Jillian Michaels 30day shred advice

Options
Recently I've been hearing all these amazing reviews on Jillian Michaels 30day shred. I decided to give it a try so i searched it up on youtube and did level 1....but this is where my problem comes in. After the workout i honestly didn't feel that 'worked' like everyone said you'd be, i even had weights AND did the advanced version. Idk why this is...maybe because im young? or i dance a lot? idk but i have a good 30-40lbs to lose.

I'm thinking i should dance for about 60mins and then do the 30day shred for 6 days a week. I'm new to working out so any advice would be helpful. i just really want to lose at least 30lbs, but it seems so hard.

    It's a beginner program and it was TOUGH (couldn't even finish the first day) when I first started exercising about 3 years ago. For someone coming from "dancing a lot" it may not be challenging enough.

    If it isn't for you try lvl. 2-3. If it still isn't challenging then change programs entirely-don't force yourself to do the 30DS if it isn't challenging. Losing the weight will be up to your calorie deficit (through diet) first.

    If you really breezed through level one, move on up to level 2. There is quite a reasonable jump in intensity from level 1 to 2, so you should notice a difference.

    Why don't you try JM's Banish fat boost metabolism and No More Trouble Zone? I also like her 30 day slimming program which is consisted of 30 day shred, BFBM and NMTZ. I am currently in week 8 of Insanity, it is really insane and kicking my butt so hard!
