Okay I have read a few posts about the dvd and then decided to buy it on Amazon.

It is here today and want to get started - any advice? Do people to it 10 days per level? Or just on an individual how much it hurts kind of level??

Thanks for your input, Amy :tongue:

    If you get Netflix you can get it there too, without buying it.

    Most do 10 day each section. Have fun!
    I am on my way to buy it. I did a 7min test run from u tube. OMG I am totally in.:drinker:

    As Jillian says in the video, stay with each level until you are ready to move on. For a true 30 day shred, it's designed for 10 days each level.

    I started for real yesterday and will be doing them for 10 days with one rest day per week except for out of town trips like camping. Add me if you want a support buddy for it. Good luck!!

    I just ordered mine for $6 on Walmart.com now just have to wait for it to come in...I watched some clips from it on youtube to get a sort of idea of the kinda of workout it is and I feel like it is gonna be difficult but probably just as difficult as my Biggest Loser workout for the Wii...I am excited to start this!!!!

    I started 4 days ago. Im doing 10 days each level with (hopefully) no breaks. Im using 3lb weights for the first 5 days of each level and 5lb weights for the second 5. From past attempts im always REALLY sore day 2 and 3 of each level but its best to work through it otherwise your kind of back to square one in the hurtiness factor (in my experience anyway!)

    Good luck xx

    Congratulations on taking this step!

    I love the 30-day-shred (levels 1 and 2 - I have not attempted level 3 yet)!

    In my opinion, how long you stay at a level depends on your own personal level of fitness and your cardiovascular endurance. I would say that if you have been mostly sedentary up until now, to even just do it every other day when you are first starting out as your muscles and joints may require the recovery time. You stay at a level until you feel comfortable moving onto the next level.

    Good luck to you!

    I started doing the Shred about two years ago. I'm not doing it currently, but it's a good video.

    How quickly you move up is going to depend on you. If you feel ready sooner, give the next level a try. After 10 days, give it a try even if you don't feel ready. Sometimes it's easy to not move forward because we think we can't do it. It's OK to take longer than that too. Just as long as you're feeling good and reaching your full potential!

    Once you've conquered The Shred, you might be interested in Jillian's No More Trouble Spots video. That one is great!

    I completed it a few weeks ago, I did it every day - 10 days each level and used 5 lb. weights. You will get great results. I am now on her Ripped in 30 DVD and love that one too. She works you hard but it is definitely worth all the work in the end.

    Good luck!

    Thank you all for your feedback, that's great. Add me if you are doing it too and we can be in pain together haha! I have some weights somewhere in the garage I will go and have a look.

    The DVD was only about £5 so cheap really.

    Thanks - think I will get it on and give it a go!

    That's exactly what you have to do, one of my favourite things to say to myself! You will feel better for doing it :)
