    I am starting tonight. Any suggestions?

    Jillian does not do enough calf stretching in the initial warm up. Pause and stretch your calves! and then again at the end. I could barely walk for days when I first did the 30DS. :-)

    She doesnt do enough stretching on anything. Sit on you legs and leen back (for a bit) to stretch you thighs too. Additional stretching has saved my life!

    I have also noticed that she doesn't do enough stretching. I was really sore the first few days and then I started adding more stretches to my cool down. I haven't been over the top sore anymore since then. I still get the "just had a great workout" sore, but not the intense hard to walk like I did before.

    Day 8 for me tonight, put on 4lbs after the first couple of days but it's all back off as of this morning.

    Body is starting to feel sore now which is a good thing.

    did L1D6 this morning, feeling great with it. I'm gonna stick with it this time too, as I'm off from Uni on my easter holidays, nothing to stop me getting up and working out. By the time I go back I'll have broken my lazy habit and started a new healthier start to the mornings!

    I am on day 3. Feel free to add. :) I was sore day 1 and day 2. I am no longer sore. I have yet to do day 3. I am glad I started over the weekend so I didnt have to come to work all sore. I feel fine now. Didn't see anything change with energy level. However, day 2 I felt like I could do a little more and push myself a little more. :)

    Try soaking in a tub with epsom salts and while your in there try to loosen up the tight areas of your knee by pressing on them..( and calves and thighs)This will be painful but necessary..Its what i do and it really helps take the knee pain away..Make sure you are eating spinach and or nuts for magnesium or taking a magnesium supplement..When i first started 30ds..My knees hurt a lot now hardly a bit..I am on level 3 I love it too..I have lost 4 inches off my waist..just measured today!!!:happy:

    Can someone explain to me what this workout is exactly please. I'm new to this and cant find much information about it. How long do the workouts last for and would you recommend it?

    Jillian michael's 30 day shred. You do three circuits which are 6 minutes each. Each circuit consists of Three minutes of strength, two minutes of cardio and one minute if abs. There are three levels. You can do each level for 10 days or at your own pace to finish 30 days. There are no breaks between the circuits. The full workout with warm up and cool down ends up being just over 27 minutes.

    My progress so far Day 1 and then Day 17
    It really works!!

    I am on Day29 now, I am so much fitter and have got massive results. I would suggest the epsom salts bath it works wonders when you are sore. I am looking to do another Jillian fitness DVD next as I think she is great.

    I'm moving on to L2D1 tionight. I'm doing each level for 10 days, 30 days straight. No breaks. I know people say you should do rest days. But for me 1 rest day can easily increase to 2 rest days and excuses and slacking. I can handle Jillian for 30 minutes a day. And I feel so much better when I do it. I make sure I stretch more and stay hydrated. I was sore for the first 3 days then it subsided. I wonder if I'll be sore the first 3 days of level 2. I guess I'll find out.

    I did Day One Level One last night. I had a little trouble with some of the ab stuff but other than that I kept up pretty well. It will probably feel worse tonight because I have a few sore muscles.

    Sweet baby Jesus! O_O

    That is a knock out result. If I can get half of that I will be over the moon!

    Can I ask what sort of calories you were eating during 30DS? x
