    Day 3 was always the worst for me in any of the levels. I'm now on day 29!

    I started off with 3 pound weights, and have worked my way up to completing all of level 3 with my 5 pounds.

    My advice is pace yourself, but muscle through the moves. You'll be amazed how much more you can do by day 5 & 6 of each level.

    I'm going to do my official measurements tomorrow, but I've lost about 5 pounds and my clothes fit me much better.

    Good luck to you :)

    Yup - I just started round 2 of 30ds - I'll be doing day 3 tonight. I'll only be doing it 4 days/week though, alternating with c25k. I got great results the first go round. I could see, and feel, the changes in my own body as I progressed.

    So I did Day 1 of Level 3 tonight and it just FLEW BY! I also didn't like it as much as level 2. I found i had to modify a couple of the moves (like the rock star kicks!!!) just because i didn't want to hurt my knees....

    maybe i'll like it better tomorrow. and OH MY GOD those scissor leg ab moves...KILLER!! holy crap that was tough! (but in a good way! :D)

    I just started Monday and only doing it 3 days a week, and on the other 3 days doing extra cardio at the gym, Sunday's off. I wasn't able to do L1D3 today due to being sick, but if I feel better tomorrow I'm going to Shred and the gym. :) I love it and I have some of her other DVDs (6W6P and BFBM), which I want to try after I'm done :) Feel free to add me! I log my exercise everyday and love to help motivate!

    Just FYI- There is a group of us doing the 30DS right now... if you want to join, just search the groups for "30 Day Shred September" and it should pop up! Everyone is in different places with it, but most people are still on Level One from what I can tell :)

    Hey all,

    Thank you all for your replies!!!!

    I just thought I'd check in and say thats me just finished day 5 and am finding it easier, my strength is definatly building and when I woke up this morning the aches were gone!!!

    I am also finding my energy levels are increased if I do the work out early in the day I'm looking to do it again in the evening and was wondering if you did it twice in one day would you knock the extra workout off the final 30 days??.

    I have taken all my measurements and before photo's (not very atractive) on day one and am excited to see the difference on day 30.

    Happy Shredding everyone xx

    I second being careful: I damaged both knees with all the jumping. In hindsight I think that was because my leg muscles were so tired 9 days in that they didn't properly absorbed the shocks, hence the damage to my knee caps. Doctors orders in my case said no more jumping.

    I will however do the Shred again. Next time I will replace some of the jumping excercises for lower impact varieties. Also, rest days in between are a good idea!

    I just completed day 7 (level 1) this morning! I'm also running or power walking 3-5 days/week! I can already see results and I've lost 1.5 lbs and 1 inch just in the first week!!

    Hello, hello!

    I'm on Day 6 of Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred. This is the first day I'm taking off as I feel absolutely exhausted! :-P

    My legs have been mostly sore, but not as sore as when I first began. I can also do the modified pushups now, and most of the jump rope cardio move!

    I have also been trying to eat better since I started 30 Day Shred.

    Hi All,

    I've just completed day 3 of "30 Day Shred" and thought I'd see if there was anyone else out there doing it as well.

    I have to say I have found it pretty intense so far and the muscle aches are bad (can barely climb stairs). I'm assuming this is due to me doing it correctly and that it will get easier.

    If there is anyone else in the same boat as me I would love to hear how your finding it and any wisdom you may have on "The Shred" and how many calories a workout burns I seen on some website it was 133 per workout but they are so intense I would have thought this would have been more.

    Love Gemma x

    Hi Gemma

    I've just completed the 30DS and posted it on the community with my results under 'My 30 day shred experience'.
    You're doing brilliantly and yeah, if it hurts you're doing it right LOL

    Keep going, the muscle aches will go away. For me, it was by day four - five and believe me, I suffered for those four/five days. I couldn't even squat on the toilet!

    If you have an iPhone there is a Jillian Micheals app which is free to download, called Jillian Micheals Slim down solution. Its pretty much like MFP but she also gives you daily exercises and videos showing how to do them, and on the food/exercise diary, is her 30DS. Its based on your weight but for me when I started it I was 14st 8lb and I burned 234 cals per session.

    If you don't have an iPhone there is a great website with over 500 activities on it, which also gives calorie burn based on your weight. It has Jillian Micheals DVD on there but is not specific to which one, but it still gives a generic burn for her dvd's.

    Here's the link: http://www.healthyweightforum.org/eng/calorie-calculator.asp

    Good luck with your shred.

    Claire x
