    Hi, I started about 2 weeks ago. I did it for 2 days, had 2 days off, then did it for 3 days and 2 days off. Seems a bit odd, but after a week I lost about half a stone. I suppose once you have done all 3 stages then you could continue doing the ones that help you the most. Ive heard some people stay on stage 1 as they are losing weight and still enjoy that workout.
    You should be able to continue running as its only 20 mins a session, and there is no particular diet just eat sensibly.
    Hope this helps =)

    1. No - you can have rest days
    2. sure - do it on the alternate days
    3. From what I've seen people usually move on to her other videos but I don't see why you couldn't keep doing it - at whichever level works best for you
    4. I think you can purchase something on her website for the diet portion, but you'd likely do just as well following MFP

    I've done it but never completed the full 30 days :S I always started with Level 1 - 10 days - trying my best to do it everyday, then on to level 2 for 10 days then to level 3 - it is a GREAT work out and will definitely give you some results!!! Enjoy and watch out for those rockstar jumps, they are killer! :)

    Im on day 3 level 1 and realistically i wont be moving off that level on day 10 as i still find it a challenge. Just take it at your own pace :0

    1. I did 10 days 2 days off- Days I jogged
    2. Def! I still walked 5 x's a day for about 30-40 min
    3. I just started it over again Monday but am now doing level 1 during lunch (I work at home) and level 2 once I get off work
    4. I do not follow a diet just keep up with my macros

    I got 13lbs off and about 15 inches overall this first time around but I consistently did it 10 days with 2 rest days and did not skip any days.

    Good luck doll!

    im on level 3 now and its a real challenge but i still continue it never the less coz if you dont push yourself, then you wont see change. Jillian Michaels says this herself in the video i think.

    in any case i do the shred saturday, sunday, monday, break, wednesday, thursday, break.

    I would get bored some weeks and would go to the gym or swimming instead but making sure there is consistency helps you not miss a session and if you do, you feel bad. well thats how it is for me.

    Hi, I am only on day 3, level 1, but I'll tell you my opinion. I plan to do each level 6 days a week for two weeks each. You don't HAVE to do it everyday, (Jullian won't find out and come get you, lol) but I believe part of the workout strategy is to stress your muscles for fast results. There isn't a follow up maintenance. I have a long way to go until I reach maintenance, but I am thinking that I will repeat each level twice a week. Jillian does have a 30 day meal plan, but it's just a sensible diet with a little higher protein. I am using five pound weights. Good luck!

    Amy --- I know it's only $10, but I have found all the levels on you tube. :)

    I'm just starting it but plan to alternate this with other workouts
