    I started level 2 yesterday and it would be interesting to hear on how you find level 1. My experience was that level 1 nearly killed me lol so I gave up on that and went to level 2. Level 2 was so much easier! :-S

    I love it! Im finally on level 3 and I think all 3 levels have parts that are very difficult! Now, I mix it up and do different levels on different days. But I def recommend it, I have lost 20 pounds with Jillians help :)

    I've been doing Level 1 for three days and I don't find it too bad. I'm using 5 lb weights and I find that they are too heavy but other than that it really is a great workout. It's like she says if you give it your all for 20 minutes then you will see results and I find the 20 minutes go by quick.

    I also started it today, but had some difficulty midway through by aggravating an 'almost healed' knee injury - radiating pain. Knowing my limits, I can officially say that I am unable to do any of the cardio jumping. Instead I tried to do extra sets of punches and threw in some squat jacks.

    I was still able to do bends and lunges - controlled movements are still okay. Anybody have any other cardio suggestions for me to help me keep my heart rate up without doing more harm than good to my knees? I'm tempted to jump on my excersie bike for the cardio blast portions of the video.

    I've been on a (6) week plateau because of this injury and really want to get the scale moving again.

    REALLY? I'm going to be doing Day 10 Level 1 in an hour or so. I've been waffling over even trying Level 2 as the cardio in circuit 1 of level one is killing me (jumping jacks and skippinig are the worst), the rest is fine. Maybe i should try level 2 tomorrow and see?

    I'm starting today! I'm at work at the moment (on MFP... Ooops! hehe) but when I get home I'm stopping by Wal-mart to buy hand-weights, going home, doing my measurements, and trying out Day 1! I want to have it finished before Harry Potter/Wonderland day for me, July 15th (it's going to be the best. Day. EVER!)

    I started yesterday. It was hard while I was doing it and I sweat more than I ever have although today I'm not sore at all. I expected to be from what people said so now I'm wondering if I should stick with Level 1 for 9 more days and then move onto Level 2, or just move onto Level 2 now?

    Personally, I'd do level one for a few days. I'm on Level 1 and I find it harder/easier depending on the day. If you're killing it a few days in a row then move up.

    If you do each level for 10 days....it would be 30 days. That's my plan. I'm starting level 2 today.

    Started level 2 last night after ten days at level 1. OMG some of the moves are crazy. I have been working out on the treadmill or other workouts in the morning for at least 40-60 minutes and then do the video at night. Now I am battling shin splints. just got new shoes and inserts and I am wearing compression socks. they seem to be helping. I have noticed a difference in how my clothes are fitting. It is going to take a few days to get use to the new moves. The funny thing is I had my husband, who is great shape and a runner do the video with me. he was very sweaty at the end and couldnt believe what a great workout it was. Made me feel even better about doing it.

    30 Day Shred is a 30 day program by Jillian Michaels. It uses muscle confusion which will allow you to continue to see results.

    I'm starting today too! I will doing mine when I get home in about an hour. I'm hoping I get get through the 20 minutes before my partner gets home from work, I'd hate him to see me so sweaty in a corner. I'm looking forward to it though.

    I'm starting Level 1, I watched it the other day and was very impressed on that simplicity of the workouts. Saying that I fully expect to want to curl up in a ball afterwards! I think the press ups are going to be my hardest point. I have been doing some weights over the last week to kick start my ability to do them :)

    I am on about day 17 and LOVING it. I can see huge changes in my body! It is hard, and level 2 is still thouroughly kicking my *kitten*, but it is totally worth it :)

    I am 20 days in and did Level 1 and Level 2 10 days each. I am starting Level 3 tomorrow - previewed it today and it looks HARD!!! However, I will start tomorrow and do 10 days at Level 3. When I complete the 30 days I think I will take a couple days away from it and then alternate Level 1 - 3 to keep changing up my workouts. Hope everyone enjoys!!!

    I find some Level 2 makes me sweat way more than Level 3. That being said, some of the exercises are much more difficult in Level 3 and I don't think I am doing them to the full extent.
    I completed one round of the shred already and now am doing what you plan to do but alternating the levels. I am doing 5 days at level 2 and 5 days at level 3 and keep rotating that. I throw level 1 in in the evenings here and there since it really makes my muscles burn still but does not get my heart rare up like the others.

    Good luck to everyone starting today!!

    Thanks for that. I may have to modify (as I did in Level 2) but I WILL keep at it and complete 10 days!! Thanks for the insight.
