I have just completed Jillian Michaels 30 day shred lvl 1 and i must admit i expected it to last longer than 20minutes, but there is no way i could have lasted longer. I feel totally knackered lol
But i wore heart rate monitor and burnt 364kcal :)

    Way to go! I started level 2 a couple days ago and it's amazing that it's only 20 mins but she kills me :) I think on the weekends I'll be adding level 1 to level 2 for some extra body lovin ;-)

    I've been at it for 2 weeks and have lost a few inches in certain places :))

    I did day 1 of the shred last night...it definitely made me rethink my life choices, like buying 3lb dumbells instead of 2 ha ha! I can feel it in my legs mostly...I wish there was more of an ab section! Guess I'll just have to do another few sets on my own :)

    I'm starting level 2 today. I haven't lost any weight, but I've lost a few inches overall. I watched level 2 yesterday to see what I'm in for and it really steps up the ab exercises, which I think is a good thing as I wasn't challenged by the ab work in level 1. I hear many people get the most results from level 2. It looks really hard but I'm going to push through it!

    Day 26 (D6L3) - - - I absolutely hate this level, BUT I am doing it! 4 days left. Have lost 6.2 lbs so far and am waiting til I'm finished to take measurements, but I went shopping last weekend and had to buy a size smaller in jeans :-) Happy shredding!

    I am through day 6 of level 1. I may go another round when I get some tonight just for "fun". I use 3 different weights throughout as some thing are easier than others for me to do. That adds a little kick to the parts that aren't as hard.

    I just did day 2 of level 1 and the tops of my thighs are shaking! I woke up this morning and didn't know if I should wait a day to let my legs to feel better, but I pushed through it! I don't have a heart-rate monitor so I was wondering what are people searching for when they log it? Thanks!

    I just did Day 2 of Level 1. I'm not feeling *too* bad right now. My arms were shaking so much throughout the pushups haha! Was funny. I had to stop again part way through for a breather, but I'm getting better at it!

    Going to have a cold drink, then do some jogging :)

    I've only got a few more days of L3 left and then I'm done for now. Done it stretched out (along with going to the gym etc) though. I figure I may start it again come September, and this time do it five days a week, even on days I do other things.

    First week of L1 my abs were burning, but my legs are fairly strong already so didn't notice that so much. I guess I can thank all the hiking I did for work back in may/june for keeping my legs strong, he he.

    Yes, I did it from April-May. I blogged about it. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/mariposa224 There are pictures in there from 30DS, plus Ripped in 30 & comparison photos showing how much change I saw in the progression. :smile:

    Don't worry. Check out my results. (They're in my blog http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/mariposa224 ) Many people see DRAMATIC changes in their belly/abs.

    Without an HRM, most people tend to log it as Circuit Training, general.

    The days I wake up and my thighs feel like crap, I always push through it and do 30DS anyways. Afterwards, they're still sore, but they feel much better. I'm now to the point where they're not sore at all anymore, before, or after.

    I have just completed Day 4 of Level 1 and planning to have tomorrow (Saturday) as my "day off". Getting up at 6.30 am to do this is tough (I am not a morning person) but I have and am so pleased with myself.

    The workout is tough if you're not used to exercising (me) but is do-able. Eventhough I ached the second day, I pushed through. I thought 4 days would not be enough to notice any changes but I can feel that my stomach is a bit flatter.

    Doing something like this feels uplifting (as well as knackering!) and helps you make better choices (eating/lifestyle etc). It sets me up for the day.

    I am not doing anything else exercise-wise (a bit of walking maybe) and am trying to stay within my MFP calorie goal. So let's see if I can stick to it. Looking forward to seeing results.

    If you are reading this and unsure whether or not to do it.....get on with it...now. You'll thank yourself.

    I'm on day 3 of level 2 now, I only did 9 days of level 1 because i thought it was time to step it up a gear and DEAR GOD it is stepped up!! level 2 is definitely harder, and it's working different areas which you can really feel. I'm still struggling with push-ups, but hoping I'll improve the longer I'm at it.

    Haven't dropped a pound (yet) but thighs and hips are seeing a few cms drop off, which to me makes it worth it :)

    Just done day 4, level 1. Started last weekend but I only do it on the days when I don't have lots of other exercise going on. I can still only do about 10 push ups, and I completely fail at the jump rope part (my knees are not so great) and just sort of bounce about or march through that part.
