    I STARTED DOING THE 30DS ON SATURDAY AND PERSONALLY IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE MUCH OF A CHALLEGE TO ME. I THINK MY MUSCLES HAVE ALREADY TRAINED THEMSELVES. I'M THINKING I NEED TO COMBINE LEVEL 1 AND 2 SO I CAN PICK UP THE INTENSITY. I HAVE BEEN EXERCISING FOR THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF DOING DVD WORKOUTS AND I SEEM TO HAVE ADAPTED TO IT. HMMM ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    D5L1 I am getting ready to jump in and do it. I am wondering if I'm the only person who has to stop and breath lots of times through this workout? If I was graded on this I would have started off flunking , yesterday I did better though and would have gave myself a B...LOL. I am praying today I can do better with fewer rest. She said not to stop longer than 5 sec. So I stop and breath for 5 sec. and jump back in. I feel like such a wimp at the end with those bicycle crunches they really do a number and I haven't mastered that at all yet. But I'm going to push forward and get it done.

    D4L1 went better last night, still having some soreness especially in my quads but last night I felt like I might actually make it through the 30 days. I'll probably think that until I get to Level 2 eek!

    Woohoo, day 5 L1 done with only 15 sec. pauses (5 sec. 3x's) and I am proud of my self. Usually my right quad will bulge out I was a little worried about but today it feels like it's used to it. So hopefully the next 5 days will go smoother than the first 5. Good luck everyone let's keep going. We can do this.....

    I just started 30 Day Shred yesterday after I saw everyone's awesome results on the success stories board. Jillian really kicked my butt! If Level 1 is this tough, I'm afraid of what Level 2 will be and terrified of Level 3! Hopefully it will get easier as my body gets used to it. This is really my first stab at an exercise routine since I had my son in October 2009. Thanks for starting this thread- it gives me the motivation I need to do it again tonight!

    okay so i have been seeing a lot of stuff about the 30 day shred (aka 30DS).. is this the Jillian Michaels one?
    if so i saw on someones profile that it was 20 minutes? i looked it up and as far as i can tell it is 60 min long? which one is it?
    bc if it is 20 min i totally have time for that everyday.. not so much the 60 minutes.

    help pleaseee!!!

    there are 3 levels...each level is a little bit longer than 20 minutes, but that includes warm up and cool down. each level also consists of 3 cycles of 3 min strength, 2 min cardio, 1 min abs. I got mine in iTunes and just finished Day 7 of Level 1 and am getting a lot stronger already!

    Great job on upping the weights! I still use 3lb. I just did day 8 level one. I will be doing the full 10 days for each level. My legs feel it everytime! I naturally have really tight calf muscles, so doing the jumping jacks followed by jump rope KILLS! I usually cant do all the jumprope it hurts sooo bad. Does anyone else feel this or have any advice to how it wont be so painful? Day 9 tmrw!

    jumpropes - basically calf raises BURN!! This will sound silly but what gets me through them is thinking of myself actually jumping rope like when I was little on the playground, makes it easier to jump higher. . . instead of just doing the motions. I'm kind of a dork though!

    I did day 2 Tuesday it went allot faster and easier I push myself through stopping. I took yesterday off and let my muscles rest. but back at it today. My legs def feel it especially when I go up stairs. Sounds kind of crazy but my butt does feel different already. I have been using some moves in the pool too which feels great. Good luck all

    yay!! I haven't lost any weight since starting the shred (really ready to see the ## coming down again!) but I can tell a difference in my body. Need to do some measurements and see :)

    had to add - getting into pre-preg jeans is a big victory and I bet you are feeling GREAT!!
