I'm going to start Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred Monday. I thought it'd be fun to have some motivational/accountability partners. I'm going to attempt to stick to this schedule as closely as possible (but you wouldn't have to do it):

2 days 30DS
1 day cardio (probably elliptical at the gym)
2 days 30DS
1 day rest
Repeat

I read somewhere that this was the schedule JM had intended for this program. It allows me to fit the elliptical and a rest day in so it sounds like a winner to me! lol

Any takers?

    I will join you! I need some accountability!! I actually started day one today...OH MY GOSH!! I honestly thought I was going to throw up in my living room floor! I felt just like a contestant on BL! I could hear Jillian yelling my name!! It is a very tough 20 minutes but surely I can do 20 hard minutes a day for those kind of results!

    I already have the DVD at home for the 30 day shred and I have always wanted someone else to do it with me. I will most definitely like to join this challenge. :)

    I just ordered the 30DS and it will be here Monday or Tuesday. I have trouble sticking with workout DVDs so I will need all the support and motivation I can get.

    I'll probably start Wednesday morning.

    Mudshell1 you should make it into a group on here so we can all keep the conversation going. Maybe we should take measurements or something at the beginning so we can see the difference from day 1 to day 30.

    Awesome!!! I can't wait to start!! I wanted to start today but wouldn't be able to do anything this weekend so I figured I'd better wait. I'm sure that being afraid of it didn't have anything to do with it one bit. lol

    Great idea about the group! I will look into it up when I can sit down at the computer.

    I can't wait!

    I did the 30 days sometime last year. I did the entire 30 days without a break in-between i.e. 10 days Level 1, 10 days Level 2 and the final 10 days Level 3 and I got good results.

    I started again yesterday but won't be doing it straight through as my job has changed so can only workout for 4 or 5 days a week. My plan was to do all 3 levels but after Level 2, I was beat.

    I did Level 1 & 2 yesterday and Level 1 & 2 this morning. It wasn't easy :smile:

    One point/recommendation-When I did 30DS, I lost no pounds, however I lost 5 inches.
    First four days, I was so sore I couldn't sit down on the toilet...but on the fifth day, I felt invincible and mega-proud of myself.

    It helped boost my self confidence and pushed me to continue onwards to start training for a 5k. Good luck ladies. :)

    I did my first day today and loved it! I was already sore about an hour afterwards though, so I'm sure getting out of bed tomorrow will suck, let alone doing the workout again.

    ME!!!!!! For a while I was on level 3 and it was easy, but I've been slack lately and need to get back at it. I like your 2/1/2 schedule.

    You can get it at wal-mart for 9 bucks i think. There are 3 Jillian videos i believe and they are all $9. you also need a yoga mat and 2 hand weight's. I recommend 5 pounds each hand. It might not seem like enough but BELIEVE ME!!! You will feel it lol
