Is 30 day shred worth it?

I've had the 30 day shred for months but never actually done it. I'm going on holiday in just under 30 days (yikes!) so was thinking about doing this for a last minute push to lose some of those extra lbs. I've heard mixed reviews so just wondering what people's opinions are?
Thanks!

    I am a huge fan of 30 day shred. I didn't love it at first and I gave up 5 minutes into it more times than I'd care to admit. My mind wasn't strong enough then to tell myself I could do it. Nowadays, I am able to do the full level 1 without stopping. I haven't lost any pounds yet (today is day 21) but I've lost a considerable amount of inches off my stomach plus my thigh and arm muscles are much stronger. I take a lot of progress pictures and I see a noticeable difference since starting the program. Good luck and remember mind over matter!!

    Wow that's amazing, I think I'll definitely give it a go starting tonight! I'm not so bothered about the pounds, it's the inches! I think that's what I need to remember, mind over matter! Thank you!

    So worth it! Your clothes will fit so differently at the end of it, I have lost 10 lbs doing it but I have also watched my diet. It's tough, really tough, I have a love hate relationship with it! I have never once regretted getting up and doing the workout and you will be so glad when its done.

    Go for it! I lost inches all over and it made me feel great. Just remember to pair it with a good diet. :)

    Brilliant! I've got clothes for my holiday that don't quite fit comfortably yet so hopefully by the time it comes round they will, as long as I keep thinking about the end result, not the pain! Thank you

    I love the that program! I have done it twice, both times seeing many results, I was impressed with the strength that I gained as well. I was just thinking about starting the program again with my T25. Good Luck!

    I agree with previous posts....definitely worth doing. Inches and/or pounds. You will not regret doing it!! Good luck :-) I finished 30 Day Shred and just started Ripped in 30! 10lbs down and inches too....

    YES! I noticed a serious change in my body, shape, strength and stamina before I got to day 10. And for the first few days I could barely even do it. I was amazed by the results.

    I have the 30 day shred but can not get past day 5! I do see a difference in the 5 days, but for whatever reason, my motivation goes out the window! :/ help.

    Totally a great workout if you push yourself and actually do it 30 days in a row. Even if you don't have any energy or motivation, stick in the DVD and just do it. Some days I'm in no mood and don't push myself to make it harder, and some days I go crazy and do the extreme versions of every move. Point is, if you do it every day, you'll see some sort of results.

    Today was day 16 (day 6 of level 2) and I can already see a noticeable difference in my midsection and thighs. Good luck! I'm going to shoot you a friend request because I'm in this really awesome group for the 30DS I wan't to invite you to.

    I would also like to know this.

    Straight through?

    Rest days?

    Ok, ok, I'll be "That Girl."

    I've tried it. Three times. The first time I was trying to do it 6 days a week, with one to rest. And wound up hurting myself because my muscles weren't used to that sort of strain.

    The second time I was doing it every other day. And wound up hurting myself. (Though that one was my own fault - turns out I have the worst running form ever, even when I'm just jumping around in place.)

    But aside from all that, I was getting stronger and seeing results! My advice is to take it easy, don't try to rush into it every day if you're too tired for good form, and listen to your body. Injuries suck, and if you're not used to this sort of thing there's a real chance for one.

    ETA: I'm doing it again now that my leg healed, but not as a 30-day program - just as something to do when I can't get outside or go to my karate class.
