I was just wondering if there is anyone who is starting Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD soon? I'm thinking about starting mine within the next week. I would like to be in some kind of group while doing it though.

    Have you already completed it once? Just wondering whether to do 30DS with other cardio. I'm not to sure if it's a good idea or not.

    I'm doing the 30DS everyday right now and I do 30-60mins additional cardio 5days a week. I feel perfectly fine :) It's very manageable. Just listen to your body, if you need to take a day off or do less exercises aside from the shred then go for it. Everyone is different. But it's definitely doable.
  • Gonna start it Tuesday

    I am soooo tempted to try this. I've heard SO much about it, and such good reviews/results, but I'm worried that I'll get disappointed cause I'm super out of shape, 300+ pounds and might not be able to get through the first level.
    Anyone over 300lbs try it and survived? lol

    Jillian actually makes a comment about this in the video.. "I have 300+ people doing these and so can you" she was talking about the jumping jacks and how there is no modified version of it. However, I couldn't get through the entire first day when I tried it before I had to stop mid-way through some of the exercises due to being out of breath. I didn't stick with it to find out but people say that after the 4th day the soreness goes away. You should definitely try it with us :)

    I believe I'm going to be starting it tomorrow also. I've heard way to much not go 30 days this time around. Oh, and good luck to you :)

    I can't even do cardio straight for 30 minutes, only 15 at the moment without any pain. haha, but I'm working on it. Thanks for your input. I plan on doing some alternations for 30 minutes if I can: walk 3 min, jog 1, repeat. in the mornings and do the video in the afternoons or evening. But again, thank youu!
  • Im on Day 3 of level 1 - I had to take 2 days off because of a severe toothache, but will be jumping back on the bandwagon ASAP!

    Would love to join in and help you stay motivated.. I need a kick in the behind once every few days too so feel free to do so :)
  • I sTarted today! Alot harder then I thought it would be! i took before photos to see if there is any change!Feel free to add me and we can motivate each other!

    I just started 30DS today too. I have started it a few times but have only gotten up to level 2. I want to make through the 30 days and could use some butt kicking.

    I have it and need to start! I tried it a few weeks ago and it killed me. I can't keep up.

    I just went and bought this a few hours ago. I will be starting it tonight when my two older girls go to bed. I don't need them laughing at me. I have heard really good things about it. I know it's going to kick my butt. I am excited about it though.

    I do any where from 30 - 60 minutes a day on my bike,5 days a week. I am not willing to stop doing this. It gives me something to do. I am a sahm, so I get bored.

    I hope to begin it today or tomorrow! Do you know what I will need except the video?
  • I did my first day yesterday and didn't think it was too bad, but everything hurts today. Stuff that I've never felt hurt before! Off to do day 2!

  • Jillian Michaels has mentioned that she only intended for the 30DS to be done very other day with cardio intense workouts in between. You muscles need time to repair themselves.

    So it is supposed to be done every second day? Not every day?
    Because I find it difficult to follow both my gym program and the 30DS.

    I think I'm going to start Friday or Saturday. That way I will be almost finished by the new year.

    I had to listen to my body on this one. Everyone says push through it, but this soreness there is no pushing through it when it's difficult to walk or sit down. However, I'll be back on it tomorrow.

    I'd realy like to get going with this again too, mind if I join in? I actually alternate between 30 day shred and ripped in 30. Tonight is sand volleyball and then I'm in tomorrow! Going to end this year right if it kills me!!

    That is a good idea switching between 30 day shred and ripped in 30. I think I will try that. I completed day 2 of 30 day shred but because it is my second time I am getting a little bored with it.
  • Im cheating a little cause I want to finish by NYE so am doing 9days on each level- level one so far hasn't been too bad. I can't do full pushups- only the ones on my knees but hopefully I'll get there!
