30 Day Shred question? Also post your before and afters!

I did 10 days of level 1, and then 10 of 2, and then 10 of 3. I took rest days, but I still did 10 workouts for each level. I just finished on Friday and I lost 6 pounds and 15 inches.

I have started this 2 times...and never finished Level 1. I have also taken 'before' pics but no after pics. However, you WILL get results..toning and inches will be lost. The last time I started it I was going for consecutive days, previously, every other day, like 3x week. If I do it again, I will go every other as I think (for me anyway) the muscles need a day off to rest and recover. It's different for everyone. No matter how you do it tho, you will see and feel a difference....in a very good way! Depending on your current fitness level it will either be easy or hard....but just keep going and modify if you have to. Within a week you will have physical improvements! good luck!

It's every day for 30 days. Well, if you can. I missed a couple days and had to make them up.

Most people do 10 days each level. But you can move up at your own pace too. Personally, I liked 10 days each level because it pushed me to move up and I didn't get as bored.

I don't have any before/after pics but about 7-10 to days in I started noticing my biceps. When you are done (and you WILL finish this time!!), go back and do Level 1 and you will be amazed in the difference. I lost about 2" off my hips and 2" off my thighs. It definitely works if you do!

Good luck!

I do it almost every day. I take a rest day when I'm sore or tired. I started out planning to do 10 days of each level. I am debating right now whether to move on to level 3 or do a few more days at level 2. I think I will try level 3 and see how it goes. Jillian says "when you're ready, move on to the next level" so you can be as flexible as you want with it and move on/ up/down/back/forth as needed.

It will end up taking me more than 30 days to complete it because of rest days. But it's still 30 days of the work out.....it'll probably be 35-40 calendar days, because I also kept my regular work out routine and added this, rather than doing just 30ds.

Good luck....

When I'm sore, moving is the best way to alleviate it!

Honestly, Level 3 is way better than Level 2. When I was starting a lot of people were saying how Level 2 was hard but when you get to 3 it's easier and more fun. I couldn't agree more. Level 3 was my favorite. I didn't even put my own music on during that one like I did the other ones.

I agree! In the past when I've done it I didn't stick with level 2 for long. I LOVED level 3 and hated level 2.

I am on Day 2 of Level 2. I do them everyday. I did miss one day so I did it twice the next day lol.

I didn't love Level 1. The jumping around was painful on my bad knees BUT I got results in just the first week! So far I'm really liking level 2 because the plank stuff is new to me and I can really really feel it all over my body.

That's good to know! I have never approached 30 day shred as a system to complete in 30 days - I just use it for my training on the weekends because my gym is closed and I like to work out most days. It got to where level 1 was too easy, so I moved to level 2 but I haven't gotten to a point where I can make it all the way through without pausing to catch my breath, so I never moved to level 3. Maybe I should try it out! Those v raises with the chair squats KILL me everytime!

V raises were by far the most difficult for me. I did the entire 30 days with 5 lb weights except those..I had to go down to 3 because they're killer!
