    I just finished day 10 of level one. Going to start level two tomorrow morning, and I'm a little scared.

    I alternated the first few days between 30DS and Yoga Meltdown, because my poor body couldn't handle it. But I completed the last 8 days straight and I feel amazing. I'm using 3 pound weights.

    I've already lost two pounds (this is the only exercise I'm doing, but I am watching my calories). I can already see a difference in my arms and stomach. My boyfriend even noticed!

    I'm going to try and do the next levels straight through. I find that if I take a day off, it's hard to get motivated again.

    Good luck. It's tough! For me, the hardest part is the strength - mostly the pushups!

    Just found a copy of the DVD, and am interested in trying this out. I'd like to start today, but what do you guys enter into the exercise logs? I searched for "30 day shred" and got nothing. I just want to make sure that I'm not overworking my body and underconsuming calories.

    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.

    The same thing happened to me after a week of doing it but I'm hoping to give it another go now x

    I've been entering it as "Circuit training, general" for 20 minutes.

    My boyfriend and I have been doing the 30 day shred for almost 2 weeks now. I am definitely a lot stronger. It is a little difficult but well worth it. Have not done level 3 yet but 2 kills me every time.

    I just started level 2 today. My everything hurts :(

    But I feel that it went by so much quicker than level 1. I guess that's a good sign. 9 more days and I'm off to level 3!

    I did 10 days straight, then took 2 days out and moved up to level 2 for 10 days.
    I lost so many inches when I did that (although not much weight, but that doesn't matter) - it's a brilliant DVD. I tried Ripped, but it seemed that it was toning muscles up UNDER the fat, so I was shedding weight but not inches.

    I am currently on day 7 of the 30 day shred and I too have a bad knee and shins (I am over 50 yrs. young) I decided to keep going with it because numerous advice from women over 50 have said they modified it even more to their joint ailments. I can do the jumping jacks but when it comes to the Butt Kicks and the Jump Rope I just vigorously march in place making sure to bring my legs high, keeping my posture straight and holding my tummy in. The rest of the routine doesn't seem to bother me. Just yesterday I went from doing the push-ups in 5 intervals (stopping the dvd so they don't get ahead of me) to doing 12 push-ups in a row, stopping and doing the rest. So I see improvement even though I have tweeked it to fit my ailments.

    I'm on day 6. My 8yr old daughter does it with me(without weights). We LOVE it. The first 4 days I was sore as hell. But hubby showed me some different stretches to do afterward and it helped a lot. I do 15-45 minutes extra cardio each day but only because I'm used to doing a hour a day and so I feel like I'm missing something. I measured myself in the beginning and will measure afterward.

    I have a bum right knee and so far no problems with that. I am cautious though and don't try to overdo on lunges/squats. haven't taken a off day but I have't felt a need to yet.

    PS...after doing a search through the forums I found that most people log it as circuit training general.

    Good luck to you.

    I've done 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30--I really like them both a lot. Great results!! I'm now alternating workouts, throwing in her Power Yoga and Extreme Shed and Shred as well.
