    If you get tired of Jillian's voice...crank up your own tunes!! I finished the 10 days of Level 1 and am now on Day 3 of Level 2 and since I am on a new level she isn't annoying me to bad! LOL
    But at about day 5 on level one I couldn't stand her voice and had to blast my own music to get through the rest of the 10 days on that level!

    Today was day 2 for me....I'm gonna stick with it and you should too. I'm working with 3 lb weights and they are pretty easy when I first start but seem extra heavy in the end.

    Today was day 10 for me... I love it... stick with it... if you can't do every single rep at first, don't worry just keep at it and after a few days you'll notice your endurance getting better... don't give up!!

    Day 21 for me, 26.75 inches gone. It is totally worth it. TOTALLY. Stick with it, it's absolutely worth it.

    I also use 3lb weights.

    And for sound and stuff, I actually unplug the audio cables from my tv, and plug in the audio cables for the ps2, that way I have the shred playing through my DVD player, and showing on my tv, but I have my music playing over the ps2, so I get the soundtrack of Rise Against, paired with the *kitten* kicking of Jillian Michaels!

    Thanks everyone!! I'm going to take my before pictures either tonight or tomorrow morning and post them with what I hope to be amazing after shots in 30 days!! I'm also thinking that I may stop and pick up 3lb weigths on my way home from work tomorrow, I'm a little scared!!

    I made it to D6L3 and then I just could not bear the sound of her voice. The results are amazing and the definition in my arms is awesome and I could not even use the weights the whole time! I should start over to lose these last 10lbs. but maybe I will alternate between her and someone else. Good Luck!:flowerforyou:

    I plan on doing 30DS in July. So I gather you spend 10 days on each level? Unless you die first trying to get through Level 1 that is! :wink: I do have 5 lbs weights..should I go lighter than that?

    i found myself stretching my quads more than she does in the video. after my first few days of level 1, my quads were so sore! i stretch twice as long now.

    I completed DAY 2 of the 30DS shred (Level 1) and I love the workout. I'm using 5 lbs hand weights and I feel every burn. This is a good weight for me because I lift weights when I go to the body pump class at 24 hour fitness and also during the Zumba Sculpt and Tone DVD! But you have to work with a weight that's comfortable for you. The most important part, is that you're using the correct form! I'm excited about the 30DS. You are guaranteed to be sweating after those 20-25 minutes! Good Luck :happy:
