30 Day Shred

I started it yesterday as well! I woke up so sore. Excited to do it later because my boyfriend said he'd do it with me, lol

Hi everyone. I stumbled on to this thread. I did you tubie it and am currently viewing. I maybe getting ahead of myself but, is each day a 20 min workout. I am viewing level 1. Is each level 30 days ..??

I am on lev 1, day 5 today. The first 2 days were hardest to me. I haven't lost #s or inches yet waiting for the whoosh.

I would do 10 days of each level.

Level 1 for 10 days
Level 2 for 10 days
Level 3 for 10 days

If you want complete 30DS and want another Jillian Micheals workout, I would suggest looking in to Jillian Micheals ripped in 30. Jillian uses some moves from 30DS in the ripped in 30,

I am on day 4. I had to miss yesterday's because the living room was occupied... I don't have anywhere else to exercise. On day 2 and 3 I was in absolutely crippling agony, could hardly get up and down stairs. Tempting to say 'I can hardly move, I'd better have a rest day' but I wondered if the exercise would actually help my warming my body up and loosening the muscles so I worked through the pain somehow! My legs were killing me. After my 4th workout I still ache all over, but in a kind of nice way - I can feel that the exercise is working but I'm able to move like a normal person again lol. My endurance is improving already, on day 1my body was constantly quitting during the strength routines. Now I can do the press ups without having to stop and can get through the whole workout without stopping for a quick drink. Under my tummy fat my muscles feel firmer and harder, I'm just hoping the cardio will get the flab off so the improvement is visible! I think my posture is improving which is one of the most important things for me. Just hoping some weight will come off soon, at the moment since starting it I have put on a pound or two. I have crappy knees so the things I find the hardest is anything where I have to squat down, or the lunging. I'm struggling with getting those side lunges from level 1 done correctly but I think I am improving slowly. I really enjoy the cardio, which is the easiest part of the workout for me but it kills my boobs with all the bouncing up and down even in a sports bra!

Just finished day 2 (level 1) today, and I'm beat but feel good. I was definitely tired this morning and felt it in my legs, but all I can do is tell myself to push through it ! Although, my push ups (I can do 2?) and how tired I get over cardio is a little embarrassing I think I might spend more time on each level than said, but we'll see! good to know so many others are trying the same thing

I am going to do level 1 for 30 days. I have a lot to lose, and its not easy for me to get thru. Once I conquer that I will move on to level 2 and 3. GOOD LUCK

I am on day 10 level 2... the scale has not moved an oz!!! I do feel a difference and the exercise does get easier but pretty disappointed about the scale. I am going to stick out the 30 days and hope to lose and tone!! So far, I have only missed 1 day but I see it is better to do the dvd for 2 days, 1 day cardio, 2 days dvd, one day cardio and the the 7th day be a rest day...not sure if I dare....I WANT TO SEE THE SCALE MOVE TOO!!!!!

I am on L1D3, and jillian is not my friend!
Although I do feel alot better and I guess I am getting used to walking like an invalide and dreading having to sit down on the toilet, or sit down on any low seat intact.. I have lost lb!!! I have been doing alot of the excercises at there most difficult and introducing weights, but I think it's mainly down to the amount of water I've been drinking!

Not looking forward to tommorow!
Hope everyone's doing okay

I'm going to start this tomorrow. I'm so excited to get in shape. If anyone needs a friend to help stay motivated, add me as a friend.

^LMAO. Exactly.

I am exactly half way through, right smack in the middle of level 2. It's pretty tough. I wish I hadn't skipped out 2 weeks during the holidays. I'm sure I ruined my progress. Stick with it, level one will get easier and then it's on to level 2 and soreness again. My glutes and thighs were hurting and my arms are always shaky and weak for a little while afterwards. I hope you took before pics and measurements. If not, DO IT NOW!

ETA: with all the different moves she makes me do, I still find that faux jump roping crap to be the hardest. Seems so simple but I have a hard time doing it without stopping. Me and jumping don't get along.

My trainer had been incorporating jump rope into the lifting routine and she finally gave up on my and has me 'air jump rope' because I was tripping all over myself! I could get like 5 jumps in and then would crash. Especially hard the closer to the end of some awful leg workout! I didn't remember it being so hard in my childhood.

That's really good to know, so far I think I have only put on 1 or 2lb and not lost anything. I haven't measured so don't know if I've lost any inches. But looking at myself in the mirror, I THINK I can see slight changes/improvements (although that could just be wishful thinking and brainwashing myself!) At least I can definitely say my muscles are getting stronger. I think I am even starting to see the very slightest definition on my tummy now, my lower back feels strong and my legs are firmer so it's definitely working! I will be doing Level 1 day 6 today.

Hi, I'm on day 13 of 30DS (8 L1, 5 L2) but I haven't really seen any inch loss. I have only dropped from 140.8 to 138.6, but that's it. Anything I night be missing?

Good luck to all of you facing the challenge. I completed 30DS about this time last year - amazing the results you get! (I really should do it again sometime soon..!)
