Has anyone tried the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels? If so, how do you rate it and do you do it every single day?

    I just finished day 7 of level 1. It definitely works of you stick with it. You will be sore and you will sweat its a good workout. I don't do it every day but I'm also doing c25k right now too, I try to do it most days but with work and taking the kid to his sports there's not always enough hours in the day. It's worth trying!! Good luck!!!

    I just did my first day. I called Jillian Michaels some not so nice names but I finished. I am a little sore but I plan on doing this each day for the next 30.

    Thank you for your feedback. I tried it a while ago but didn't do it every day like it says and I didn't see results. I don't think I was dedicated enough. I'm going to stick with it and do it every day. Hopefully see results. Please feel free to add me as a friend. Maybe we can cheer each other on. I plan on starting tomorrow :)

    I just completed day 1 yesterday! It's tough, but great. I'm also doing C25K and I think 30DS will be a good balance to it.

    I did it in August and I did it 6 days a week and took a rest on Sundays. I lost about 6lbs and lots of inches! I loved it. Now I'm doing Ripped in 30 a few times a week mixed with some of the P90X cardio workouts and ballet.

    Today will be day 3 for me. I said I wasn't going to do it everyday when I started, especially after the first day, but it gets alot easier as you go on! I am super sore today, but I feel motivated and I feel very accomplished afterward. I also try to walk my dog 2.5 miles a day along with it.

    It's a great workout - it's hard, but it's doable if you stick to it. I have two more days left of level 3 then I'm done! I didn't do it every day, but aimed to do it at least 4 times a week with a cardio session or two in between, and 1 to 2 rest days. I lost a lot of centimeters, and toned up really well, but did not lose a lot of weight, I think mainly due to firming up

    I have 3 days left of level 3 and I'm done. I love it! I have lost about 10 lbs and lots of inches. I do it 6 days a week and rest on Sunday. I also walk on breaks and lunch when I am able to. I have recently started incorporating heavy lifting into the mix, but not enough to make a difference yet. I definitely sweat during the work outs. Good luck!

    LOVE it! I am a runner and do this DVD on my off days. I love Level 1... it is very good for all abilities. Level 2 is harder than Level 3 (IMO)... I am obsessed with Level 3! I just ordered more of her DVDs because I love that they are quick... 30 minutes max. I highly recommend it!!!

    AND order it from AMAZON... her DVDs are all under $10 there!

    My day one was yesterday! :D Awesome workout and definitely looking forward to level 2 and 3!! Really kicked my butt and I'm dedicated to doing it every day.

    I'm also doing a small challenge for myself - It's in the forums also. Day one is 10 squats and each day after that you add another 5. Today's day three for me so I get to do 20 squats before my workout tonight :)

    Cheers!

    I am about to do day 8 of lvl 1.. i was doing it every day but just felt too tired to put my best foot forwards so I changed it up to every other day and it is working much better for me. This is the 2nd time I have started it and doing it like this i will have a much greater chance of finishing it.

    Just done day 9 of level one here, waist is def trimmer and i can llift more and actually do some press ups! so getting stronger. I am going to have one day off a week as its hard on the joints and I do do other exercise. Def feels like an intense workout though!

    I love to hate that woman! I did it a few months ago and did it every single day for the 30 days (some days were hard, but I stuck with it!). Take your measurements beforehand because you will most likely not see a large drop on the scale since you are converting fat to muscle. I only lost a few pounds, but I lost about 8 inches!

    Keep at it, you'll be so happy you did!

    That's a good idea to take a day off. I feel like you have too and you still saw results :) Did you do any cardio in addition to the Shred?

    You've lost a lot of weight :) What other tricks do you have to keep losing. since you didn't see much weight loss from Shred?

    I am on Day 3.
    I'm choosing to do it every single day, because I know if I miss even one day I'll start to slack off.
    And coming from a person who doesn't exercise almost at all...... holy crap your arms and thighs and just basically your entire body will be sore.

    Just stick with it, and don't give up!!! Make sure to take a day of rest. I like to rest of Sundays. Sundays I'll clean house and take my dog for a nice long walk. That way it gives my body time to recoup and recover. I just completed day 7 of level 1. I feel amazing and have better energy levels. Good luck on your journey!!
