Yes, it gets better! You see results really quickly too. I have done it a couple of times, and the first 2 or 3 days KILL, but after that, you will find it much easier. Keep going through the pain, it's worth it!
I'm on day 2. I hurt0 -
I know the feeling! I gained that much after my little one too and was super frustrated with how out of shape I was. But, remember, you body was building another human being so, be patient. That is no small task and takes time to get back to where it was. It does get better. Keep at it!0

If it's any consolation, my "baby" was 6 in September, and I still look like I'm pregnant.....0

I hated 30DS when I first started it, but now I love it! It's a great workout that you can squeeze in if you don't have a lot of time. I say stick with it, it will get easier and you will start feeling stronger. Do the easier movements in the beginning and don't move up a level until you are comfortable. If you have to do level 1 for 30 days instead of 10, so be it. Good luck!!0

I'm on day 5. it does get better. I was so out of breath the first day but now It is a lot easier. Just stick to it and you will see0

aww congratulations just remember youve just given birth not long ago .. easy does it ........0

The Shred is a hate/love program. It kills, but its a great workout. As long as you do what you can and eat clean you will see results. Keep pushing! :-)0

I did Day 2 of Level 1 today!!! Ow! My abs and shoulders hurt! So much that the pushups seem impossible!! But the results I've seen from other people are so amazing!!! I'm sticking with it!!!0

Definitely gets better and you do see results. I don't tend to do it everyday consecutively as probably should be done, but it is a great way to workout without a lot of time when you need to do that. When I did it several years ago, I never got above level 2 but again, still saw results. So just stick with it at the lower intensity level and only move up if you are not being challenged by level 1. Good luck!0

It gets better. As long as you do it consistently. Missing days makes it feel like you're starting all over again! But it is a great feeling when you can see yourself improve and getting easier! There's no shame in having to take a break for a second. At first I needed to pause the DVD so I could take a water break after practically every exercise! Just stick with it. I love Jillian's workouts. I have almost every single one now! And Bob! He's killer too!!!0

Wait until you reach level 2...OWWW0

When you get to about day 6 or 7 it starts feeling a LOT easier. You'll be amazed at how much your strength and stamina increase throughout the 30 days. It's designed for beginners, don't worry. Everyone feels like that at first. Persevere with it and you'll see amazing results, I did
Edit: I forgot to mention, DO IT EVERY SINGLE DAY. If you miss a day, you will regret it the next day, believe me. It's like you're starting all over again, like the user above said. Don't make an excuse as to why you can't do it one day, just do it!0 -
1. Congratulations on the baby
2. 35lb gain pregnant isn't bad - pretty good actually
3. My sister started doing that dvd when she weighed 230lbs ..... you can do it0 -
I completed my first day One, level one 2 days ago and I still cant walk properly. My calves are so damn sore.0

It totally gets better...promise, promise!! Don't give up, in a few weeks you will see results and be glad you cont. on
Promise!!0 -

^^^This. Sadly.
It does get better though. About day 4 or 5 you will no longer feel like you're going to hurl your diaphragm. Hang in there!0 -
I just look at it as 20 minutes of per hell and then it's over;)0

hahaha my baby was 4th of July and I still look 6 months preggo. Gained 80 lbs with her0 -
I finished the 30 day shred just after Christmas, and did it everyday for the full 30.
The first 4 days were rough, but I kept myself moving even if it meant modifying a little bit if I needed to.
I saw great results in those 30 days. Stick with it and be patient with yourself. Your muscles and joints are still going back to their old positions after shifting during pregnancy.0
