    I did day 5 of level 1. I have started and stopped several times but I'm determined to make it through this time.

    The only really hard exercise I did to get those results was 30day shred, I decided that I liked it so much I started squat challenge.

    Now I'm working on my arms, legs and thinking of doing 30day shred again before my holiday to get rid of the last 20-30lbs. So if there's a group I'm very keen to do some more 30day shred!!!

    So my goal starting out is to aim for the 30 days straight. But i have a feeling it might end up being 5-6 days a week.

    Is 30 day shred really a month long post I read said to take rest days would that be 1 day a week or 1 day a month or varies depending on the person ?

    I will be starting a hybrid today already did 30ds today thinking abt adding ri30 or Zumba also my goal is to do 30 day shred take a rest after each level so days 11,22&32 I allowed myself a cheat meal 1x a week Sundays but I will probably cut that out

    from what i understand the 30ds is dont 30 days straight, but you dont have to do so to see the results, some people do 5x's a week, some do 10days of each level with a day off inbetween each level. i think its alot of personal preferance......But i could be wrong... Lol i am definitely NOT the expert! :happy:

    hey! I'll do it with you too! Start tomorrow bright and early. I did it a few months ago and really saw awesome results, the scale didn't move much but I became way more toned and lost inches, so I got smaller and looked way better.I think you should do it 6x a week. take one day off. Alight! I was thinking of starting tomorrow anyways. great!

    I wish there was a "like" button in the the message board, i am so super excited to have so many people who will be doing this with me. and honestly it makes me feel less of a failure to know that so many others have failed to complete it...(is that horrible to say?) BUT this time we WILL do and we will do it together! yay! lol

    It's tricky, because it's so hard to fit it in every day, but when I did take a day off I found it so much harder to complete the next day. Can't win lol!

    just did the math, 30min is roughly 2% out of the day... thats really not alot for us to get the results we want right? i like looking at it that way!

    For logging, my fiancee added a custom entry. With her heart-rate monitor, it shows she burns around 100 calories every 10 minutes. So each workout is around 300 calories.

    Results may vary but if you don't have a heartrate monitor, you can use that as an estimate. I've seen many other people say it was around 250 for them.

    I'm in for this... Started last year and powered through level 1, but can't remember why I gave up half way through level 2. Now I'm just close to completing the "50 miles in January" running challenge and feeling motivated!! Want to stick with my running (I'm doing C210K, aiming for a 10k race at the end of March), but will do the Shred on my non-running days. Good luck ladies and thanks for the inspiration!

    I've been doing it for a few days now with walking/hiking in between days and a couple rest days (bad knee). I already see bit of a notice with that plus eating healthier. It's hard but it's fast so feels good to get it done with so quickly and still get a good workout haha

    Hi! I bought the DVD a few months back and that's as far as I've got lol I really want to do it but am worried a bit as when I was pregnant with my middle son my stomach muscles separated and I don't want to cause more damage. I do mixed martial arts and this is helping, but does anyone else have experience of this?

    I finished it last Thursday. I started Ripped in 30 last night :) It's totally worth finishing. I have lost 8 lbs and almost 7 inches!

    I started day 1 yesterday, did day 2 today. I plan to do 3 days on, one off. That last strength exercise where you lunge to the side and lift the weights up to eye level almost kills me! The rest I find doable!
