Jillian Michaels-30 day shred- started today

I love that workout video!!! I had success with it a few years ago and am recommitting to it today! I was too tired last night but still stayed under my calorie goal. Good luck!!!

I just completed day 1 this morning. I did 20 days of the 30 Day Shred in 2012 and lost 10 pounds. We had a death in the family and I just never went back to finish the workout. But I really enjoyed it and got really good results. I didn't take any rest days last time but I am going to this time around.

I'm new to JM and to any strength training at all as I started this journey a year ago with diet, then in May started running and just 10 days ago started the 30DS. I just did 10 days of level 1 and today will move on to level 2 and see what it has to offer. I can only say that I feel strong, never knew I had arm muscles or that I could do a push up so I'm all about saying it's a workout I like so far I'd love to have a few people I'm doing it with so let's do this!!!

I only have 2 days left in the 30 DS! Yippee!!! I definitely did not work out with no breaks. Like others have said, after a rest day (or two), I was able to do the workout with better form than if I had just gone straight thru. I think it also depends on your level of fitness when you start. I had not exercised in a long time so I needed to work my way in. So far, 8lbs lost and I know I am stronger and have lost inches. I'll do final numbers after my last day.

Best of luck to you all who are starting. I will either start over or do another one of JM's DVD's. Definitely worth hanging in there and finishing it!!

I just did day 1 of level 3 last night, I found it very challenging but I really liked it. It might possibly be my favorite level. I didn't care for level 2 at all. This is my first time doing 30DS. I went 16 days with no break, then I took 2 days off, I was just burnt out I think. So far I haven't lost any weight. But here are some things that have changed. I can now do butt kicks, I can grasp my hands behind my back and lift them up when doing the cool down. I can last longer in plank positions before I have to do Anita's version. My endurance has increased tremendously, and I definitely feel less giggly!! My arms, legs, and back are noticeably stronger. I feel like my stomach has flattened out some, but I'm still having difficulty engaging my abs....there still hiding under my winter coat somewhere. I really like this program, I wish I'd see my scale go down, but for now that's not what I'm worried about. I'm seeing physical results and I have a ton more energy. I will do this again when I'm done with my 30 days. Good Luck to you! Stick with it and don't beat yourself up if you need that 5 second break

I would take breaks in there If I were you. I was super sore after day 1 and I took 2 days off. I can already tell I'm getting stronger which makes me happy. Good Luck to you!!!!d

Hi,

I have quite a few Jillian DVDs and 30 Day shred is one of my favourites. I have done it twice before now and definitely noticed results in weight loss and body definition,

My routine was quite flexible, I did each level 10 times but I did it 5 times a week having two rest days. The five days were not in a row either, so for example one week I may have done it Mon, Wed, Thurs, Sat and Sun. The next week may have been different, depended on how I felt but as long as I did it 5 times, I wasn't really fussed

Hope this helps

I've tried this befor. i was pretty inconsistent cause of school but i still finished the 30 days! you're gonna notice as you go through the program, you will get stronger, last longer or there will be days where you won't even pause and take a long breather. I lost an inch on my waist and I had a more toned arm and it was the first time i saw ab cuts on my stomach!!

ps i only lost an inch around my waist cause i'm kinda skinny(?) already. i did the workout to get toned.

I just did the 3rd day today. Tomorrow is 4th day. I'm also doing the 21 day no junk food challenge. Can't wait to see the results
