    I don't much like 30 day shred either. Well, I like how I feel afterwards, but I don't particularly enjoy doing it. I prefer something slower and more mindful - like yoga, or like lifting. All that leaping around doesn't do it for me! I actually like the one legged squats though - because I don't have good balance, and so for me those exercises are really useful!

    then don't do it, life is too short to spend it in things we don't like to do.

    I really HATED it too, I don't like the jumping, damaging things on my body. I don't like her at all for some reason, find what you love and do it. You are more likely to stick to something you enjoy. I started doing Rushfit ( in week 6) and love it.

    if you hate it and it's affected you negatively, drop it and find something else. don't torture yourself... in the mean time, while you search for something else, you could add extra walks or something and don't give up..
  • You don't need to go to the gym, google 'you are your own gym' I've been doing it and I absolutely love it, my arms look amazing!

    I've tried two of her workouts and can't stand either of them.

    I'm the opposite. Also doing 30DS and C25K - I HATE HATE HATE C25K - I'd much rather do the 30DS. Except I pulled a muscle in my shoulder the last time I did it, so maybe it doesn't like me much.

    I love the 30DS but I admit that I found Level 2 to be really trying. Level 3 is MUCH better. But I agree with everyone else. If you hate it, by all means don't do it. You aren't motivated to try your hardest to make each exercise count if you hate something.

    Get outside for a run or other things! I've heard that some folks at my office like P90X. I think they are nuts, but they like it. I use to love TaeBo and I still love Zumba (which you can do at home).

    Good luck!

    I'm on 30DS Level 3 and it KICKS MY BUTT. In the good - I can't believe i'm getting my butt handed to me this much by a 20 min video - kind of way.

    I do too. It's just really annoying because Jillian Michaels has a really nice body and she's pretty muscular and you know she didn't get that way by doing a zillion squats and lunges with 3lb weights.
