    Keeping working at it! Take mini breaks just long enough to catch your breath then move on! Just keep at it! It'll get easier, and you'll be in pain the first few days. But it.is.so.worth.it!!!

    It does get easier, I am on day 19 (level 2). I unfortonately did not do it straight as I wanted to. But you do build endurance. My first day I was able to get through the whole thing but I was winded by 4 or 5 day of level 1 it was so much better. I hate level 2 but I hear it is the least enjoyable. Good luck, it will get better!

    I tried this for a week and still wasn't comfortable to move on past Level 1 - how did those of you who have done this stick with it? I started to get bored...I have major ADHD with working out.

    Keep at it. I'm currently on Level 2 Day 3 and I assure you that you will see yourself change and get stronger everyday. The first day I started it I could barely get through it. Then the second day was actually easier. Then the third. By day 8 I couldn't believe the difference in my stamina, strength and endurance. Stick with it!!!

    Although I must say, this level 2 has me wanting to punch Jillian Michaels in the uterus.

    i feel you on this, i just finished week 1, now that im on week 2 i find myself pausing the dvd and getting my water, you can do the same, there is no need to pass out trying to get in shape, get the remote and after 10min pause it, get your water, but be sure to march in place until you catch your breath, then begin again, before you know it you will be done with week 1.



    DONT GIVE UP GIRL YOU CAN DO THIS!

    Keep doing what u can do-I was the same was for the 1st 4-5 days of it then it got better. I was totally winded tho. Now I feel my endurance is top notch! And have done many other jillian workouts w/out issues and currently p90x. U can do it-take mini breaks and jump back in

    30 Day Shred is quite effective, but don't expect to master it on the first go-round. Stop to breathe when you need to, and then jump right back in with the video. Be consistent and challenge yourself to go a little farther today than you did yesterday. Since JM doesn't count, I had to--how many jumping jacks, how many squats--whatever, and then I made myself do a couple more than I had done before. The results are worth the effort. All the best to you!

    I promise it gets easier! just keep at it!!!
    I just got done about a week and a half ago and was very happy with my results. I took 5 days off throughout the thing but still completed 30 days! don't give up!

    You know that squat and press thing that you do in level one? well I remember I could barely do it for even HALF the time with my 2 pound weights...now I'm doing Ripped in 30 and on week one we do that and I am able to go the whole time with my 5lb weights!

    Your body will adapt and change...just like she says!

    Day 9 of level 1 for me today. (Started it before, got halfway through level 2 and had to stop due to a stupid injury.) It's hard at first but like Jillian says - stick with it and you WILL see a change in your endurance!

    It does get a bit boring after a while, but I try to challenge myself by doing the moves with heavier weights, bigger jumps on the jump ropes, starting the jumping jacks sooner, etc.

    One thing I wish is that her warm up was longer, especially going in to Level 2. I don't like that she doesn't do the knee/ankle warmups, and yet we're still jumping around! Oh well - I can always pause the DVD and do them on my own.

    I am technically on day 9 of L1 too and trust me, those first days are hard but today, when I got done, I felt like I was just warming up so I went to L2 right after to see how far I could get and I DID IT! I got through both back to back. It was a nice change of pace too. I get bored as well and enjoyed L2 more than 1 but I did call her a nasty name or two. lol Good luck and anyone feel free to add me as a friend. We could all use the support!!

    I'm on day 2 and I am already tired of her voice, so I just do it along with the music. Try omitting the weights on some of the exercises and just do the movements along with the ladies. Also try a modified jumping jack, I know she says not to but if it keeps you going and prevent injury, try it. Good luck and hopefully we both will get to day 30 feeling fitter and healthier.:tongue:

    Hello. I am new to this site and I was just given the 30 Day Shred yesterday. I will start it July 31st or August 1st. I look forward to building my endurance. I'm in horrible shape and am excited about seeing the progression that many of you have experienced.
    Good luck all!

    My husband and I have done level 1 twice now, we'll probably do it once more, but after the first time we were SO SORE. We barely made it through the whole thing. It gets easier.

    Hey everyone I'm on day 4. I've already had 4 days off -__- . It is hard but on day 2 it was kinda easier. And day 3 I barely took any rests . I slipped up and didn't do it for 2 days and today (day4) kicked my butt. But it really does get easier by day 10 it will be a breeze. Is level 2 really that bad lol ?

    Any of you can Send me a friend request for motivation !
