I've heard really good things about it.
I've just finished level 1 but did a really modified version cos it is tough and had a busy so took me almost a month to do level 1 lol.
Starting level 2 or Friday and hopefully do that in a couple of weeks.
Give it a go its free on YouTube. Save u buying it!! xxx0 -

I did it in September/oct and lost 4 inches on my waist and between 7-10 pounds, my fitness level was absolutely zero when I started and I found it manageable and did enjoy it.0
-
I've got the DVD and got to level 2 about 6 months ago - did love it but dark nights and mornings put me off - now the sun is shining at a reasonable hour I am planning on starting it from Monday.....0
-
I've done it. Its brilliant! Everybody can manage 25 minutes in their day to do it. I have a much better figure since doing it.0
-
i think its a good place to start and i saw results. its free on you tube so u can watch and see what u think. i i found it hard but u will get stronger each day0

Whether you loved it or loathed it, or only got halfway through, you WILL get results from it.
As someone before me has said, it requires just 25 minutes of your time - anyone can pull through it.
You can view it on YouTube but the DVD isn't very expensive anyway. It is tough and your legs will ache for the first few days but it's amazing how quickly your body adapts and how your endurance increases is very noticeable.
I would urge everyone to have a shot at it.0 -
I've got it, but for me it's just doing the DVD on a regular basis - I get bored of DVD workouts very easily.
Saying that, it does work and you do feel a noticeable difference after the very 1st time.0 -
Do people count this as their exercise or do it on top of existing exercise? I assume this is done every day?0
-
I've just started doing this again, I'm on day 2. I'm currently in agony, but I have seen great results when I've done it in the past. I'm doing it because it's quick, I don't really have time to stick to anything more.0

I got good results from it, but I've had to stop due to injury. I wasn't trying to lose weight, just tone up and it was certainly helping with that.0

Jillian Michael's advice is five days on, two days off.
I did it a few years ago but always struggled to move up from Level 1 to Level 2. Never made it to Level 3 as I just wasn't fit enough. Planks and push-ups were my downfall!
It's a very quick workout (25 mins) and I used to do it first thing, before breakfast and shower, so only had to set the alarm 30 minutes early. I lost three inches from my waist in two weeks before a holiday in Greece a few years ago, so it definitely firms everything up!
I only do it very occasionally now as I have osteoarthritis in my knees and the speed of the moves in 30DS left me in agony (I'm fine with squats and lunges but do them slowly - Jillian was just too fast for me to keep good form). I also got bored with it after a while.
Try it out on YouTube first and also keep a look out for her other DVDs. I really like No More Trouble Zones.
I also now run three times a week (I used the NHS C25k programme/podcasts to get started) and weight train, as well as hiking in the Lake District and Peak District.0 -
I found out about it today and I'm giving it a go as from tomorrow :bigsmile:0
-
Yesterday was day 3 on level 1 for me. I'm already feeling fitter and stronger and I can really notice an improvement in my stamina.
I was slightly dubious to begin with, but I'm converted!0 -
I'm on Day 8 of Level 1 today!
I love it, what everyone says is so true. Had a sneaky peak at Level 2 and it looks hard, but i'm excited to move on.
I tend to get bored of workout dvds so have been doing Zumba and Yoga at weekends to keep things interesting.
I would absolutely recommend it, have fun!0 -
I bought the DVD based on the reviews on here. Started it on Saturday and I've done 2 days of level 1 so far and it's certainly a work out! Everyone is busy these days, so 30 mins is perfect to fit in with most people's lifestyle. I'm doing Body Combat and Body Attack once each a week too, so I won't be doing the DVD on those days. Fingers crossed it works!0
-
Ive had this DVD for 2 years now!! Still not done it....maybe today is the day....0
-
I did it earlier this year. Started a couple of weeks after starting MFP and really glad I did. Lost lbs and inches and could really see a difference which was amazing motivation (top tip: make sure you take 'before' photos to compare!). I actually started it again today but just going to do 3 days a week instead of every day like last time because I do plenty of other exercise during the week.0
-
Am on day 2 level 2 and have gone from not being able to do any push ups to doing 20 albeit girls ones but my upper body strength has improved amazingly and also think it is helping my general fitness levels with running. I like the fact it can be fitted into my daily routine, at home and is free. I too tend to do it on the days I am not running so usually 4 or 5 times a week.
Good luck and hope it goes well.0 -
Its my first time using the 30DS. i happened to find it by accident. Starting level 2 tonight and have done level one 10 days in a row. Dreading level 2 but after 10 consecutive days i have noticed a massive difference since is started. Take before and after pictures - highly recommended. I feel slightly heavier (so don't go on weight alone) and measure yourself before you start so you know how many inches you will lose.
I've been a gym goer in the past but i absolutely love this dvd! i'd much rather be a sweaty mess in my own living room than in front of other people!!xx0 -
Level 1, Day 7 here!
I've attempted it three times before and not got past day 7 because I get so bored, but seeing as the warmer weather has suddenly hit, I'm having another go!0 -
I've done it. It was brilliant ans kept me going due to the fact I didn't get bored and it helps you form a routine. I was really pleased with my results

I'm loving it...but may stick with level 1 for longer....I've just increased my weights slightly though. The 20 mins is enough for me.0
-
Today IS the day.....go for it..it's only 20 mins afterall. Good luck0
-
I'm on L3D7. I've seen results, but not miracles. As others have said, it's only 20 mins, free on you tube, and you will see results, whatever your level of fitness - what's to lose.0
-
Level 1 Day 6 today, only used weights the past 2 days though but i've definitely felt an improvement in my endurance/stamina. I've lost virtually a lb this week what with watching my eating habits too and after trying on a pair of my pants today, I found they weren't digging into my hips like they were before so, I've obviously toned a little too, which is great. :bigsmile:0
-
I'm halfway through level two and it's a killer, but I'm seeing results really quickly! Plus my endurance and stamina have improved so much since I'd started it I'm glad it's free on Youtube, although for level two I had to go on Vimeo for it. Go for it though, the results will be worth it! 0
-
I've done level 1 before but didnt keep it up... dont know why..... I really enjoyed it, its an excellent work out you definitely see results and really quickly!
I'm planning on starting again next week after this weeks hiatus (uh yeah ignore that im here writting this 0:) ) as well as zombie run, hopfully this sun stays too!!

Jillian herself wishes no one did this anymore
Her "upgraded" version of this is called "Ripped in 30" and has 4 levels - you do 5 days at each level, have 2 rest days and then move on.
In my opinion RI30 is more fun than 30DS, but both get excellent results0
