    I'm starting this week. I'm quite excited about it but I know I'll find it really hard as I'm so unfit at the minute!

    I've been thinking about starting this program after I finish T25(only a few more days to go). Anyone know how it compares?

    Day 1 of Beginner Shred here. (I know, I'm a weakling.)

    I did Beginner Shred last week and it wasn't easy. We all have to start somewhere :) Beats sitting on the sofa for sure.

    I actually watched the level 1 workout without doing it the other day, because I wanted to see what I was in for. Only doing it on the days i don't go to the ice-rink, though. I'm using it as cross-training.

    Yea, I've been going to the gym for a few weeks and didn't have any classes scheduled that day, so did the Beginner Shred twice. It left me sweating and sore, so happy with that for an "off day" :)

    I want to do it! I don't have weights though. Any suggestions for something to use instead?

    Bottles of Water were the best for me. But you can use bags of sugar etc, not as easy to hold though! Good luck. :)

    I just finished day 1, level 1 this morning. I've completed the cycle once before and had really good results (lost a couple inches). I figured the beginning of the month was a good time to start. I'm excited to see what the end of April brings. If anyone wants a support buddy along the way feel free to add me.

    Do you do 30 days on level one and then start level two? And do you do it everyday?

    I am on day 6 workout 3 of the Beginner Shred. I felt like a weakling too but I knew if I started out at a higher level of difficulty I wouldn't finish. I can definitely tell a difference and will probably do the 30 Day Shred next. I have lost about 2 lbs but weight loss was not what I was after to begin with. I need to tone up big time! When I started the Beginner Shred I used 2-3lb weights I am now using 5lb weights and plan on buying 8's! If i make it through the next 4 workouts this will be the first workout program I have completed from start to finish. I'm so excited!!

    Same here...toning is important! The weight loss is a plus :)

    It's 10 days per level, but you can have break in between, doesn't have to be non stop.

    30 Day Shred will be like a Sunday morning stroll in the park compared to T25.

    If I get a workout in every day for the next 4 days it will have taken me 36 days to complete the 30 Day Beginner Shred. Sometimes circumstances just don't always let me workout everyday.

    Maybe I should pull mine out and try to do the whole 30 days. I get bored quick with the same routine but I haven't seen results in so long. I may need to just suck it up and do it.

    If you are a beginner or pretty out of shape, the 30 day shred is great.

    If you're already pretty active, it might just be a good addition to your routine or it may just be too easy for you.

    When i started my journey i had pretty damn good success with the 30 day shred, but after about day 5-6 on each level when it was SO HARD at first it became unbearably easy.

    I've heard so many great things about this workout and I own it, but I just HATE Jillian! LOL She says things like "Girlfriend" and stuff and I probably burn more calories rolling my eyes at her than I do from the workout! BAHAHA

    Made my boyfriend try it out one day and she says "Just imagine those great jeans you're going to fit into!" or "bikini!" or something like that. hahaha

    It's set up to do 10 days of each level. You can do it everyday, but I recommend every other day when you first start out. You're going to be pretty sore for 1-3 workouts.
