I had this DVD for MONTHS!!! I used it a few times last year and let it collect dust... Took out the other day and did Level 1, 2 and 3 back to back.. OMG it was tough but good!!!! I am going to get some weights and do this dvd everyday!!! In addition to my gym routine.

Has anyone of you guys tried it and what were your results???

Thanks

    I did level 1 for 10 days and lost 5 inches

    Just finished level 2 for 10 days and lost another 5 inches......

    Did not lose any weight!!! Have stayed the same on the scales!!!

    I completed it back in November. I didn't lose any weight but lost quite a few inches. (Those inches are back now- ugh!) I'm thinking of either starting this or her Ripped in 30 DVD again.... Good luck to you all!!

    I'm doing the 30 day Shred with a friend I'm into Day 15 I believe and on L2 I did 10 days L1 and plan to 10 days 2 and 10 for L3 I've been havng loss's every week and definatly felt like I got a workout in! Been sore off and on! Can't believe you can do 1-3 that's amazing! She says if you don't want to hone it out in the gym give her 20 minutes of all you got! Don't over do it now! :smile: I've noticed my pants fitting looser and I need new holes in my belt now! I've gotten 2 complements so it must be doing something!

    I always find it really hard to find the time to exercise, my weeks are so jam packed at the moment! So I've just ordered this DVD as I've read it only takes 20 mins a day yet shows amazing results?!?!

    Sounds too good to be true, but I'll give it a good go!!!

    Got up early this morning and did my first day of the 30 day shred. OMG she's tough! My legs are like jelly and when I had a shower afterwards my arms were aching washing my hair!!!! I am definitely going to keep this up!!!! It's not too bad getting up 30 mins earlier before work, it's over with then and I feel awake and motivated for the day ahead.

    The only problem is I have a holiday smack bang in the middle of my 30 days...........hmmmmmm.....maybe I can memorise the routine by then and time myself haha.

    SNAP!! I think i've lost inches (although kicking myself now coz i never took any measurements before starting out) however, i posted on here not long ago that i KNOW i've lost weight as my clothes are baggy, i've had people telling me how slim i'm looking BUT THE SCALE HAS STAYED THE SAME!! This, however, set me on a course of non-motivation but i'm determined to start again.

    I have been trying unsuccessfully to get up in the morning to work out before i leave for work. Trouble is i LOVE my sleep and I have to leave for work at 6.45. So, in order to have enough time i need to really get up at 5am :-( that's so hard!! especially as I don't get through the door until 7pm in the evening (i work in London, live in the countryside so it's a big commute). I SOOOOOO WANT TO THOUGH!!! The only way i think i'm going to be able to do it is if i go to bed earlier, say 9.30 max......OMG!!!!
    Right, next time i see a post about 30DS I will be saying "yeah I do this every day, before work" I will do it!!!! :-)

    and good luck with everyone elses 30DS journey... Jillian Michael is THE BEST! !

    I've just ordered this DVD, i can't wait for it to arrive so I can get started. I go in holiday in approx 33 days days, so would be sweet if could finish it just before I go.
    Can anyone tell me how realistic it is to stick to it for 30 days. I already workout quite a lot in a week, doing various classes and lots of cardio and strength training at the gym, so i'm hoping i'll have the energy to fit this in for 20 mins a day.

    Dukeydukey, I think it's quite realistic, especially as you say you do a lot of other stuff too!

    I've done 15 days now, with 2 rest days (on saturdays) and I'd never done anything quite so intensive before. I actually go to bed looking forward to shredding in the morning! (except this morning, where I'm trying to motivate myself somewhat!). I do think just listen to your body is good advice, regarding doing it every day and when to move up a level etc. Some people haven't done each level for 10 days before moving up as they've felt bored, or found it easy. I was ready to move up after 10 days to level 2, not sure I'll be ready in another 5 days to go to level 3, but that's just me.

    I agree, it's really manageable and easy to fit into a daily routine, especially if you don't have to get up TOO early for work, I don't need to leave the house until 8am, so I get up about 6.30, do the 30DS, and then I still have time for a shower and breakfast etc before leaving for work, and I love the feeling of knowing my exercise is out of the way!!!

    If you do a lot of other things, depending how fit you are, this might make you struggle on other things, I'm only on day 2 and my legs ache soooooooo much! I'm walking like an idiot!!! But the only other exercise I do is the odd run, and horse riding on Tuesday evenings.

    It is really good though, I can certainly feel it working anyway! Ouch!!!!

    One problem I am finding, because I have bad knees, is that one of my knees is really sore today, there are a lot of lunges etc in the DVD, so it's putting strain on my knees, but I'm hoping the more I do it, the stronger they'll get!!

    Good luck! x

    I lost 2lb in the first couple of days of doing this, but have put them back on?! But I've been really good food wise, and kept under my calorie goal everyday, and I've been doing 30 day shred every morning, as well as going for long walks, horse riding etc.....could it just be muscle gain??????????

    When I went riding last night my jodphurs didn't feel as tight!!!!!!!!

    Iv done 4 days of shredding and im loving it. level 1 is starting to feel a lot easier to do now so hopefully should be ready for level 2 in no time.

    iv also had compliments already after such a short time! its great!!

    But what happens after the 30 days? do you move onto something else? will the inches come back on? because i know fast changes are not always good. so i dont want my 30 days to be up, and i have a little break and im back to square one.

    I've read people have just started again, or kept up level 3 everyday.

    I think I'll start over again in 30 days. I also want to get Jillian's "Banish Fat Boost Metabilism" DVD, it has longer workouts...something to do at a weekend when I have more time.

    I'm on day 8 now, and level one is definitely getting easier (although I still sweat like crazy doing it!!!) so I'll start level 2 on Saturday :)

    How many days in are you?

    I think the fat must be going but it's being replaced by muscle, which weighs heavier than fat, so that's why we're not seeing any change on the scales.

    I've ordered a new set of bathroom scales today that measures your BMI and muscle/fat ratio! (HOW I DON'T KNOW!!!!) so will be interesting to see if that changes!

    I'm doing the Shred too. On level 1, day 9. Will finish up with level 1 tomorrow. Yeah! I may have to skip Friday due to time constraints, but will be on level 2 on Saturday for sure. I made it this far once before so I am aware of the level 2 work out. Level 3 is what I am scared of. LOL! :) Good luck to all. Add me as a friend if needed.

    I'm on day 2.. oh my god... I can't walk. But I'm already seeing effects. Its a really powerful workout.

    I keep laughing at myself because I am afraid not to work harder. Work smarter not harder right? That 27 minutes of shred is making more changes that all the other workouts I do. Why do I keep doing all of them? I wear a hrm so I can see that it burns more calories.

    Guys, I did 30 days. I lost a couple of pounds but my body got tight. Holy crap. I lost my bra bulge, my muffin top, I got arm muscles, I went from a size 8 to a size 6 -4. My back looks amazing, and my butt is tight. All for like 25 minutes a day. Don't give up. I am doing the ripped in 30 now with banish the fat and no more trouble zones DVDs to mix it up. Fun stuff.

    Only problem my knee are sore never had the problem before. But oh well. I watch my position in squats and lunges and jumps more carefully but I think Im just getting older.

    Oh that's really encouraging :) I think my muffin tops are getting smaller too!!! It really is a great workout...just shows what you can do in such a short time if you have someone who knows there stuff! And Jillian certainly does :)

    Sauza....out of curiosity approx how many calories do you burn in a 30 day shred workout?? Interested to know, as I have no idea!

    Hey All,

    Firstly, well done to everyone! You've got some really inspirational posts going here!!

    I'm just a little bit worried about this DVD as I've read some reviews of it and a number of people complain about knee and joint pain. I'm hypermobile and my knee caps dislocate. Is this workout really high impact? I don't run because of my knees but I NEED to do something besides walking to and from work...

    Other quick question: is it going to be the end of the world if I don't do it consistently every day?

    Thanks!!

    Re your knees....I have fairly bad knees, they creak and click and I get joint pain in them from time to time, but they're not mega bad...but the first 2-3 days of doing 30 Day Shred my knees did play up yes! But they seem to have gotten used to it now and I have no pain at all. There are a lot of lunges in level one.....I haven't gotten to level two/three yet so don't know what moves are in those levels.

    Re doing it everyday....no it's not the end of the world, but I think doing it at least 5 times a week would be good, as its such a short workout, I think doing it any less would probably not show any major results.
