    Mine came in the mail yesterday. I think I'll start it today (I'm the impatient sort) but that's probably good as I know I'll end up skipping some days after a particularly brutal day at work.

    I only have 6 and 8 # weights though! I'm gathering from the comments that I need lighter weights.. grrrr.

    I would definitely recommend getting some smaller weights!

    Last time I did this, I started with the bigger size soup cans. Not sure how much they weigh, but that was more than enough!

    I am in! The hardest part for me has been finding time to exercise.

    Count me in too! I was going to do it every day in May, but I didn't like the idea of getting up and doing it before work. Now that we are on summer vacation, I am going to be doing this in the morning, in addition to my regular workouts.

    I'll either start tomorrow or Sunday. I need to get a mat tomorrow first though (since I can only do girly push ups for now! LOL!)

    Can someone explain to me whether or not it is a different workout everyday for 30 days or is it just three LEVELS of workout done at 10-day intervals? Or is it neither of these?

    I actually started mine last night so if its ok i'll join too? no point starting another thread wth a couple of days difference!

    this will be the second time i've started it, the first time i never got to stage 2 >.< i'm in it for the long run this time though :)

    msladonnalee it goes like this...

    3 different work outs

    stage 1
    stage 2
    stage 3


    they all have 3 mins of strength 2 mins cardio and then 1 min abs

    you do each one for 10 days

    they're brutal

    I was planning to start on 5/29 too, so I'm definitely in! I'm pretty nervous about it, but I walk regularly and lift weights 2x/week, so hopefully I'm fit enough to handle the Shred!

    The ten day thing is a "by the tenth day" you go up to the next level--to keep challenging you!
    Each workout burns calories and is effective, but if level one is too easy after a few days, move on up a little early! It is a personal preference and only you can judge when you are ready to move on to the next level.
    Each level gets progressively more difficult.

    (I was dying after a few days on level one, but yesterday I felt ready to move onto level 2 early. I am on day 4.)

    I'm in! I have done 3 rounds of 30DS, but only on level 1... it took me that long to be able to do the pushups! I'm ready for Round 4! Let's go ladies! :-)

    I would love to do it, i bought the dvd about a year ago, keep trying to do it but i find it so repetative just can't get into it :-( Plus she looks amazing i find it quite off putting!! I think she needs to be more like she is in the Biggest Looser, more attitude, perhaps shout at me a bit through the TV!!

    anyone can join and this group is more of a motivation group to help each other along these 30 days also because I myself is new to 30 DS and to post helpful hints, tips, and to rant or rave about that day

    So... HOLY CRAP! For the 2nd day, I tried doing this 30DS. WTF? Is she trying to kill us?!? :laugh: I made it a whole 8 minutes! (In my own defense, my thighs were already a little sore from running 3.68 miles yesterday, so those squats were KILLING me!) I have NO upper body strength, so I'm doing "wall" push ups. :blushing: I'm thinking this is going to be a LOOOONNNNGGGG 30 (*#&(&*$#^ DAYS!

    I am in. I will order the DVD today. But I need to know what the plan is. Does the DVD include all 3 levels? Do I need any extra equipment?

    You need hands weights and a yoga mat (if you have hard floors). Don't try to use a towel (I tried and was slipping all over the floor). If you have carpet, you may not need the mat.

    I just bought it today, too! And I definitely need the accountability to keep my commitment level up. I am healing a tibial stress fracture, so I am going to do the best I can and adapt when needed.
