Anyone doing Jilian Michaels 30 day shred?

Today was day 5 for me. Love the shred! My legs are killing me. I did 30 minutes of NMTZ as well in the afternoon. But definitely I see an improvement on my fitness level.

I'm on day 12, level 2. Gained 2 pounds but that's fine as long as I feel less wimpy. Haha! I think my upper back looks slightly better. I wish I took pics.

Just completed day 8 of the 30 day shred and my fitness levels have definitely improved. She really is a task master!! Well worth it though!

my progress so far!! I don't have measurements though. Letting it all hang out in both no sucking in or anything... And please don't mind my mr burns hand ;P

I see a major change! Good for you!

Im on day 4 of level 1, how long are you all staying on each level before moving up?

I did 8 days on level 1 and then went to level 2, I just finished day 13 and still on level 2, I think I will go to level 3 on day 19. I think most people do 10/10/10.

Have just done day 19 - level 2 - did 10 days at 1, and I'll do 10 of each of the rest - had a sneaky trial at level 3 the other night, did it straight after level 2, it was hard but not undoable either!
am feeling pretty chuffed cos I'm in my 40's and I'm finding them relatively easy
(mind you I have been jogging for several months now so I think that might have helped me find it that bit easier)

I'm shaping up great - haven't measured and wont until the end of the 30 days but I will say my abs are toning up nicely as is my bottom and legs.

Everyone should give it a go - I FEEL GREAT

my profile pic was taken on day 15 :-D

I notice it on my back/shoulders the most too. I finished day 15 today. I've never made it this far so I was excited. LOL!

Hi everyone!!

I just joined this site now as was searching forums for people that are doing 30 day shreds now rather than a few years back..

I am on day 2 (did it this morning at 5am crazy!!) of level 1 and I'm exhausted. I never knew I was so unfit! My legs and arms hurt so bad!! I can't believe it's this difficult?? I've seen so many reviews saying Level 1 is easy!! god help me!!

How is everyone else getting on?!

I totally hear you about the legs hurting. My arms aren't too bad, thankfully. My legs have been on fire since day 2, today's day 4 and I'm still having trouble with soreness on the back of my legs. I really hope it goes away, I've been told it does!

The thing I loved most about this dvd is that it's so short. It kicked my butt but I always made it through thinking "It's only 25 mins! C'mon!" I feel soo strong these days even though mountain climbers are still killing me even 6 days into level 3.

For anyone still on the fence, I'd say definitely do it. The dvd is cheap, you can even find it for free online. Don't go into it expecting to lose 20 lbs. in one month like it says on the cover but do expect get a lot stronger really quickly and gain some definition. Good luck!

I agree with the above statements ! I am doing 5 days a week at the gym - mostly treadmill uphill walking paired with strength training reps and have been doing the 30 day shred video for 4 days now. I have been eating well and was beginning to feel frustrated with myself because my weight number has not been going down as much as expected HOWEVER the reason behind this I believe is because I am gaining strength and muscle.

Inches are definitely going down though! I am easly down half to a full pant size and have noticed my back is more firm and my bras no longer dig into my sides...which is huge to me ! I am going to take my measurements when I get home to have a more accurate tracking basis. I feel stronger each day and noticed my energy level is going through the roof as well as my endurance. I also noticed my "profile" has gone down and looks smoother where my stomach dosen't stick out as far..so there have been changes even if it isn't all weight based.

My front legs BURNED after day two - now I mostly have my upper arms that burn near the end as I push myself and am able to do everything but "normal" pushups. I noticed at work my posture has increased as well. Overall I think it's a great compliment to a balanced eating plan and excercise regimen.

started level 3 today (I'm on day 17) and wow, my legs ache from those ballet things too! Haha I was up a couple pounds since starting this but today was down again and besides the dumb scale, I can tell anyways, my shoulders and back mostly.

Hi . Does anyone know about how many calories are used for level one of the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred ?

I count all the levels as 20 mins of "circuit training" and 7 minutes of "mild stretching" which for me is 174 calories (157 for 20 mins and 17 for 7 minutes.)

Hi . Does anyone know about how many calories are used for level one of the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred ?

I use about 230-250 cals as measured on my HRM.

5 days left of Level 3...my HRM has recorded the last few times as 297, 308, 294 cals burned. But I think it depends a lot on your weight, etc. I also have some extra stretching included in there and a five min warmup walk on the treadmill soo...

I'm on day 16 and doing 10/10/10. I started aroudn 1/29 and do it 5 days a week. I've lost about 4 pounds and 6 inches so far tho so I'm happy with it

I started 30DS yesterday and was sore the entire day. Today is Day 2 and I am soo sore. I wonder if I can even make it through the workout. I barely made it through yesterday. I am not giving up. I found the floor work to be really hard. I am so out of shape I can barely do a crunch properly. Wish me luck on continuing and getting better!
