    I want to do the 30 day shred so I can hopefully start losing inches. I am excited that so many people are on board. I want to try to do it 3 days a week. Do you think that's good or should I be doing more? how many days a week do you guys plan to do it?

    wow, this is perfect. i just joined the site today and i had planned on doing the 30 day shred starting tomorrow anyways! i started it a few weeks ago but skipped so many days that i became really unmotivated. it's difficult but i think it'll definitely be worth it. i'm glad i'll have people to share it with!

    I'm in too! I've had 30DS for a while and it's been a long time since I popped it in and worked out. It'll be tough, but I need the motivation!!

    I started already but I really wanted to throw this in for people that haven't worked out to the shred yet, do a bit more warm-ups than what Jillian gives you. It will make such a difference in the soreness. Especially if you are really out of shape like me. After my first day I woke up and I literally couldn't get my knees to bend. I had to walk around like a zombie/Frankenstein's monster for the day. Then I warmed up a bit more the next time I did it and I made it through with a lot less soreness afterward.

    It's just a tiny handy tip I wish someone would have given me.

    This workout is so worth it and I wish you all lots of luck!

    Day 1 of my 30 day shred:
    I was going to start tomorrow on the 1st, but I usually have Sunday as an off day or a nonstructural workout day. I survived the first session. It was tough, but I know this is something that I can stick with. Especially with everyone's help. I am doing it on exercisetv, so I only have level 1. If I like it in the next few weeks, I will go out to wal-mart to purchase it like people on here suggested.
    On average, how long do you stay on each level? I guess if I feel comfortable doing level 1 for a few weeks, I will be ready to move up to level 2, but only level 1 is on exercisetv.
    Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Generally speaking, people do Level 1 for ten days, Level 2 for ten days, and Level 3 for ten days. But if you don't feel you're ready to move to the next level by that time, you don't have to, of course. Move at your own pace. :)

    Day 2 of Shred...I survived. My arms are still a little sore. Those push ups let me know just how weak I am. But I cannot wait to see my progress as I continue with the program. I'm going to finish what I start with the help of this thread. I read how a lot of people have the dvd and never stuck with it. I know its tough, but I cannot wait to start seeing and feeling the results. That will definitely motivate me to continue.

    SilverRoxy, did you get your shred on? Today was day 3 for me. I feel great, I won't say its getting easier, but I love how it makes me feel. I still have a hard time with the push ups, but I can pretty much do the rest. The side lunge with arm raises are hard, I only use 5 pound weights, does anyone else have that problem? My upper body is really weak, I really look forward to gaining strength in my arms. I'm surprised no one has been on the thread for 3 days, I hope everyone is keeping up with the program. Pop in to say how your progress is going, I need the support.
