    Ripped in 30 is even better! Yes, her workouts are hard on the knees if you do not use proper form. This is sooooo important. The best recommendation I can make after completing both videos is to slow down and use proper form. You are doing more harm than good if you ruin your knees. Aside from that, once you build more strength, your knees will not hurt and proper form will come much easier. Good luck and kick butt!!!

    My first day killed me...I had to modify the jumping jacks. I had to do my push up on the wall..but i kept moving..took a day off cause i was soooo sore..last nite i worked my way through them ..did my push ups normal..one set of jumping jacks normal..then modified the rest of the jumping jacks.. .. I could kick myself in the butt for letting myself go again :(

    But I love the workout...your not bouncing all over your living room or bedroom..so if you have limited space its great!. Im not gonna start counting down my 30 days til I can get through level 1 without any modifications.

    Good Luck!

    I'm so glad to read that someone else modifies the exercises! I do a modified jumping jack and butt kick. I also do a modified push-up but I am going to need to move to doing an upright (on the wall) push-up because I am killing my knee.

    I also will not start counting my 30 days until I can get through level 1 without modifications. I figure even if it takes me 90 days to do a 30 day shred (30 days per level) I am still moving my dang body and that's worth something!

    yes...its easy enough for a beginner but still very effective...you can follow 1 of the 2 girls doing the video with Jillian...one goes full on while the other does a simplier modified workout...i think you'll like it...

    I just started this workout this morning because it's too dark to go jogging in the morning now. I was able to do all the exercises but I was surprised how much I was sweating by the end of it. I struggle with pushups but I did what I could. I am going to do my measurements tonight. Thanks for all the posts. Great info!

    How long did you do it till you went to level 2?

    I'm on the shred and it's great. I decided it would be a bit of fun and I can feel the changes - It's only 20 mins also. Level one has it's easy days and not so easy days but defo getting fitter. I made a wee video for advice before you start the shred :-P http://youtu.be/oYBX3a-VdxE

    I just got this DVD and I am SUPER excited to start it and begin my MFP journey. Besides the weights (I was told 3 or 5lbs), and I have a yoga mat, do I need any other "equipment" to complete the workouts??

    It is so hard and I'm a runner! I've done it about 10x but haven't measured myself since I started. I will say your endurance builds up fast! I don't love it but it's such an awesome workout so I keep doing it

    Nope, not a thing. I find that for the chest flies (you'll see) the 3lb weight is not enough. But, It's all I have, so I do it. I saw another poster say she has a set of each, for the very same reason.

    Best of luck to you!

    I started back on the DVD's after having two ligaments repaired in my knee. I did marching on the spot but did the arms for the star jumps or the punching as already mentioned. It all about keeping moving I guess. Just try and and do what you can without it hurting. Im about 3 months post op now and right back into it and on level 2, loving it! Do the DVD's on the days I don't go to physio.

    The general idea is 10 days on Level 1, then next 10 on Level 2, then the last 10 on Level 3.

    You don't need much space, so long as you can lay down comfortably and put your arms straight either side of you out then you have enough room.

    I love 30 day Shred also! I am on day 21 (Level 3) Level 3 is hard, but I am able to do it, some moves I need to do the modified move. I have lost inches and a pound a week. My clothes fit so much different. Keep up the great work everyone!!

    As long as you have enough room to do planks it should work, you don't need a huge area. Of course, if your neighbors live upstairs they may mind all the jumping :)

    I've done 30 Day Shred and Ripped In 30. Doing 6 Week 6 Pack now. IMO there is nothing better for about 20 minutes a day!

    Btw, I went to Level 2 after 5 days and it kicked my butt!!

    Takes no space at all. The biggest space you need is to do the "skiier" side to side cardio for 60 seconds.

    Did day 5 today. I'm so stoked that I got all the way through the push-ups (albeit modified) without stopping. That's a pretty big deal for this FatGirl!

    I did 3 days and took a rest day. I found day 4 to be much, much, much easier after a rest day.

    AND... I started paying way more attention to my form during squats and side lunges. My knees are thanking me for it!

    Keep shredding, shredders! You are doing great!

    I did Day 10 Level 1 today. Feeling good.
    Starting Level 2 tomorrow. A bit anxious.

    I've starting investigating what to do next and I saw a Ripped 30. (also Jillian)

    Can anybody share the experience of doing the Ripped 30 after the 30 Day Shred.

    Thanks!!

    I log it under cardio - circuit training.
    I use a heart monitor and Level 1 I was burning on average 145 cals and on Level 2 I'm burning average of 165.

    I've so far lost 2 kilos and 16.5 cm, cant wait to see the final results. It's the best busy girls workout with great results.

    You can get it on youtube, just search 30 day shred and choose the one that over 20 minutes.

    Im on level 3 and have 3 days left. Its taken me a while to complete as I only do it 4 days a week 2 days at the gym and 1 day rest. Still seeing results and lost 10 lbs since starting it.
