It has been great so far but my thighs and back hurt a lot. I also swear a lot during the workout. I also HATE the jumping jacks. :sad:

And I'm only at Day 2 Level 1.

Have you finished or tried it? Are you doing it now? Let's motivate each other because this is a very intense workout (at least for me)...

But I'm still motivated because I've seen some good results. :smile:

    OMG what a coincidence! I use music instead of listening to her. The truth is that I'm really,really sore. I can't even walk but somehow I managed to do the 2nd day of level 1.

    Yes,indeed. I believe it's good it only lasts for a little while because I get bored easily. I love it too and I hope I'll do all 30 days without giving up!

    I had the same thing just keep going i feel fine today just a little bit sore in the thighs but thats alright but the first two days were just painful i took me a looong time to go up the stairs to my room in the evening of day 2 :D
    When i get bored while working out i always think about the abs im going to have that helps me alot :D


    Are you just doing the shred or do you do something with it?
    I also go running for half an hour every other day.. but just because i normallly do that too :D

    I was in a great routine until I went on holiday and ruined it all. I'm going to start this up again because I really do enjoy it!
    It's a great workout, doesn't take up much time (or room!) and you don't need to go out and buy lots of expensive equipment.

    I was sore as hell for the first couple of days but it gets much easier!

    My only complaint is the first set of jumping jacks, followed by the skipping rope jump. That kills me.
    I scream f#%k a lot when I do her workouts. In fact, I've tried other workouts and I've realized that if I'm not screaming f%$k, then I'm just wasting my time.

    I just finished the shred this morning. Lost 7 lbs and am going to take my final measurements tonight. It was tough, and I took 3 or 4 rest days in total, but I finished it! Level 2 was definitely the hardest for me, though Level 3 isn't much easier. But that's the name of the game, challenging yourself. Don't give up! Happy shredding! :-)

    I did it, it was fantastic. First few days I hurt like hell and wanted to die but it was all worth it.

    Just finished day 1 of Level 2! Kicked my butt - I needed to take quite a few breaks. It's a great workout and is over quick (thankfully!) for anyone looking for something quick and that they can do in the privacy of their own home I highly suggest it!

    Just did the first day today.
    Pretty tiring, not sure if I'll be sore or not tomorrow.

    Do you normally do it every day with no recovery days?

    When do you move up to level 2?

    Hehe, so many questions!

    Hi there! I am on Day 3 of the 30 Day Shred and am doing pretty good. I have been doing C25k and am on week 8, so I just added the 30 Day Shred. Today, I am a little sore from running and the workout lastnight so I have been getting up every few minutes and walking and stretching. I think I have developed a shin splint from all the jumping jacks!!!! I hate them. I noticed though if you add a little bend to your knees when you come down it really helps take the stress of your knees. Good luck!

    I completed it some months back. I lost more inches than weight (only 2 lbs), but I got much stronger! Legs got stronger, butt lifted, arms stronger and inches lost in the waist. It also prepped me for P90X which I highly recommend! Now Im doing an Insanity/P90X hybrid that is AMAZING! lol Keep up the hard work girl!!

    This is my second time doing 30 day shred. I am on level 1 day 7. I remember a few years ago when I did it for the first time I was so very sore and couldn't make it all the way through. Now a few years later I'm trying it again and I'm in better shape. While it's not super hard it's still a great workout and I can really feel the burn. I love 30 day shred although this time around I'm not doing it 30 days in a row. I do it 3 days a week and run the other 3 days.

    I did the 30DS last month, and I was very sore the first few days, but don't worry it will get easier. I found that Level 2 was the hardest for me and Level 3 was my favourite. I'm doing RI30 on Week 3 now.

    Keep pushing through guys, cuz you can get some very nice results. I didn't lose any weight on the scale, but lost 8 and 3/4 inches. Still a while to go but these are my results from the shred.
