    I did one day of the 30 day shred when I weight about 220 lbs. I barely finished it and I was sweaty and red and could not walk or move anything for days without pain, it took me a year and a half to pick it up again, this time 20 or so pounds lighter. I work out many times a week and still struggle with it, but that just shows that it's a good workout! Anyone regardless of size can do it. Like others have said, take your time, modify the moves. I still cannot do push-ups, even girly ones so sometimes I do them against a wall! I just did level 2 for the first time last night and couldn't finish every move. Stick with it and you'll see results!

    I use 3lb weights and it works great for me...at the moment (I'm on L1D5) I would be too afraid to try anything heavier. When I first started (the first time, this is round 3 or 4 for me...yikes) by husband bought me 5lb weights trying to be helpful. I had him try and use them and he only got through about 5 minutes ;) They have been collecting dust ever since.

    hi. im on day 8 of the 30 ds. i found it soooo hard a the start, im 32 pounds overweight, and i honestly felt like i was dying, but saying that, it was only 20 mins, and 8 days later im on to level 2 and i really enjoy it. it took me a couple of trys to get into the swing of doing it every day, i got it about a month ago and did it once a week on level one to get more used to the pace. i also jog on the spot for 20 mins a day to get used to the cardio. dont let your weight stop you, once you start it gets soo much easier and its soo worth the stuggles of the first days. feel free to add me if you want support :)xxx
