30 Day Shred!

I read on another site (I think it was Pinterest perhaps) that someone did the workouts twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Is that part of the program, or just their variation of the 30 Day Shred? I will be beginning this late next month and want to make sure I'm doing it properly to maximize results.

I just finished level 1 day9. I weighed in 2 days ago (day 7) and I'd lost 1.5 kg already! I'll be having my second rest day on Friday and will weight in again before starting level 2 on Saturday!

I'm on Day 9 (but I did have a break, 5 days in a row then a break and now on 4 days in a row). I`ve never really done high impact exercise like this (previous elliptical junkie) and 30DS is killing my knee`s. What can I do to stop them from hurting so bad. I couldn't finish the last stretch of cardio today cuz my knee's were so sore. I'm not that overweight (20lbs of baby weight left) and I am seriously lackng the sleep department (2 kids under 2).

I'm on day 25.

I started as very much a beginner. I've done all levels on beginner mode for the most part. I moved from Level 2 to Level 3 because my knee hurt so much and while my knee feels better - I can't quite get through Level 3 without some modifications and small rests. I do it 6 days a week.

I have lost weight (also reducing calories) but not a single inch off my waist - which is a bummer. Any suggestions for that?

Any suggestions for other 30 minute DVD's or videos just to change things up a bit? Nothing more advanced, not yet. Goodness I'm out of shape. I can always just do this one again. Anything to get me moving around because apparently I'm in more desperate need than I thought, lol.

You may want to try Ripped in 30 because she does change things up more often than 30DS. However I really think you will like Body Revolution. It is a 12 week program but at least you don't have to think out what you're going to do next for the next 3 months, right? I just started week 5 today. I started this after finisihing a few rounds of ripped in 30 and felt that the first week was very doable and it gave you time to really work on form. It does get progressively harder, but each session builds on the previous one. What I really like about this program is that you don't do the same 30 routine for days on end. You actually never do any of the 30 minutes strength DVD'S more than 4 times each before moving on to another series of exercises. You'll do the cardio videos 8x within a 30 day phase, but that's only twice a week. Also she has 4 sets in 30 minutes vs. 3 so she changes things up quickly so the 30 minutes fly by. As I said I just finished up my first month and my old yoga pants are falling off of me now and I'm so much stronger.

Love 30DS!

I will definitely check out the Body Revolution. It looks promising.

I really wish I had a gym option. I might be more motivated to get up earlier to do the longer workouts if I did. I don't know - maybe not. My alarm goes off at 5:30am now. I am not a morning person. At all, lol.

I've lost 2.5kg all up so far. I just did day 1 level 2 and it was soooo hard!!!

I did a day 1 and day 11 photo comparison photo but don't know how to post it on here. Can anyone help?
