    I find I job on the spot with high knee jogging. I cant do the jumping jacks as I have very bad knees and the impact kills.

    I think the trick to to adapt to some other form of high intensity if there is something you cant do due to a medical reason. otherwise push hard and you will get thru. the first 2 days killed me...I have done 3 sessions however they are not consecutive as I do water aerobics 2x weekly.

    This mornings HRM reading was 268 calories burnt on my 1st day.

    Yep, first day was 295 for me - 2nd day it went down to 175 :( huge drop but I think I was so sore I just wasn't putting my all into it :)

    I felt sick the first day too...and am experiencing a lot of dizziness with the getting up and down - and, by the time I've got off the floor Jillian and her best girls have done two or three reps ...lol!!!

    I have lost 2 or 3 inches off my waist though - and that's after 5 days!!! I am so looking forward to the end results.

    Keep telling yourself it will be over in 25 minutes...

    What size weights are people using? I bought some 3Kg ones - they are a wee bit heavy but 1 & 2 k felt too easy...

    I've been doing it recently. Started at the end of April and did it for 11 days straight and then missed a day and haven't been doing it everyday since but have still been doing it every other day or so as well as walking and swimming.

    I read yesterday that while doing a Podcast, Jillian was asked how often the 30DS should be done and she said that she recommends 2 days of the shred, one day of cardio, 2 days of the shred, one day of cardio and then a rest day.

    Apparently her marketing company came up with the name 30 Day Shred and she feels a rest day is very important. Thought that might be useful for some people who usually take rest days or who are worried that everyday might be a bit much! I know I do, I was coping fine doing it everyday but I guess you do need to allow your muscles to heal for a day! :)

    P.S On Day 11 I attempted to do Level 2 but didn't feel that I was ready for it. I could only do half of the exercises to an extent that I could say that I'd worked out for 20 minutes so I'm back to doing Level 1 now as I'd rather do 20 minutes of proper exercise than 20 minutes of half assed exercise which I'm not overly capable of doing! Haha

    I'll try my best!!

    I don't have a heart monitor though so won't get an accurate reading - what do we log this as on the Exercise database? Thanks!

    I think the general consensus is to log it under cardio as Circuit Training for 20 mins :)

    Please add me too...I started on Saturday and have had sore muscles ever since!! I've just done Day 3 and have to say I'm not sure it is getting any easier due to my muscles feeling sore but have just pushed on through although I feel like I'm not able to put as much effort into it.

    I'm 30, 5'5" and 145lb. I'm not totally sedentary but have lost my fitness after working away for a year and eating whatever I liked as no one was watching.

    I've never done fitness dvds before and am likely to fall off the bandwagon!!!! So need a thread to keep me motivated.

    I'm also interested in the size weights people are using...I don't own any so have been using tins of beans!

    Hello, I am going to end in 30 days shred. Yesterday I was able to do all the levels at once. When in mid-March could barely make a level first Surely this is a great program for beginners, I can see how my body is stronger, more beautiful shoulders, rose butt, abs appeared. Now mix things up No more trouble zones, shred, ripped in 30, body revolution. jogging one day, the next day I was doing something for the program.

    It was my birthday last Monday so I treated myself to some new weights. I'm currently using 2kg and I feel they are just the right weight for the 30 day shred. I've tried Josie Gibsons 30 second slim before I didnt do it every day but every other day and felt much fitter. Im looking forward to starting the 30 day shred today and will let you know how I get on!! (If Im not keeled over! lol) I'm definately going to be having at least 2 rest days a week on this tho. I dont think its good for you muscles to do it every day they need recovery time. x

    Helpful Hint:

    I find doing the 30DS first thing in the morning works much better - you see results faster as you are burning body fat as opposed to the carbs you've stocked up on during the day.
