to what she says about following the girl (on her left) that's going at less intense pace than the other girl (on her right). Once you build yourself up then you can start following the girl (on her right) the way Jillian wants us to do the workout :smile:

    Good luck to you and everyone else at level 1 :flowerforyou:

    p.s. make sure you guys do extra stretching before and after....I found that doing so will help with being sore.

    I got heavier weights too,. I started with my bricks LOL

    the only downfall is, when I`m doing the chest things with the weights up in the air, the old mortar falls off the bricks into my face :noway:

    oh my gosh...i just got done with day 2 level 2 about 5 mins ago. *sweating* If I don't see results by the end of these 30 days I'll be extremely surprised. *takes a deep breath* I think it's time for a shower lol

    Hope everyone did well today!

    Good work ladies!!!!

    I swear, it is day 4, and I feel a MAJOR difference! I seriously feel that my shoulders and my stomach is looking better already - is that even possible?

    I'm hooked!

    Hubby did it tonight - he thought it would be a piece of cake, and that man was sweating! He used his P90X dumbells, and I'm not kidding, Jillian kicked his butt!!!
    :tongue:

    I'm on day 5 and really starting to see a difference in my edurance and my body. Did you know that I have calves??? I saw one for the first time since I got married 7 years ago!!! I was so excited I had to show my hubby!!! He just kindof laughed and told me how good I was doing and he could tell a difference. I can''t wait to start level 2. I got this DVD when it first came ourt and I never got out of level 1. Sounds like everyone is doing great!!! Keep up the good work!!

    Wow sounds like you ladies are doing a great job! :happy: I see some of you are seeing a difference in certain parts of your body and with endurance. :smile: That's so great, congrats!
    I feel like I lost some inches in my waist and arms. I don't want to measure myself until I'm done with the shred....kind of like a surprise thing lol

    So, on the first level I wasn't sore or feeling any sort of aches after each day of the shred...but yesterday morning and this morning I'm def feeling sore! Level 2 works out completely different muscles as well as the same muscles as level 1. It's so much fun tho! I can't wait until you guys get to level 2 :happy:

    Hope everyone has a good day!

    Good work everyone!

    Yay for Thin4Payton! That is awesome! I really see a difference, and now I am pesstering hubby, "Do you see a difference? Do ya?".
    :tongue:

    Can't wait to weigh and measure on Monday! I hope to see an improvement - but even if I don't - I know it's just glycogen in my muscles and fluid, because I've stuck to my calories 100% and worked my butt off!
    :flowerforyou:

    Let's have a great POSITIVE day!!!!

    I wish I had a hrm, I'm logging it under circuit training and it says about 200 cals I don't want to be overeating because i thouhgt I burned more than i did kwim?

    I'd say if your knees were too sore to do the video properly then you should probably take a day off, im sure it won't hurt. I took wednesday off

    The DVD is Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and you can pick it up at Amazon, Wal-mart, HMV, etc! Mine was dirt cheap at $11.99!

    It is AWESOME!!!!

    Today was the third day in a row when I did it in addition to a run - I'm actually feeling pretty exhuasted today!

    Have a great one everyone!

    Hi! Not a new "shredder", but new to MFP today.
    I got this video for Christmas. I pop it in now and then, but the longest I've done is 5 days in a row. (level one, obviously).
    After reading all of your posts, I am re-energized and re-committed!!!! I love your enthusiasm for the sweat... and the sore muscles... and the creative equipment (bricks?? really??? LOL :laugh: )

    So, I'm joining the Shred Thread today with my Day 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Thanks for the inspiration!
