I have heard several variations of a 30DS workout schedule. From what I can tell most ppl just go at their own pace and create their own schedules. Some ppl do 10 days straight of each level. Others dont move to the next level until the feel comfortable with present routine and exceed the 30days. some ppl mix each level up as to prevent bored of repeated routines. So id say do whats comfortable for you and go for it :happy:

went to ehow and asked lol, how to do 30 day shred, see answer below:

#1) Before you start Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred, take your measurements. You'll be glad you did later. Measure each arm (thickest part), each thigh (thickest part), upper waist (smallest) and lower waist (at your belly button), and your hips (biggest part). Write this info down, or put it in Excel so you can come back to it after 30 days. This work-out will probably cause you to lose weight, about 10 lbs, but that can vary. You will definitely lose inches, however, and develop tone that will surprise you. The reason your weight doesn't drop as quickly is because you are developing muscle and reshaping your body.

#2) Get a copy of 30 day shred

#3) Set aside a time of about 30 minutes each day to do Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred workout. You really need to do the program EVERY SINGLE DAY for results. It's very difficult in the beginning because you will be so sore, it will hurt to live. Jillian says work through the pain. Do not stop or wait until the soreness subsides, and you will be amazed at the change in your body in just a week.

#4) Start with 3 lb. dumbbells and work up to 5, or start with 5 if you think you can handle it. Jillian Michaels and the other fitness instructors are using 5 lb. weights in the video, but they are advanced trainers. I started with 5, but I've been going to the gym for years. However, that said, this work-out still kicked my butt, and I thought I was in pretty good shape. That's how hard core it is, but very effective.

#5) Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred is designed in three levels to be done over the course of 30 days. Level 1 of the workout should be done for 10 days, Level 2 for 10, and Level 3 for 10. When you finally can complete Level 3 of this fitness program, stay there, or mix it up every once in a while. When I started Level 1, the first three days, I could not do everything. I had to severely modify it by using the weights only half the time each set (the other half I did without any weights at all), and doing female push-ups. On about Day 10, I could almost do the whole thing. Feel free to stay on Level 1 until you can master it, then move to Level 2. You do not have to move up every 10 days.

#6) At the end of 30 days, take your measurements again, even if you are only on Level 2. You are sure to see a change of about 1 to 2 inches in most parts of your body. This will probably put you down a dress size. In addition, you will be stronger, more toned, and actually in shape. You'll be glad you let Jillian Michaels kick your butt.

Warnings/Tips:
#1) Find a place where you will not be interrupted. You are only allowed to stop for 5 seconds between each set, according to Jillian Michaels herself.

#2) If it's too hard, start by doing it without free weights.

#3) This workout is probably too difficult for extremely out of shape people who never exercise. Take it slow.

I'm just passing along what I found

I did the 30 Day Shred a couple of months ago. I did 10 days of each level but was getting a little bored of them by the end of each 10 days. I had around 6 days off during the 30 days so the whole thing lasted 36 days.

Absolutley agree that you go at your own pace - but the idea is that as it is only 20 mins long it does need to be pretty hardcore - the first 4 days are the hardest. Your legs will be aching so much that it even hurts to sit down but for some reason after Day 4 the pain all goes away. Even when you get to Level 3 which is intense you never have that aching pain that you have in the first 4 days. But it is all worth it folks.

As the guys at the gym say...pain is weakness leaving the body!!!!!
