    They say to do each level for 10 days.

    THANK YOU!!!

    its ok ot justs do level 1 for 30days. because its called the 30day shred people often say its ment to be done 10days at each level. this is simple not true. you should move up when your ready Jillan says this on the dvd. it might be that you find level one way to easy and need to progress sooner yoou will know by your secound day.

    hope that helps


    i TOTALLY messed up my right calf and pulled a muscle =/ the rest of my body feels great but I pulled a muscle doing the front lunges! Should I work out today? I'm real worried about messing up my goal =/

    Ugh I hate lunges. They really hurt my knee. You could try starting the workout and seeing how it feels. I hurt my back partway through and took a few days off but then when I started back it made it feel much better. If you do think you hurt yourself though take a break, if it's minor you could be back to normal in 1 or 2 days but if you push it you could be out for a week.

    Dolphin: Those pictures are GORGEOUS. I take it you live in Wales? it's such a gorgeous area.

    Rose: you should get out on your skates again. Weight doesn't matter. I skate on a synchronized skating team and at our last competition I noticed a larger lady on a team and she was the most beautiful skater on the whole team. My mom even mentioned her too. It's hard but it can be done. :)

    I'm skipping my workout today. I feel like I'm fighting a cold and we were out all day and not home until 10 om and I didn't feel like exercising that late. I did get 2 new Jillian DVDs in the mail today. I can't wait to try them out.

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one trying to accomplish the workout! I am on day 23! I have worked out every day minus 4 days since I started. Like many people have mentioned, I can definitely see results in my size, but the weight hasn't really changed much for me. I did take measurements at the beginning, so I'll be excited (and nervous!) to see what may have changed within this time period. Good luck to those of you just starting! You can do it!!!

    so today was my last day of workout 2, the only one I've been able to get through without taking a few breaks. moving onto level three on friday, I'm excited and scared.

    I actually went to a physical therapist on monday night because I've been having knee problems, figured I must have done something wrong during my workout, thankfully no. found out I have a tilted patella so I need to wear a knee brace. yay no more pain :D

    Look after that knee and good luck with Level 3.

    I did Level 2 again with Level 3 abs and cardio. So a hybrid of the 2 levels. I just find Level 3 too hard on my joints with all the jumping.

    With all the shredding and such I feel like I've had a huge confidence boost. It's amazing what a little looking after yourself will do for self exteem.

    Day 17, Day 3 Level 3 completed. Still struggling through which I'm sure has something to do with my 9 day layoff, but I'm getting there. Hope everyone is doing well.

    I am so glad to see so many people like this workout. I have the DVD, but have not been faithful about doing it, at all. I will plan on starting next week (I have some mental block about starting somthing on Thursday!). I have to get up early in the morning to do it, so I've got to get my mind right. I WILL DO IT.

    Good luck with the workout JGSims.
    I can't workout in the morning, my back hates me if I push it early in the day.

    So hubs took the day off so we took a "road trip" to Niagara Falls with the little guy and yes I brought my Jillian DVDs. However, I didn't bring weights so I did the 6 week 6-pack. I like the 30 day shred better I think. I think it's like a comfy pair of slippers right now and I LOVE how much I sweat doing the shred. Anyway I had a TERRIBLE dinner and now I'm feeling icky, that combined with the cold I'm fighting but I feel better for working out while overlooking the falls! What better setting really.

    No Shred for me today. Decided on trying out an elliptical at my neighbors house. Did 22 minutes. Owwwwwwwww! Don't know how much more Shred I am going to do. I am almost getting bored with it. I need to keep changing. I am thinking about rotating through a few different workouts....and also contemplating Insanity (although I am really afraid of putting on muscle mass weight). We'll see.

    i skipped my shred yesterday. I'm hoping to get a shred in this afternoon and then try out the Banish Fat DVD this evening. It's a gorgeous day out today though so I should go for a walk but I feel like being lazy

    I started the 30 day shred on Friday (or as I keep accidentally saying, 30 second shred - wishful thinking!) so today I'm on L1 D4. I'm really enjoying it, it's not as hard as I thought it would be - I've never done an exercise DVD like this so I didn't know what to expect. I'm going swimming tonight so think the shred will have to resume tomorrow, my plan is to make sure I do the shred or some intensive cardio every day. I've only got a few pounds left til my target, so I'm hoping that the 30DS will help me to tone up and make those last few pounds a little easier :)

    Good luck with those lasat few pounds Stacey.
    SassyGirl keep with it. The first day is the worst I think. I was so sore but I just pushed through and felt awesome afterwards.

    I really like the Shred. I did day 24 today. I've been taking a few days off here and there so my 30 days is taking awhile. :) I did measurements today though and I've lost a lot around my waist. I actually have a waist again. I'm going to be so excited to have my measurements done for my skating dress for next season! :)

    Today is day 5 of level 1 for me. Sounds like everyone is already on L2 and L3! I have to say, Jillian is kicking my butt!

    Hey guys, wanted to check in with you guys. I'm not abandoning you, just changing my exercise routine. I was kinda getting bored of Jillian, and if I get bored, I won;t work out. Jillian kicked my butt in a good way. But I am moving on to Insanity. She actually prepped me pretty good. I did the Fitness Test yesterday and the first video tonight. Damn!!! Good workout. Keep up the awesome work guys!!!

    I just started it today...I can do the cardo not a problem...the push ups and strength kill me...I just recently was able to do a push up (the girl kind) so now that it is in this video maybe I will be able to do them better and more...I did maybe a little less then half that of what she wanted us to do. It killed me.

    Mike - good luck with the insanity workout.

    And believe me the push ups get easier. I went from being able to do none to 10 or more in a row and I swear I can see the difference in my shoulders. They look pretty good if I do say so myself. So keep up with them. you can do them.
