    I've got 3 more days of level 3 left (haven't done it in 30 days exactly, but over the course of 6 or 7 weeks). A huge thing for me was to write down all the moves in each level/circuit and then stop using the DVD after doing the level a couple times. Then I downloaded a stopwatch app on my phone and just did the workout on my own, timing things for 30 seconds or 1 minute just like on the DVD. I love Jillian, but she can get a little irritating if you listen to her say the same thing over and over :) It also allowed me to do things at my own pace - either faster or slower than Jillian's counts - and I could take however much time I needed to change position, grab a different pair of dumbbells, etc. It took a little bit of the stress and redundancy out of the workouts for me - might work for someone else! Good luck to everyone!

    Hello,
    I'm Male 41yrs Old and I started 30day shred on March 2012 to June 2012, 5 Days a week. I was 315lbs went down to 299 and then I stopped because I was getting exhausted and started to affect my GOLF GAME.. I went back up to 310lbs. I restarted 30DS on Oct 2012 and going strong. When I restarted I was cursing at JM and at myself for stopping and starting all over again. I started at 310lbs on my second round. A month an a half into my workout I started with MyFP food journal where I was at 300lbs. I'm now doing L3 + L1or L2 for a 40 minute workout 5 days a week. Golfing on Saturdays and resting on Sundays. I started with Modified (Anita) workouts and now I do the advance (Natalie) workouts. Yes it gets better but remember you will always need to push harder to see results. If it gets easy you will need to push harder and double the intensity. I'm hoping to go to P90X by Feb 2013..... I'm now at 285. My goal is 250 by March. Then I'll set a new goal....

    HI there~ I just started this program and I love it. I have done the Shred several times. What I would suggest is rotate another workout in with the 30 Day Shred. To do the same routine everyday is stressful to the muscles. I used the 30 Day Shred, walked, or did another video to break up the monotany. It does get easier even if you rotate other workouts in your week. You will notice definition in your abs and shoulders first. I did the shred on level 1 and level 2. I tried level 3 once and hurt my knee. Good Luck and congratulations on your new baby!! :happy:

    The first couple of days of each level are pretty much terrible, but it does get better I promise! Also, I started seeing visible results due to losing inches after just the first 7 or 8 days. I'm currently on Day 5 of Level 3 and I can say that while the workout is really hard and I'm definitely sore afterwards it's worth it. Keep it up! I promise you won't regret it. :smile:

    So true! I did day 8 of level 3 today, only 2 days to go. I was very unfit when I started the program and so out of shape. I felt I was going to die! But I did the modified versions (watch Anita...) and only used very light weights the first few days. If I couldn't keep up the pace with the cardio, I just jogged or marched on the spot. I really tried to push myself as hard as I could, but also had to take breathers every now and again. It really does get easier after a while, and you won't believe you ever found it difficult when you get to day 6 or 7 of each level. I loved the program!

    Ive started ripped in 30 and the first day I was sick and like I was going to die lol and had to stop also but im now on day 4 I feel so much better!

    So don't worry it gets better and you will feel great the endorphines will kick in.

    I did the shred last time I lost weight - I was great, and the results on my arms and abs were amazing!
    My baby daughter in two months old (I have only 2lbs of baby weight, but I was obese when I got pregnant). I want to do the shred again, but she won't sleep anywhere but in my arms. I don't think it is recommended to do the shred with a baby strapped to your chest, so I'll join you in a few months.

    If it helps you can always curse her out as you're working out :wink:

    When doing the punches pretend to punch her in teh face ... it really helps!!!

    I started fro the second time yesterday... I had great reults the first time I did it unfortunatly I let myself go and put all the weight back on within four months!!

    It does get easier, you will have days where you just dont wanna do it, just power through you will feel better because of it. I'm also doing 6 week 6 pack at the same time ... im not too sure why i must be crazy!! but that is soooo much harder it makes the shred feel easy!!

    Good luck :)
