30 day shred starts tomoro!

I've been doing 30 day shred for a bit under a week and haven't had knee pain but I can see how it could happen. Be careful during the leg exercises that your knees are not sticking out over your feet. puts a lot of strain on them if they're sticking out too far. good luck! I hope it goes better for you this time around.

Thank you very much, I felt I needed a good kick to start me off

Today is actually day 9 for me! I measured myself yesterday because it was exactly a week after I started and I already have lost 2 inches (or less) in my waist, bust, hips, thighs and calves. I lost two pounds and I also have more noticeable muscle in my arms than I did when I first started! Also, I can tell that my waist is smaller (it doesn't stick out as much as it did) and I look more toned than I did before. It's no a huge difference, but it's definitely noticeable!

The first three days I was so sore I could barely move the next day! Day five was actually the first day that I was not sore. It's definitely a hard workout, but if you keep it up, you will see results! Just imagine how you'll look and feel once you're through with it. That's what gets me through it everyday!

ETA: Also, I haven't taken a break yet, but that's because I feel like doing it everyday, but it's okay to take a day off every week if you need to in order to give your muscles a break! You don't have to finish this in 30 days. I know I probably won't since I won't move onto level 2 until I can do every exercise in level 1 and I'm still unable to get through three of them completely.

Day 5-ish for me and I'm not sure what I'm going to do... it tears up my lower back something fierce which interferes with my lifting schedule Going to keep trying though. More power to everyone!

I had the same problem did to day 5 and gave up on day 3 today but feeling determined also doing the 6week 6 pack but have no idea wether a rest day would be good or not because im doing both.
Also to anyone whos done it, do you find your arms get so sore to the extent that they cramp or is that just me :S

If you're cramping try adding more potassium to your diet, just need a small boost. Try one banana a day for a week and see if they get any better or go away completely. Sounds stupid, but try it.

well....I may as well start today as well. Whats there to loose....besides the obvious lol

Hi, I'm on day 11 of the Shred and I feel good. It takes your body some time to adjust to the sudden intensive exercise. Jillian has a short warmup and it was hard for me to get into for the first week- I just felt sore and tired. Definitely working out of that now.
We tend to remember and find time to do the things that are important to us personally.
If weight loss, exercise, health are truly a goal, than it needs to become a priority.
My suggestion would be to do some sort of exercise on the days you feel Jillian is too much. You are still getting your daily exercise and it feels good knowing you pushed through and did something.
I did Pilates one day because my back was so sore and there may be other day like that to come. Hang in there!

I am doing day 5 tonight. I’ve had no breaks so far but I am swimming and aqua-aerobics tomorrow and dancing on Wednesday so I might well have two days off it.

I don’t think Jillian stretches anywhere near enough afterwards and she doesn’t stretch your calfs at all so I do an massive stretch after and haven’t been too achey at all. I can feel I’ve done exercise but I’ve not had the crippling agony that a lot of people on here seem to have had and it’s not as if I was super-fit before I started.
