    Has anyone tried the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels? If so, how do you rate it and do you do it every single day?
    I am almost done with it and it's going very well. You're not supposed to do it every day, though. Jillian recommends a rest day or two a week. I started on Sept 1 and I've had 5 rest days.

    I'm through with 7 days of Level 1, and I'm really discouraged. Not because I'm not seeing results, but because of the amount of pain my calves are in. It's so bad that I can barely walk down the stairs. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what. I did the first 6 days in a row, then took 2 days off, then did 1 day, and now it's 2 days later and my calves are still screaming in pain. I tried to do it yesterday and couldn't even make it through the first set of jumping jacks for how badly it hurt. :(

    Day 2 on your rest day is going to be painful. Your body is recovering and your muscles are not used to the work. The soreness is a GOOD thing! Try taking warm bath and let your muscles soak or get some icy hot. Drink LOTS LOTS LOTS of water this will help with recovery. Also stretch more. I found that the cool down portion at the end of the DVD was not long enough for me at all. Don't give up!!

    I did day 3 today, will do day 4 tomorrow morning! I plan on doing it every day, no rest days, but that doesn't work for everyone.
    Haven't noticed any difference in my body yet but I didn't expect to so early on in the game!
    I call her every name under the sun while I'm doing it, especially whilst doing the squats/lunges with the arm raises. So worth it though!

    And remember the day next when you're stiff and sore and don't want to, do it anyway! It loosens up your muscles and you feel loads better afterwards! I could hardly move at all this morning until I did the dvd again and now I'm only a little sore :)
