I plan on getting the video off of Netflix. There's not much infor provided on the website. Do I need any equipment? Does anyone know how much weight you lose/how many calories you burn over the entire program (I know that's all subjective and relative)? Do you do it everyday, and if so how long? Is there any thing I should know going into it that someone who's done it before can tell me? I just don't really know what to expect.

    I just finished it. You just need 2 weights to do the program...they recommend either a 3lb weight or a 5lb weight. Most people recommend on here to log it as Circuit Training for 20-25 minutes...I've been logging it as aerobics, general...the time works out to the same calories burned. I want to get an HRM so I know exactly how many calories I've been burning. I'm going to start the program again today, and just alternate levels each day. You are supposed to do Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for 10 days and Level 3 for 10 days, or just move up a level whenever you feel comfortable with the level you are on and are ready for the next challenge. It is a tough workout...but so worth it!

    Hmmm...let's see if I can try and answer your questions :smile: Definitely no expert but I did do the 30DS during last summer. Equipment wise, I do believe it's some handweights and then a mat if you are doing it on a hard surface. There's a lot of cardio but ab stuff thrown in too so you'll be on the floor some. Weight wise- I love 6 lbs the month I did it and burned around 200 calories doing it. 20 minutes, every day. It's quick,keeps you moving and you can move through the 'levels' (there's 3 total) at your own pace which is nice.

    Equipment wise all you need is hand weights and a mat (i just use my carpet in the living room). Calories vary. I would say the best thing to do is buy the Heart Rate Monitor to track them. As said before, 3 levels, 10 days a level.

    Just need 2 hand weights. It's a good workout, very short but hard. You do 10 days on each level (but move up to the next level if the level you are on becomes to easy, or stay on the level if it is still too difficult) It doesn't matter if you do it every day, depends on your body. You may like to work out 5 times a week with rest days, just be sure to stick to the levels until you are ready for the next. I lose more inches than pounds when I did it, I am planning on doing it again, but I also just bought her new dvd, supposed to be better than the 30 day shred and longer workouts with 4 levels... so we'll see if I do the shred again or just go right into this.
