Hey guys,

I started the 30 day shred yesterday. So far loving it, but i mean it's only been a day.

Would LOVE some advice, success stories, and of course new friends so that we can motivate and support each other.

I would also love to hear of any awesome work outs you love the most, turbo fire, brazilian butt lift, etc.

Thank guys please add me and i will support and motivate you on the path to healthy, beautiful, body and life :)

    Good morning. I just started it two days ago also! It seems fun and I did notice that my legs are a little sore, which is great bc I know that means it did something. I am only using 3 lb weights, but I will increase to 5 lbs in a few days.
    She is so motivated when I want to quit I just look at her tummy and think... I want that! ;)

    Good luck on your journey! I'm right behind you... About to do day 3 now!

    Happy Saturday!

    After the first 10 days my knee was KILLING me, after some googling I noticed a pretty big tread with knee pain during the shred. So I trashed it and moved on to a few other videos.

    Thanks for the support. So far I love it I used 5lb weight cause i didn't know where my 3lb weights were hahahaha but wow it was really hard there was a part where you side lung and hold the weights up at the same time I couldn't do it at all hahahaha. I was dying half way through but wow you are right there in front of me so now i know someone i can get advice from. YAY good luck

    Honestly, it's just good old fashion exercises in a circuit. Makes me sweat like crazy and feel muscles I haven't in a long time.

    I think people have to be smart and do what is right for them. I know I'm not advanced, so I try to stay between the beginner and advanced. I know my knees can be an issue, so sometimes I do girl pushups with a towel under them (because I'm on a yoga mat on a hardwood floor). And while I try to avoid it, sometimes I jump rope instead of another round of Jumping Jacks. So I'm still moving and still getting in cardio, but not hurting my knees so much. I actually had to speed up on jumping jacks from their pace... it just wasn't natural for me and my short legs, haha!

    I'm finished with day 5 of level 1 using 3 lb weights thinking I should have done 5 lbs because the arm strength part is the easier part for me. I like it though I'm excited to be at the half way point for level 1. I stopped hurting after day 3, and now I can push myself more. Good Luck to you!

    Thanks for the advice I will totally watch my knees and see if they start to bother me if so I know it is the video and not me so i will change it. Hope you had luck with other videos any good ones you could recommend ?

    WOW that is awesome!!!! I am so happy for you 5 days is hard work. I am feeling the after effect from just one day. Thank you so much for all your advice. I do girl push ups too cause I just haven't built up the muscles in my arms yet.

    I'm curious of the advice you receive; I'm looking to start this Sep 1. Based on past "threads" i've seen, the results have been PHENOMINAL!

    I did 30 day shred and have now been doing ripped in 30. I wasn't doing any exercise when I started 30ds and did that alone and lost 5lbs and 9 inches overall. I could see and feel the difference in my stomach and arms. It really does achieve great inch loss results!

    Advice.. Do the whole 30 days and don't drop out. It's completely worth it. My knee was bothering me for about a week but I just went easier on lunges, etc. and took one day off in the whole 30.

    Here's the link to my results post:

    Jillian Michaels actually recommends you only work out 5-6 days a week and have a rest day. Apparently the marketing people were the ones selling it as doing 30 days non stop. I have several rest days while doing it and still got great results.

    You definitely don't have to do it 30 days straight. I did because I felt like it... But it's definitely important to get some rest when you feel the need.

    Good to know you can get great results without doing it 30 days straight. I'm only on day 4 but I had to skip yesterday just to give my body some rest and I felt bad.

    I'm on level 2. Yesterday was my 2nd day. OMG, it's rough, but seems to go a lot faster than Level 1. I'm actually not as sore as I hoped I'd be :(
    I'm going to be starting TurboFire on Monday. I hope to be able to continue the 30 DS in the mornings & TurboFire in the evenings. Wish me luck :)
