    Jennyisbusy, I've done it before but only for a few days (lol). I am to do all three levels in 30 days this time around. I read someone's blog online that said the first 10 days is TOO easy, the second set of 10 days is just right, and the third set is TOO HARD - and she's an in-shape woman, AHHH. So, we'll see how it goes.

    :embarassed: seriously, someone said the first 10 days were too easy???? i did all 30 days and went back to do level one again several weeks later... jillian STILL made me sweat and made my muscles shake. easy? nope. doable, for sure! :-)

    best of luck shredders!

    therealkittymao- to log it, some people just use the circuit training that's already there... i made my own exercise for each level and logged it as Jillian's 30 Day Shred- Level 1 (or 2 or 3).
  • I'll be doing 30DS this month as well! A bit nervous... I already have sore thighs from doing squats at the gym. But hopefully the DVD will help me bust through this plateau.

    I started it today! Great workout! Anybody know how to categorize it for the exercise entry? MVP said I burned 182 calories as general aerobics in 20 minutes, which is great. I still need to exercise more to meet my calorie burn goal though. Is general aerobics the right category?

    I started today too!! I have did it in the past but stopped arouund day 12. I did already start seeing results tho!! I did measurments and weighed myself! I am officially on a mission to complete all 30 days in a row. If I leave town for a day or two then I will just add it onto the end. But I WILL COMPLETE IT THIS TIME!!

    ANYONE WHO NEEDS A FRIEND FOR THIS 30 DAY SHRED CHALLENGE.,. .. FRIEND ME!!

    For those that dont want to buy the DVD right away, I am doing mine on On Demand under Evercise TV. I have Verizon, but a friend of mine has it on Comcast Cable also. The only problem is that it is only Level 1, but I just didnt want it to stop me from starting today.

    I just did the first day, and then found this topic when I came to read more about what folks had to say. I didn't find Day 1 too bad, but maybe that's because I was a weenie and didn't use weights this time. I'll use them tomorrow, but I wanted to try it first just following along.

    I'll be happy to check in here from time to time, but realistically it will probably be closer to 40 day shred for me...

    I usually burn with my HRM telling me 190 but everyone is different. I used to burn 220 with level 1 but maybe since I am in more shape this time, i loose less? Level 2 I burn more but exactly sure how much more since I haven't done it in awihle.

    If anyone of you have comcast level 1 is on demand under the excercise TV sectiono.
  • Day 1 down. Great job everybody. Jillian kicked my butt, it was all good though.

    Log it as circuit training.

    Or if you have a HRM you can add it in yourself.

    I use a HRM and usually goes to 26 min or so and I burn about 218 Cal I am 5"6, 185 lbs. Everyone will burn different depending on their effort and weight and size tho!
  • I started yesterday because I plan to skip tomorrow... but yeah my thighs are already sore after two days! lol... I have done the workouts before but never 30 days in a row... back when I did them about 3 times a week I even started seeing results then, so I am excited to see what I can do this time!

    I bought this a week ago and after the first day, I was so sore I couldn't do it again the next day. I'm going to try it again starting tomorrow and be a little more consistent (aka do it more than just the first day). I'm going to need some serious motivation because I lack muscle strength and Jillian's routine was really tough! I've seen some AMAZING before and after pictures though on another thread, so I'll keep checking that to motivate me. Good luck to all on this challenge!
  • Just did day 2 level 1...can't wait to share changes with you guys.

    Please feel free to add me. I have done this shred before. It worked great for me. But I moved house and have not got back into the groove again. Hopefully joining this group will get me back into action. Goodluck.

    i just wanted to encourage you all... you'll probably be sore for about 3 days, but day four was the turn around for me. push through and you'll be SO glad you did! :-)

    Just keep going! I find once you start moving the pain goes about 80% away and i actually feel better the next day after working out. when you stop you hurt for days.

    For those of you who've done this video before--did you experience any stiffness in your back muscles the following day? My arms and legs are fine, but I've been feeling like a granny as I hobble around today...

    I did keep an eye on my form in a mirror (as much as possible, given the pace of things) so I don't think I was doing anything incorrectly.

    Yes. Try to keep an eye on your form you dont want to pull you back out. I am sore all over in general for the first few days of each workout.

    Thanks for the reassurance! I've heard lots of good things about 30DS, but also seen plenty of warnings about people getting hurt, etc. That's why I set up so I could see the mirror and also did the first day with no weights.

    I guess I'll try Day 2 later then...sigh.

    I pull out the full length mirror too. I set it next to the tv. It really does help! :)
