    Ok, I may have lied (not on purpose) but I just did a search for 30DS and I didn't find it. I thought it was in there because my sister logs it for her exercise, but maybe she just added it as an exercise for her database, since she uses a HRM. I was in a group on MFP that was doing 30DS together and it looked like people were averaging between 200-300 for 30DS. If you aren't in great shape, I would say you are closer to the 300. But if you are in pretty good shape, maybe 200 is right. Also, I logged 30DS as 25 (which it is with the warmup and cool down), that might give you more calories.

    I also did additional cardio (jogging or ellptical) with the 30DS, so I would meet my personal goal of 40 min of cardio 5 times a week.

    Yeah thanks :)
    I did try too find it but couldnt haha ......so im just gonna stick with circuit training general and do my extra 30 mins of cardio a day which gives me close to my goal for the day so then i know with the 30 day shred added on ill be meeting or going over my calorie exercise goal :)

    i wil maybe try and invest in a hrm in the future but cant right now :S

    if so that says 25 mins is 193 calories and according too MFP i need to burn 215 a day so what do i do?

    Hi :)
    I used circuit training before I got a HRM. I burn around 215 calories on the 30ds level 3 if that helps?

    If you're burning 193 calories you could always go for a 15 min walk to boost calories burnt to 215??

    Hope you enjoy the 30 ds as much as me! No idea what i'll do once I've finished it!

    Hi, I did day 3 level 1 yesterday and really felt as tho I couldnt put the effort into it that I needed to so am having a rest day today fom it. Am expecting my poisture when exercising will start to get better after a few more days as well, that's when I know the work outs will truly begin.

    Have looked at some of the before and after pics on aother post and they are truly motivational.

    Good luck everyone.

    HI, Day 4 is today and feel like I should cope ok. Yesterday was a rest day, I just knew my body wouldn't do it haha. I can feel a bit of an ache in my arms today but that'll be the weight they are lifting. Am well into this tho.

    Good luck for today, tell you later how I fared chloejaneg100.

    keep up the pressure everyone!

    I just started this video back up today. I have been using it off and on for over a year but never do 30 days straight. Does anyone know if you should do 30 days in a row? That was what I thought she was saying in the video, but I have also been told that you should let your body rest.

    Hi tinjc, my impression is you do what you can. Some have said that 4-5 days with a rest in between, others have gone all the way through. I managed 3 days, 1 rest day and am about to start again. Then maybe do 10 days at each level. I don't think there is a wrong way to do.

    Question folks.......

    This may make me sound like a right bozo but when you talk about 5lb weights are you talking 5lbs in each hand or would that make it 10lb?

    Cheers

    Jillian actually has her own weight loss tracking app, it has all her dvds in the exercise tracking section so I use it litteraly just to track my calories from her workouts and then enter something with the same calories! Such great workouts! I reccomend killer buns and thighs if you dont mind not being able to walk the next day! :laugh:

    Hi, this is day5 level 1.

    I did three days then 1 days rest. I felt today that I was more coordinated and had better posture. My arms seem to be taking the hardest toll and I am sure I can see some shape forming. Having said that when it came to cooling down on the very last exercise I could hardly keep my balance - good work out or what haha.

    Thanks for the gen on the weights I do not feel like such a whimp now.

    I did it a few months ago and loved it! It works out to be 20 min circuit training. It's a great workout! Level 2 sucked but keep it up you can do it!

    i have two sets, one of 3lb each and another of 5lb.
    after a few days i was able to use my 5lb (10lb total) through the whole workout.

    To be honest, I find 20 minutes of exercise a day isn't enough if I want to both lose weight and not eat like a starving orphan. So for Level 1 of 30DS I did 35 mins of cardio prior, and now that I'm into Level 2 I just do a 10-min cardio warm-up and then Level 1 and 2 back-to-back. It's been working great!

    I'm on level one and use a hrm for logging, generally I burn between 160 and 190 kcals for level 1. I use 3 kg weights, that's about 6.6 pounds. However, I replace all the jumping excercises with lower impact versions because I damaged my knees with an earlier attempt to get through the 30 ds. Also I can't advise enough to take rest days!

    Thanks for the advice on here. The weights for me are a bit of a struggle as it it my arms that seem to give out first. Will aim to increase them tho. Funnily enough I also am finding that 20 mins is not enough (I remember when I thought it was quite enough, thankyou) so do swimming or walking on some days.

    That's day 5, level 1 completed for me. Will have to do a catch up as I missed a day yesterday as well.

    Keep going guys, its worth it.
