    I received my video last Saturday. I did it Monday and couldn't get through the whole thing. Yesterday I woke-up a bit sore and by the end of the day I could barely walk. I do the elliptical everyday, but guess I don't use all my muscle. I think I used muscles I haven't used in years. I am really sore again today, but I am taking some Motrin. I am going do it again today. Goal: to get through the first set without stopping!!

    Anu, I don't think you need any other equipment, except for a mat if you have hard floors.

    I will do this too! Already own the video and weights and love it, just have NO motivation to do it! Will the before and after pics be posted on this thread?

    Yay! we got a group going and we can motivate each other! My goal is to try it, if I have to stop mid video I will...I want to do it right, I want to listen to my body, and I defenitely don't want to be unable to walk for days. I plan on taking motrin after the first few work outs as well LOL

    Sherrie I don't know, I don't have a problem doing that once I figure out how to do it. ... But I don't know how the other ladies feel about that. I am in! LOL This will defenitely motivate me into making sure I do it EVERY day so my pics can look good LOL

    I did 3DS last summer inconjuction with some other workouts and was able to lose 16lbs in 3 months. I've fallen off the exericise wagon this year though and am ready to get back in the swing of things.

    Hey guys I LOVE it!! I thought I was going to have problems with my knees or legs but I was fine. My arms on the other hand were hurting. I love the combination, by the end I wsa not only out of breath I was sweating a LOT. I couldn't believe it. I did my second dya earlier, and I actually did much better but arms are still hurting. So guys becareful when the doing the jumping jacks that's when the knee injuries can occur. I am veyr happy I got this work out tape.

    So some of us how talked about the measurements. I measured myself, would like to see how many inches I lose by the end.

    My waits is 35.5
    Hips 43
    My thighs 24
    I was trying to measure my arm but wasn't very successful at it "/

    Good luck and lets stay posting!

    Have a happy Fourth of July!

    I'm a day late, but I just finished Level 1 Day 1. Totally kicked my butt, at times I thought there was no way I could finish, but I did it. In fact just typing this, I can feel how sore my arms are gonna be tomorrow.........but it will all be worth it. I need to lose about 10 lbs by my birthday at the end of August. I have consistently been doing about an hour of the arc trainer at the gym at least 4 times a week, but think I'm at a plateau, so hopefully the 30-Day Shred will get me losing again, so count me in!

    I'm on L2D9 this morning. Realistically... I had to take a day off here & there. If this is your only exercise, then you may not. I'm also doing Wii EA Active 45 Day Challenge, P90X Ab Ripper X & the sit-up/squat/push-up challenges... then a couple of other things thrown in here & there. Basically, it seems I'm taking a day off every 3 days. I just get to a point where my body is sore & resting a day helps a lot... even though I had a TON of guilt over it in the first place.

    Wear a HRM if you have one or can get your hands on one. The most calories I've burned so far are 185. I've seen people say they've burned up to 300 w/ a HRM. I know weight, exertion, etc play a part... but I really didn't think I was slacking!! :laugh:

    I had to skip yesterday because I went to my 90min hot yoga class in the AM and was intending to Shred after wards but I was running out of time. Had to get ready for a wedding.

    Today I burned 216cals, 213cals on the 1st day. I may do this again later so I can catch up on days. I forgot how quick this workout was - one of the things I love about it.

    My goal is to use 30DS in addition to other workouts. My plan is to do hot yoga 3-4/wk, run/walk intervals during lunch 2-3/wk and stick to Shredding all the way thru the 30 days.

    Has anyone done any other JM workouts? I also have her Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism and No More Trouble Zones. I highly recommend these.

    Ok so its official...........it does get easier day to day, just finished day 3 level 1. But are you supposed to do each level for 10 days or once you feel like you can move on? I don't think I am quite ready for level 2 yet, but don't think it will take me another 7 workouts to get there............how are you supposed to do it? Any suggestions?

    This is the first JM I try but def want to keep trying others, I hate the commercials at the beginning so I leave the DVD on and get other stuff done since I can't skip it.

    I did Level 1 the first day and Level 2 the other 2 days, so I wouldn't get bored my plan is to mix up the work outs. I htink it was supposed to be level 1 for 10 days and the same for the other 2 levels. But I am doing one level one day and another the next day. Sow she pushes you, and I actually feel guilty If I even try to give up.

    So lets see what happens. :)

    I had to take a rest day today from Shred..........my knees are killing me after a 2 mile walk, 1.5 mile run, and just the daily stuff I did today. I'm going to try to wake up a 1/2 hour early and get it done in the AM before work starting tomorrow.

    I don't know if you gusy are doing it but I am! I finished level 1 and I LOVE level 2, find it much easier. I feel great and I am so glad I decided to get this DVD, you do get results, she is crazy, pushes you to an extreme but it's so worth it.
