Who is familiar with Jillian's 30 day shred?

I am on level 3 of the 30 day shred. There are a couple threads about it in the fitness and exercise category that have alot of good feedback and information.

I found it to be pretty true in it's levels, i did 1 level for a week and moved on to the next one. There are things in all 3 levels that i had to improvise for my own body, example, after I moved to level 2 my knees started bothering me, so I have had to improvise when she is doing alot of impact. The jumping and cardio was/is harder for me in each level, the abs and strength I seem to be able to hang a little better with.

I think it is totally a personal thing, as to what works for you. I'm making it work for me by improvising, still moving and doing something else when she is doing things that hurt my knees. The plank moves are another tough one for me, they hurt my wrists, so I try to do most of them but sometimes will do the modified plank on my elbows instead. In level 3 she does do some moves in plank on her elbows so I think it's OK to do.

Hope that helps and good luck!!!

I love it. It combines 3 minutes of cardio with 2 minutes of strength trainign ( weights) and 1 minute of abs. It is VERY challenging, and I have really felt a sense of accomplioshment from doing it. I would recommend doing it 7 days before you decide if you "like" it or not. It is very upbeat and it goes by fast. Changing the activity every 3, 2 or 1 minute, you do not have much time to get bored. :-)

I just finished 30 days , i only missed three days , one for a day off , and the others I had other very hard cardio workouts I love it, it is a program where u will see results if u stick with it. The key is to give it time. Think i lost a good 7-8 pounds, hard to tell, but i know i lost, and I can for sure tell the difference in my clothes. I would say that it is not a good beginner program if you haven't done any exerciseed in a long time. I also do other cardio work in addition to the video. Good luck.

I loved and hated it. It's hard, but you know you are really doing some good things for yourself. The moves are basic, and anyone can do them. You don't need a great deal of time or special equipment to use it.

Get through the first five days, and you'll love it!

I am doing the 30-Day Shred now, on Level 2, Day 5. I am trying each level for about 10 days. I am down about another 6 pounds since starting it on January 1. I really like it so far. Hope this helps.

I pretty much did it all but three days. One day my body was screaming for a break. I do other cardio stuff. I also mixed the routines up.........a few days on one , a few days on two. I really don't think it is good to do the same exercise 14 days in a row. I just started adding level three into my routine. Please be aware that you can injure yourself because it does move fast and a lot of the polymetrics can be high impact.

i tired to do it everyday and that wasnt working for me, so i tried it three on one off . . . just do it to fit you. now a year later, i try to do it about 2-3 times a week to keep toning.

I think if you have been doing it for23 days, you should be onto level 2 for sure. just try it, see how you feel. maybe you are ready and dont even know it.:happy:
Of course food choices are apart of weightloss, I found that my changes in diet were more effective for losing weight than just exercise. but 30 day shred helped a lot for toning, very true. its what you put in it tho.
My meals consisted of a lot of fish, turkey breast, salads, cottage cheese(with a tiny bit of splenda and a bit of cinnamin) and steamed veggies. Loads of water and always remember getting the correct portion sizes!!! Hope this helps.:bigsmile:
