    I would like to do it. What does it consist of? I'm new to my fitness pal (just started today) and want to get the most out of this program.

    It's an exercise video by Jillian Micheals with 3 different levels, supposed to do it 30 days, hence 30day shred. About 30min. Pretty good workout.

    Good luck to all that start it. :)

    I just finished doing 30 days of the Shred for the first time.. (Skipped 4 Saturdays). I plan on doing another it another 30 days. I am looking a *bit* forward to going back to level 1 and I remember I thought I was going to die doing level 1 the first time around. Never thought I would be able to do Levels 2 and 3, but I did it. I look forward to going back and trying to do less of the modified moves the second time around. :)

    i started last night and did my second session this morning! i have HIGH expectations of this. have not done my measurements but will do tonight so i can check progress.

    good luck! i didn't find it too bad. some of the weights strength were pretty challenging (especially the side lunges with arm raises, and the squats with arm raises). i am only using 2.5kg weights, but that is plenty heavy for now.

    So is everyone doing 30 days straight or are you going to take a day each week or each level off? I was thinking of tryint to go the first 10 days then breaking a day then start the 2nd level. Also what else are you doing beside this? I am trying to get back to the gym next week life is hectic right now for me but I am finding time to workout everyday! I also have some walking dvd's if the weather is bad I do them and I have E A Sports Active for my wii I like it a lot but it's the older one without the hrm....

    i'm going to do the 30 days straight, although i do need to take a mini break in the first weekend of november as i'm doing a 100km charity bike ride and need to rest up before it and after it. so i will probably skip four days in a row there.

    other than 30DS, here's my usual exercise pattern (my base calories are 1230. i weigh 146 pounds and am 5"7. aiming to lose another eight pounds or so):

    four days a week i cycle to and from work (9kms each way, and it's hilly)
    two days a week - 20 mins of weights but they are quite light and targeted at strenghtening some of my muscles for tennis.

    mondays i either do lunchtime yoga or a short run (4kms)
    tuesdays - either a 4k run or pilates
    weds - spin for 50 mins
    thurs - i've been doing training rides for the charity cycle - around 25-30kms around a flat-ish route)
    fri - advanced pilates and maybe tennis in the evening
    sat - yoga
    sun - usually tennis

    day 3, level 1 done! (i'm on oz time so a few hours ahead of you all).

    still finding it challenging to lift those weights, but am sticking with it.

    did a HARD spin class yesterday which was all strength (so heavy resistance) and combined with the 30DS, my legs are SORE today. but pain is weakness leaving the body!

    good luck today!

    Wtg! Im also sore my legs I can deal with it's my side muscles that are killing me bad! But you know what after I started I was ok the pain seemed to go away and not tonight it's back fullforce! Today was a down day for me and I kinda ate almost all my exercise calories back but tomorrow is looking better!

    WooHoo everyone is doing amazing!! So I have decided I'm not gonna weigh in untill the day I finish my 30DS If I go straight it will be the day before Thanksgiving. Even with kicking my *kitten* this week I didn't lose any but I'm also happy I didn't gain any! So I'm off to start my day. Good Luck to everyone. We Can Do This!!!

    I just started this morning. And I have no upper body strength at all. It definitely killed me. But in a good way. I felt it when I had to lift my arms to wash my hair in the shower afterwards. My question is, how do you enter the work out into your tracking exercise thing?

    Wtg! Day 1 was hard for me I thought 5lbs weight would be good well I switched to 3lb weights yesterday thinking of going back and forth with them. Any way I was told to log it as Circuit training, general . Good Luck

    Awesome. Thanks. I just signed up on here the other day. So I haven't filled out my info and put pics or anything on my profile. But counting calories is seriously eye opening. And nothing like doing fat shaking jumping jacks first thing in the morning to realize you need to motivate and lose some fat. I also picked 5 lb weights. Oh, and I cannot do pushups for anything.

    I added you as my friend :) We can motivate each other and your welcome to join all of us on our 30 day shred!!! I started my counting calories about 3 years ago then the holidays came and I quit. Started again in April of 2010 and lost 45lbs in about 3 1/2 months then found out I was pregnant with my son. He is now a lil over 7 months old and Im just feed up with my body! Im down 11lb since I started this site in Sep. I would like to lose another 45 by april of 2012. Good Luck!
