    I started 30 Day Shred back in the Spring. I was on level 2 but had to stop because I was in an auto accident. But since then I have recovered and completed it! I began it again using heavier weights. I also teach Zumba Fitness classes several times a week. I love the combinations of cardio with weights!!

    Day one of Level 2 for me guys. Half again the burn of level 2 and I think it will be even more once I have the form for the new moves and can really get into them from the get go. This is a great thread - thanks for starting it and thanks to all those who participate. I had a 151 calorie burn from my HRM for those interested. I use 4# weights.

    Maybe this question has already been answered, but where do you find the 30 day shred workout? Sounds cool!

    Well the "doing it twice in a day to catch up" didn't work out too well for me. Not necessarily because it was too hard...more of "life got in the way." However, technically today was my "rest" day so I've done L1D4 today and I'm caught up to where I was going to be. I agree that its getting easier and I feel I can put more into it as I'm going.

    I've done it before in the past but never got past level 2. I restarted at the end of May and am now on my 3rd of level 3. My arms especially hurt from level 3. It seems a bit easier and tougher, if that makes sense, than level 2-working on different body parts.

    If I can do it, anyone can. I was barely in shape when I started. I still can't do things like push ups and planks but I don't think I would ever be able to really do those or not at least the full set.

    Also wondering the fitness level of those starting this program. Currently entering push phase of chalean and and debating on doing the shred after completion bc of it only being 30 days or taking another big leap and committing to another 90 day program, turbofire. Any suggestions?

    Hey everyone!
    I just finished Level 1 Day 4 and I found today a lot easier. Still struggling to do all of the push ups without modifying, but I felt a lot stronger with the other moves.

    Tomorrow is my 2nd rest day this week, so I will go to the gym and do cardio instead.

    @gabby--I love how you've modified to get through all of the levels before your vacation! Where are you going?

    @sugar--I agree with the others--just take a 5 second breather and keep going! You can do it!!

    @soph--that's right--don't give up!! It took me a couple of days to get used to the moves as well. I'm on day 4 and felt a lot better today about my form for most of the moves.

    I can relate with the pushups! I did so much better today with those and the bicycle crunches at the end. And I really dipped into those squats and static lunges. Feeling it!!
    We will be heading to Northern Michigan to camp in a state park. It is a wonderful area and we know it well. My SIL has a place up there also so we will have some great family time.

    Just finished level 1 day 4 .. the first day so far it felt easier ... I only struggle with the jumping jack / jump rope combo in the beginning .. the end i can do but not the beginning .. my muscles feel like they are full on cramping (not burning) to the point my legs want to give out... any tips?

    Sounds like you need a better warm up than Jillian provides. Maybe go for a walk first?

    @dancing--sorry about your pulled muscle--that stinks!

    Today is my 2nd rest day from 30 DS, so I will hit the gym instead. Have a great day, everyone!:flowerforyou:

    It's day four, yesterday took the day off from 30 day shred but had a lunch workout at work. I took a pic of my results so far (not of 30DS since I just started) but all my efforts and I was ecstatic. I'll upload at some point but definitely motivated even more. 30DS will end on my bday. This is the best present I can give myself.

    Let's keep it up team!

    I tried Level 1 for 7 days and got curious..... Day 8 & 9 tried Level II.... so much more intense, makes me feel like I'm actually working hard! lol Don't get me wrong, I found Level I challenging too; still can't do a REAL pushup but that is it! Enjoying the routine of 2!:wink:

    That's what i was thinking as well .. Thanks for your input! I do my exercises at night, after my daughter is asleep so i couldn't go for a walk as a warm up.. I'll have to search some alternatives.

    I only exercise when my daughter is asleep too which means I also don't want a ton of noise. I have a stability ball and will stretch out on that. It is very low impact and you can do a lot of balancing. That or maybe yoga???

    I had to start over after missing three days so today will be Day 4 for me. Level 1. I've been doing it when I get home from work every day. I really need to push myself to get up earlier and do it BEFORE work!

    I hear ya, my goal is to do it before work because that way its guaranteed done where after work there are so many other things you could be doing. Thats why people that excercise in the morining have better chances of being successful. I keep reminding myself of that but still I love my pillow so much!!
