Okay. So my boyfriend downloaded the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and I thought it was only 30 minutes long. But the one he downloaded is 90 minutes long, but there's phase 1, phase 2, and a phase 3. So my question is: Do you do the whole thing or is it like after the 1st phase gets easy for you, you move on to the 2nd phase and so on. So each phase is 30 minutes?

    Start out with Phase 1 and then as you get better at it you go up to Phase 2 instead of Phase 1. Only do one phase.

    Thats what I figured. And then each phase is half an hour right?

    i am also doing this and I am just doing one level at a time and then will move on as i feel the need to go to the next level..I dont belive it is meant to do all 3 at 1 time..I think if you listen to her talk she says something about when your ready you can move on(but i could be wrong).

    Dont be surprised if you gain a wee bit in the beginning.....that's what seems to be happening to me. I am hoping after a week to go back down.

    Yes, each level is about 20 minutes plus warmup and cooldown :) Today is my day 12 and I've seen great results already :) I do 10 days before moving up a level. So today is my day 2 on level two.

    I was wondering why when I first started I wasn't losing any weight. I didn't gain weight, but I definitely wasn't losing any. I think it just tones u up pretty nicely so it looks like you're not losing anything. I'm going to start this again next week, I've heard you are supposed to do each level for 10 days, but when listening to Jillian she doesn't say anything about it, just that when you are ready go to the next level. But many of the people I know who have had great results from it have done it every single day for the whole 30 days, each level for 10 days. So maybe that's a good idea!

    I started out doing 30 day shred and was losing 3lbs a week when I first started. Then I dont know if my body got used to it, but I stopped losing weight after 3 weeks. I might go back to it and add it to my workout routine.

    I do the Biggest Loser PowerSculpt...and love it. It has 3 phases as well. But on this when you move up a level to phase 2....you also do phase 1.

    Im wondering if 30 day is the same.....

    I am understanding that you only do it one level per day. Many other people still do cardio on top.
