    LOL about not being able to squat to go to the toilet! I KNOW that feeling! I am on Day 4 Level 1 and doing it three days a week. I have heard the stories about Level 2 being so much worse than the others and am dreading it, but you say it's arms and I really need the work there most of all.

    Congrats to you on your accomplishment! And good luck on your next Jillian adventure.

    Thanks for sharing I am on level 1 day 4 too, and beginning to get used to it despite having to make some serious modifications for back issues. I am seeing a Pilates teacher tomorrow and hopefully she can give me some ab exercises that I can actually do!

    Well done you, fantastic results

    Btw I log it as circuit training general

    DO IT!! Go burn it, if you can because on the DVD you can't skip the introduction, and have to listen to the same five minutes everyday, but if you burn it you can just burn the workouts. I've also been told all three levels are available to watch, in full, on youtube.

    Good luck and let me know how you get on, because I'm really nosey ;)

    It's funny because a friend of mine prefers level two! LOL But I definitely felt it in my arms and mine needed that work. I'm still doing those arm exercises as I have noticed a vast improvement to the shape and strength in my upper and forearms now, so it's all worth the pain.

    Thank you for your lovely words, and good luck with your 30 days xx

    I do Pilates too, and have advanced in that class thanks to the shred. I think they both really compliment each other. Take it at your own level, and you will for sure, see an improvement.

    Oh thank you so much. That's such a lovely compliment. The bathroom became my nightmare LOL I had to use the side of the tub to help me sit and stand back up! LOL

    Thankfully that went away after day four. Then it was arms that screamed everyday! ;)

    Do keep going, it is totally worth it, not only for the improvements but for that sense of achievement.

    Keep saying it like I did ; Stand up and finish what you started. You will amaze yourself as each day passes.

    Please let me know how you got on, I love hearing other peoples success stories xxxx

    ahhhhh 30 Day Shred has been sitting on my desktop for the past two days. I havent stopped running everyday but for some reason it a bit daunting. You may have just given me that extra kick in the bum to take it on tonight! I'm 134, aiming for 125, but mostly I'm concerned with my belly(it's a big softie haha) "Finish what you started" is my new motto!

    Thanks so much for that!

    Your success is amazing!

    xoxo

    I have this DVD workout....and have had it for over a year now. The one time I decided I was going to start it, I couldn't find the dvd remote and couldn't get to the play option on the dvd player itself. I think I will go get a new remote this weekend. You have inspired me.

    It was daunting for me too. I left it a few weeks, and thought about it, and even weighed and measured myself but then chickened out. I eventually thought ;do it, and do it now' and I did! You can do it too, and your softie will be a firmy in no time :)

    Thank you for your lovely words. I'm glad my story has helped so many people, including my friends and family x

    LOL Yes, get a new remote but while you're waiting you can use youtube. All three levels are on there and in full, so get those training shoes on, grab those hand weights and get to it! Keep hold of that inspiration :)

    It helped mix up my workouts, adding new moves and using different muscles. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even those dreaded planks! All I can say is thank goodness she didn't have me doing burpies. I hate those!

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It's weird because I do have to remind myself, and when I do, that sense of pride is huge. It's like a drug.

    I'd love to hear about your success when you finish on Tuesday. Please let me know how you got on. I love success stories.

    Claire x
