    I quote Jillian Michaels under "Circuit training general" the Jillian Michaels that is listed in the system isn't correct!

    I do Shred a couple of times a week. I like Level 2 better than Level 1. I have to modify all of the jumping and moves hard on the knees (mostly the cardio) because of an old knee injury, but I still feel like I am getting a decent workout. I am also really conscious of not leaning forward or bending my knees past my ankles. I was very happy that I could do it with these modifications and not hurt myself!

    Do you find that with the skipping that your calf muscles go really really tight of is it just me?

    Day 1 kicked my butt so hard that I had to take a full week off to recover. I couldn't walk, stand, sit, or even lie down comfortably! But I picked it up again a week later and have done it everyday for the past 3 weeks without any soreness. However...

    After about 4 days on level 1, I noticed that my knees hurt when I walked up and down stairs. I'd read a lot of horror stories about people blowing out their knees with this workout, so now I modify a lot of the moves. In particular, I do mostly static lunges rather than bouncing in and out of them.

    I haven't really lost any weight despite doing this every day, keeping my calories under 1200, and running 3-4 10-minute miles every other day. But I am able to 10 perfect push-ups now and couldn't even do 1 when I first started. So I feel good about that :)

    Also, I don't log the 30-day shred into myfitnesspal at all as I suspect it would overestimate the number of calories burned.

    I've been doing 30DS for 8 days now, I actually felt good enough to go to L2 after 4 days on L1. I was really sore on day 1 and 2 of L1 and then something just snapped (not literally lol) and I felt great! My heart rate gets going and I feel like I'm getting a good workout in L2 but I never got sore, my muscles felt a little tired but not bad at all. I hadn't worked out in months prior to 30 DS but I am active and I wouldn't call L2 easy and I am very careful to use correct form. I haven't lost any weight (eating between 1300-1500 cals @152 lbs) and my clothes are not fitting any differently, I am afraid to take my measurements again for fear I won't see any changes and get REALLY discouraged. 1. Has anyone else had the same "problem" of NOT being sore at the beginning of a level change? 2. How soon should I be able see ANY kind of changes? At least when I was sore it felt like there was change on the horizon. Some people report changes in the first week. I'm really in need of some encouragement.

    Today will be my third day of level 1. I also do the elliptical on days I don't go to my trainer. Can't believe that it is only 20 minutes long and has me sweating like crazy, especially because I am somewhat used to the exercises. I will be tracking my progress and provide helpful tips along the way on my blog.
