    I listen to her podcast every week on iTunes and she talked about this the other week. She says to shoot for doing the workouts 5 days a week. Take off extra days if you are too sore to prevent injury, and of course keep your diet as clean as possible.

    It will get easier if you stick with it. Usually after about the 5-7th days it gets easier and you won't be so sore. I have worked up to Level 2 and still haven't been sore like I was on days 2-3. Stick with it!

    I always do it pretty much 10-20 minutes after I wake up, I make extra time in the morning because I know I will feel good for the rest of the day, plus I get it out of the way so I don't have to worry about doing it later in case I'm too tired after work. If I'm ever feeling like I don't want to, I always think of the quote, "I'm closer today than I was yesterday." And that always gives me the little push I need to go. I've come to start looking forward to my morning workouts. :)

    I just finished day 7 of level 3. It gets easier!!...and then you move up a level. Just push through and take breaks if you need to,but don't skip any moves, pause the DVD. I found that ever workout gets a lot easier after day 3 or 4. I also find that if i take two days off instead of one, I come back so much more refreshed and can breeze through the workouts! good luck! you will see big changes!

    Hi Everyone, How do you motivate yourself to stick with it? Did you do it in the mornings or evenings? I've tried it but after day 3 I just stop! I love how I feel after but just can't seem to stick with it long enough!

    I found after the first couple of weeks I was bored with it, so I mix my week up. I do 30 Day three times a week, I dance two and try to just move the other two. This works for me. Yes, it is a slower process; however I am seeing results. My rear end is not headed south so much and my belly button is higher on my stomach. :)

    I am 61 with a bad hip. I was fearful but I am on Day 3 of the shred. Honestly, the hardest is the jumping jacks and getting up and down. This is due to my bad hip. I have and still do Just Dance daily. I have been doing it since jan 1. I know this is the reason that the shred on level 1 really is easy. If not for my hip I would go to Level 2. If I, at 61. an do it so can anyone.

    I did it in August and although I didn't lose any weight I looked a lot better. It felt great after I was done and walking up many flights of stairs is so much easier now :D
