Hey...good luck on completing this...take each day as it comes...
Can you advise how i go about doing this...do u need a DVD, book, CD or something or is there a website, thank you for your help in advance 0 -
Hey! Good luck with this. Me and my fiance are on day 12 (level 2 day 2).
First thing I'll say is stick with it, it does get easier around day 3 or so and by day 10 you'll be amazed looking back at how difficult day 1 seemed. Then it's pretty much the same for level 2 - first day was a *****!
Rooting for ya!0 -
I started her 30 Day Shred today! The push-ups are hardest for me, since I have a rather large chest and no core/upper body strength. I can use my legs for days, but she really gets everything moving! Good luck to you! I am excited to incorporate her stuff into my new lifestyle!!
Always,

I'm thinking about doing the 30 day Shred. I just started her Ripped in 30 workout. I would love to be doing this workout along with someone else. Good luck to you 0

You can get the DVD on Amazon or Ebay, it's pretty cheap! I think I only paid about £5 for my copy.0 -
I did D1L1 today. I'm with ya!0

Oooh, also bare in mind that you will see a weight gain on the scale for the first week or so. This is normal, just push through it and it'll come back off again.
I read a good 30DS FAQ a while back which explained it but I can't find it now so I'll attempt a 'back of a *kitten* packet' explanation: When you start putting stress on muscles which haven't been strained for a while, you inflict micro-tears on the muscles and your body retains fluid around them to aid with the repair. So the extra weight you'll see is water weight.
Also you should really try to push through the soreness of your muscles to complete the workout every day. You'll get the best results if you don't take any rest days, or maybe just allow yourself a rest day between each level.
Go for it! 0 -
Oh thanks for posting that, I was so distressed when I saw my weight had gone up. I haven't been that good with my eating this week because I've been craving meat but I can already see a change in my body.0

I got my copy today so starting tomorrow morning. Good luck everyone!0

Go for it!
I'm so glad you posted this. I feel like I've been gaining instead of losing. I'm so happy to know that it is only water weight. Such a relief. It all makes total sense. It's amazing how the body works!!0 -
Hey guys thanks for all the input!! Good luck to those who are joining with me or have been doing it for awhile! I appreciate all the new info also... I've seen some people saying they were noticing a weight gain at first, I had heard about the water retention and read to drink more water, which sounds crazy but apparently it helps. I hope to just push through and not miss a day!!
I just finished Level 1, Day 2!!! It was difficult but I did it! I even have my boyfriend doing it with me. It's nice to have the added support at home!
I plan to start Ripped in 30 after I finish the 30DS!
GOOD LUCK everyone!!! Keep up the GREAT work!!!0 -
Me and my friend tried it killed our knees... If u think is too hard do it at your own pace and don't give up...0

L1D2, Done! A little rough today because my legs were sore..those cardio sections really made me feel the burn. Ouch!0
-
D3 L1 DONE!!! I decided to do my regular bootcamp class today so when I started to do today's 30DS I thought I was going to DIE!!! Definitely felt the burn!!!! I'm having to modify some of the workouts due to my knees cracking like rice krispies. I hope the pain goes away soon that way I can do the full range of motion. Ready for DAY 4!!!! Keep up the great work everyone!!!0

Hey! Just finished L1D1 and it was great! It really got a sweat going! I love that the moves change with each circuit. There's nothing more un-motivating and boring than repetitive moves. My last workout DVD had 1 circuit which was repeated 3 times and I dreaded it!
Im a 'Biggest Loser' fan and I really feel like Im in the 'Biggest Loser Ranch' with Jillian when I do the DVD! haha It's great.
So here are my measurements for Day 1:
Neck 13"
Bust 35"
Waist 31"
Tummy(widest part) 38.75"
Bum 39.75"
Hips(widest part) 39.29"
Thigh (R) 23"
Thigh (L) 22.25"
Calf (R) 14"
Calf (L) 14"
Arm (R) 12.25"
Arm (L) 11.5"
Weight 155.6lbs
BRING ON L1D2!!!!!!!!!0 -
Level 1 day 2 complete...... That was a tuffy!0

L1D3, Done! Keep up the awesome work everybody.0

Hi there!!! I just finished D4, L1. Whew... it was a doozy! But I am done and looking forward to D5!!! I kinda feel like I am already losing inches and possibly pounds. I am not going to weigh until Saturday. I talked my boyfriend into doing this with me and I am so excited that he has actually doing each day with me! In no time we will be swimsuit ready for our cruise!!! I just know it!
Keep up the great work everyone!!! We can do this!!!0 -

i finished L1D2 today....i dont think ive ever sweated as much as i did today.....i also did 25 min. on the elliptical before that, so i was really sweaty.....i felt amazing though....every move i make now i can feel the soreness.....but tomorrow is day 3......bring it on jillian, bring it on=)0

Great work everyone! We're all off to a good start Finished L1D2 today and it was already easier than Day 1 Im pretty used to regular exercise anyways so i wasn't that sore today which was great cos I was able to get the most out of the workout I like the fact that Im able to follow Natalie for all the moves! The only modified versions I use would be for the push ups and maybe the squatting exercises but Im pretty sure Im getting down to a 90 degree angle for those or really close anyways, so Im really happy so far!
Keep up the great work everyone! I hope to get more exercise in this evening... might even push for a big burn workout at the gym! We'll see 0 -
Level 2 Day 5 tonight. Level 2 is tough but like level 1, I can feel it getting easier as I get the days under the belt.
Switching up to Level 2 isn't nearly as tough as those first few days of Level 1 though. You guys are over the hump, good job!0 -
L1D4, Done! Felt pretty good! I don't know why, but the 1st set of cardio kills me everytime. The last set I feel like is easier and I am pushing harder.
What size weights is everyone using? I am using cans from my pantry right now. Haha. I want my arms to be slimmer, but I don't want them to be bulky.0
