Jillian's 30 Day Shred

Just started, it's my third night tonight. It is quite the challenge. Good luck! I'm down 2 inches on my thighs just from all the weight training involving the legs and then lost 2 pounds in 3 days It's a great workout, even though you want to bite her head off lol

last time I did it, I gained 4 pounds over the month, and lost like 1 inch or something. It was really depressing. I am doing it tonight, but I am not going to do it for the next 30 days, I am just going to mix it into my week....

you're supposed to do it for 30 days straight without a break & by day 5 you'll see a difference in inches, so make sure you take your measurements ) i'm working my way through it & it's going to be more like a month & a half for me because i haven't been completely consistent- level 2 is harder than level 1, but i'm loving the results. some days i yell & swear at jillian, but by the end of the 20 minutes, i love her again. i'm sure you'll enjoy it! if you're not working out on carpet, you'll need a yoga mat & 3-5lb weights. i use 3lb ones, but i have like no arm muscles baha good luck!

I am trying it but not everyday because I do other things. It is good, if you like to workout with DVDs, which I admit is not my thing, so I am pushing myself.

I can't do all the jumping and knee bending that is part of the workout, so I think that in my case it will be a 90Day Shred (for each level :ohwell: ). But I read many posts with praises about the workout and many people use it as a preparation for more intense workouts such as P90X.

I think that you will do just fine, just stick to it and don't try to go to the next level until you feel that you have done well with the previous one. Good luck!

Started on the 1st! Done it three days in a row and I think it just depends on your fitness level...her last ab exercise on level one KILLS me lolz! But yes I think you will find a challenge in there for you...even the chicks in the video with the tight abs are sweating Good luck! And anyone doing the March 30 Day Shred (or even if you're not!) feel free to friend me!

I just bought this today. I was told that it's not for guys, but then someone else said it definitely is. So we'll see how it goes.

I am waiting for my copy...Should be here tmr.

Hi, I just finished my 30th day of shredding. I lost 12 pounds, 3 inches from my waist, 3 inches from my hips, 2 inches from my thighs, and an inch from arms. I can also feel such a huge difference in my endurance! I did it everyday for thirty days with no other exercise and staying within my calories ofcourse. I love this dvd, I think it's well worth it. I'm going to start round two of the shred, this time following Natalie,the more advanced moves.

For those of you who have done this---how is it on your knees? I have major issues with my knees due to all the sports I played that tore up my knees---7 total surgeries. I have issues with lunges and my knees popping out of place. Is this horrible on knees?

I just finished Day 24 (Day 4 of Level 3) of 30 DS and I must say it's been worth it. I haven't missed a day even if I had to get it in late at night... the results really made me somewhat addicted to wanting to workout every day doing the 30 Day Shred.:blushing: Jillian Michaels kicks butt but she makes you want to fight for it. I didn't take my measurements the 1st day but I did take my measurements on Day 5 and then again on Day 24. I know I'd dropped 3-4 pounds and a few inches the 1st week and a total of 10 pounds by Day 24. Between Day 5 and Day 24 I had lost 2 inches around my waist, 1 inch off my hips, 1 inch off of my arms and 1 inch off my chest... 6 inches:happy: My arms are definitely toned and my thighs are much tighter and toned as well. I encourage anyone who wants a jump start to getting pumped about working out to take the challenge and try to do it for 30 days straight if possible ... I'm 43 years old and I must say I haven't seen this type of definition on my body in years. I started MFP on Feb 1st and lost 15 pounds by March 3rd ...that's 30 Days! ...and I must give credit to Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred for making it possible. Yes it can be done... STAY FOCUSED and GO FOR IT!

P.S. Don't forget to eat right while you're on this journey ...it makes it so much easier to make it happen.

Good Luck:flowerforyou:

I couldn't do it all 30 days in a row, during level 1, I must not have stretched right and I had hurt my knee:blushing: , so I had to take a break and do other things, but either way, its still a good workout and saw better results with this then anything I have tried in the past. Just make sure you stretch out really good....

Level 1 is TERRIBLE on your knees. I don't have bad knees, and it makes them ache! Too many stupid jumping jacks!

Level 2 and 3 were much better on my knees.
