Hi All,

So i am on day 8 of the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred DVD. So far so good and no injuries - Hooray!

I was just wondering if there is anyone else out there who is currently doing this or has done this DVD in the past?

I know there are forums out there but they all seem to be quite old or it's the bodybuilding type that seem to be putting the work out and the people who decide to do it down. (Boo them).

Please feel free to add me so we can swap notes!

Thanks

bekki :-)

    I started Last week am currently on day 6. I have to be honest, as much as I love Jillian, it is sooo BORING. I'm realizing I need uptempo. Right now I'm conflicted do I at least make it to level 2 before I say not for me. I have seen all the 30DS success threads and I WANT To like it but, eh!

    I am! I just finished Day 4, level 2 this morning. I'll add you!

    I'll be honest, I thought some of the Level 1 moves were a little bit easy, but Level 2 is tough! princessnik7 - if you think 1 is boring, you might want to jump to 2 and do the remaining 30 days on 2 & 3.

    I have added it into my routine . I did Monday, Wednesday, Friday last week and Monday so far this week. Was planing to do it tomorrow but I have a commitment. I think I would aggravate and injury if I tried to do it straight.

    I've started and stopped. Started and stopped. Need to start again! Tonight! However, how do you know when to move up to the next level?

    I started today. I found some of the strength moves quite hard.

    I can't do press ups at all as my upper body strength is bad. I have to admit I struggled but I will stick with it.
    I wasn't impressed with the cool down with about 5 seconds for each stretch.
    About half a hour later most of my leg muscles felt really tight, So I did 20mins on the cross trainer and did my usual round of 8-10 stretches holding each one for about 20 seconds.

    Do most people do it every day or alternating days.

    I started Level 3 today. I did 3 days Level 1 then 9 days of Level 2 (I took 3 random days off during that time, so it has been 15 days since I started). I have lost 5.5 lbs and 1/2 inch off of each arm and thigh and 1 1/2 inchs from my middle. I love it! I am also doing half of the Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds 2 Mile Walk (basically 1 mile of it) before I start Jillian each morning just for the extra cardio. I found level 2 much more challenging then Level 1 and Level 3 kicked my butt this morning!! I am trying to decide which one of her DVD's to start next???

    I did Day 7 of level 2 this morning! I'm loving the shred! I've lost 6 lbs since April 1st and significant amount of inches (not sure how many exactly as I didn't measure the first day). I've sent a FR to you! :) Anyone else can feel free to add me as well!
