LEVEL 1 is DONE!! Thank goodness! I'm now watching Level 2 and am looking forward to Monday morning!
I've been meaning to take measurements but keep forgetting!
Ugh, I still have 2 more days. Which will be done sunday and monday. Then tuesday is either going to be cardio or rest day for me, depending on what happens with work.![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
In fact, Its going to be super hard to find time for exercise when I start a job! 0 -
I'm starting today. I actually found the dvd on youtube thanks to another post on here, so I am going to start my 30DS tonight when I get home. I want to be able to get through this entire series before I attempt Insanity again. I tried Insanity and it was an epic fail!
I don't even want to think of doing insanity. It seems awful. I'm happy doing Jillian DVD's

Yeah I'm doing it too! AAGAIN
I found the youtubes, and I stream it through my xbox in the living room. Good times. I'm on day 2, level 1. I can't wait to kick it's *kitten* again. And then I'm going to try the 30day ripped.
That sounds awesome. 0 -
I don't want to go through all the responses but does anybody know an approximate calorie count on this if you make it through the whole video? I will be starting level 1 day 1. The last time I tried to start this I could only get through about 15 minutes of it and then called Jillian every name I could think of and put the dvd away! I've had a little bit more conditioning since then and am ready to give her another chance.
edit to add * when I had set the stopwatch on my fitbit it said I had only burned like 20 calories and I'm pretty sure even in 15 minutes of staying with it I burned more than 20 calories.
I always list it under Circuit Training, and most other people do as well 0 -
Did Day 2 of level one yesterday and it was harder to do than the first day. I can tell my muscles were tired. I think I'm also going to do shred, shred, cardio, shred, shred, cardio, rest. My thighs are sore from the lunges and my shoulders from the anterior raises with 5lb weights. I need to buy 3lb weights for those, otherwise 5lb weights are ok for the other moves. I may even use 8lb weights for the chest flys. Today, I will do Zumba and then back at it tomorrow.
That's a good idea. My body has issues with Shin Splints if I do i more than 2 days in a row. So I kind of have to do the whole cardio and rest days.0 -
Just finished day 9, level 1! Last day tomorrow then onto level 2! I previewed level 2 and am a little anxious! It looks HARD!!!
It may be tough, but it will give you good results. I cant wait till I'm on level 2. I'm so BORED of level 1. I don't even listen to jillian anymore, I just mute my dvd player and put music on while doing it, its the only way I'm getting through it!0 -
Level 2 started today!! I miss level 1
I probably will when I get there, but level 1 is too boring. And I don't feel it doing much anymore with my legs. 0 -
If it is boring why don't you move on to level 2?0

Once you start a job you'll just have to squeeze in a workout whenever it works best for you. Good luck!!0 -

I've had a friend suggest to me P90X. I'm looking into it before I buy it. My computer doesn't do well with YouTube, so I'd have to buy a program. After Jillian.... hmmm.0 -
I had absolutely no energy to exercise yesterday. But it was day 8 for me today! And the first time I actually felt strong during doing push ups. Yay me!
I can see my face becoming slightly slimmer. Woohoo!0 -

I watched the first half of Level 2 today - oh boy. I think I'm gonna die once I start doing these exercises. Do you do the advanced version of all exercises? Upped your weights?0 -
I just finished day 2!! This is the second time for me, but I've decided that I'm not moving onto the next level until I can do all the moves without any breaks! Please add me if anyone would like to keep up the encouragement! I'm trying to lose weight for when I head to FL in January! I want to be in a bikini!! I love the shred!!0

I am on day 5 of 30ds. The first day wasn't too bad, but I was SO sore on days 2 and 3. I am determined to finish, even at 56! It is great reading all the posts. I am using 5#Weights because it was what I had. My usual rest day is Sunday and I plan on sticking to that plan if I can. Deer hunting may interfere as I have no internet there. I am also running at least three days a week. We can do this!!0
-
If it is boring why don't you move on to level 2?
Because I want the full 10 day's worth. I upped my weights so it's more of a challenge, but I still want the 10 days out of every level.0 -

That's awesome! Day 8 was today for me as well 0 -
i finished day 9 level 1 today ...1 more day til level 2...looking forward to it. i just noticed this thread today..enjoying seeing everyones progress. and hoping to keep up steam to finish.0
-
I started level 1 yesterday. I did it with 2.5kg weights mostly. I paused to get rythme but didnt stop. It definately worked up a sweat but I was fine today when I went to the gym today. Lets hope it stays that way for day two tomorrow0

Day 9 completed! And my first REAL push-up ever completed as well! How cool is that? 9 days ago I wasn't able to even think about doing the modified version. This is so encouraging. I am starting to feel so comfortable in this level I almost regret tomorrow will be the last day of it...
The last 2 days I had to push myself to work out though. I need to look at the before and after pics again - they are so motivating! I mean, just look at them!!! You are going to be one of those people!

I know how you feel. I'm moving onto level 2 without doing the last 2 days of level 1 because I find it so boring, and I need more of a challenge. I did Yoga Meltdown today and it was fantastically challenging but fun!0 -
Day 11, Level 2 is NO JOKE! Man, that is brutal compared to Level 1, IMO. I used 5 lbs and I'm glad I didn't go heavier. Definitely feel different muscle groups working. Mostly in the core which is excellent because that's where I need the most work anyway! lol0

MINE SHOULD BE HERE BY THURSDAY
IM EXCITED AND ANXIOUS TO START

I'm on my second go. I flaked out after day 4 last time. Today I completed day 6 and feel great. I will smash this bad boy all the way to day 30, and then do it again. (Or maybe switched to 30 Day Ripped).0

Haha I was thinking of redoing it with 5lb weights, but I've started doing the first few days with 3 lbs, then I'll move up to 5 lb to make it more of a challenge. I finished level 2 day 1 just a bit ago. I actually really enjoy it, a LOT more than level 1.0 -
I finally bought 30DS today and I'm going to start today as well. I'm anxious! I want to do well with it. I'm like, excited and nervous at the same time, lol! Wish me luck! oh ya, I'm going to be using 3lb weights. 0

Ok, I just finished my 1st day of 30DS and all I can think is "What in the hell did I get myself into?!" lol. My arms feel like spaghetti! I'm excited to see my halfway mark results (day 15).0 -
OK for us newbies...what's 30DS?0
-
Finished day 10, level 1 yesterday! Just finished day 1, level 2. I only have to things to say!! 1. Jillian is CRAZY!!! and 2. Plank is now the dirtiest word I can think of!!!0

"30DS" is 30 Day Shred, a Jillian Michaels workout DVD. There are 3 different workouts, each of which you are supposed to do for 10 days. I think most people end up doing it in about 45 days though due to taking rest days!0
