Just watched the Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred and I think I might die.
Starting this tomorrow. Here goes nothing! :drinker:

    Hi I am on day 2. Couldn't complete it the first day, but got thru it today. I heard it gets easier. Good luck. Feel free to add me. :)

    You can do it! I'm on Day 16. I'm not sure if I've really lost any weight but I can definitely tell I've lost some inches. And my arms are stronger and I have more endurance. Good luck!

    Level 1 is easy because it's the exact same sort of workout they make kids do in their elementary school PE class. Trust me it's not as bad as it looks.

    Good luck. I did it for the first time last week with a view to doing it every day before moving on to level 2, then I was struck down with a viral infection and haven't done it since, bummer!! :devil:

    I actually didn't find it too bad, but then I've been exercising regularly including lifting some weights with my husband.

    Its just under 30mins, not much so I'm sure you'll survive, let us know if you're still able to move your legs, haha :laugh:

    I am on day 5 and already contemplating skipping to level 2, but I probably will not. I know I can always make each step more and more intense. The first day it kicked my butt from the very beginning windmills. Who knew swinging your arms around was such work. Good luck to you! Just stick with it and you'll gradually be able to accomplish more and more of the workouts.

    I love her workout video! I finished my 9th on level 1 and can tell that I am doing so much better than my first day. It still gets me sweating and heavy breathing but I can do it so much better! Good luck! You can do it!

    The only thing I remember doing in elementary school PE was the stretching and maybe the crunches? Lifting weights in elementary? Never heard of that! What school did you go too?

    Oh and the jumping jacks and jump rope of course.

    LOL! That's funny! I started and stopped because I was going to spinning and doing both was kicking my butt! I might start again this evening! Be forewarned: Jillian is NO JOKE!

    I'm on day 11 (first day of level 2), some of my friends on here are doing it too and have already started level 2. Reading their blogs terrifies me. haha! I love it, though. It's a great, full body, workout in a short amount of time.

    It looks scary, but you can do it! I'm on day two of this round though I've done the workout here and there in the past. Take your time and modify as you need to, you do get stronger as it goes on. Good luck!

    I just started level 3 today, OMG!! This is my second time doing it though. The first round I 'only' lost 7 lbs but around 10 inches. Take measurements and pictures sometimes the scale lies. Just do what you can and modify when you need to. When I started I could barely get thru the cardio. But you will be surprised how your endurance/strength will change. And the pay off is worth it.

    Good Luck!

    Hi everyone

    I've been looking into this as so many people rate it highly! I like the idea of 30 min work outs and the opportunity to see some tightening up of some of jelly bits!

    However I'm just a bit concerned about working your muscles, the same muscles, every day with no rest...when do your muscles get chance to heal??

    I did my own strength programme yesterday and was going to aim for 3 strength per week and my running 3 times a week....but now I'm wondering if to do the 30ds and my running (i want to keep that up as I am aiming for a half marathon)

    I'm just worried about not resting the muscles enough.......
