    I thought it would be too high impact myself but if you follow the girl doing the "easier" or the "cheat" version, it's alot easier on the knees

    Thanks for making this.

    How is everyone doing with her level 3?

    I had my first day yesterday and it wasn't that hard but all the jumping was quite tough.

    I know how you feel there. I couldn't do the rockstar jumps...I could barely get my feet off the floor I was so tired.

    I started the 30DS on the 1st. it's not that challenging to me so i dont know if i should just go to level 2 in a few days or continue level 1 for the full 10 days. i run on the treadmill every other day too. :p

    Same here, may go to level two! LEvel one seemed a bit slow to me only due to 3.5 years of working out in a gym where instructors are super fast! However, this is my first time doing JM's DVD. I also have 6w6P and want to start it after the 30DS! Good luck everyone!

    I am on workout 2 of week 2 on RI30 so I would love to join. I also have shred it with weights
    And I word if caution to those that do the video is look into how to properly perform a kettlebell swing because the form she shows
    In that video isn't very good. Plus there is a
    move in level two where you bend forward and throw the kettlebell between your legs with your back straight and
    I can say as a licensed physical therapist assistant that it will kill your back.
    I would love to join this group as I need all the motivation I can get.

    I know my previous post sounded semi anti-Jillian but I want to clarify
    That I love her videos and am in the best shape of my life because of her.

    Well yesterday was my 2nd day of level 3 and it was about the same as day 1 it seems pretty easy its just all the jumping that gets to me.

    I love her video I really just wish I got more results from it then my arms slimming down. I have to admit I've done a lot of workouts and my arms haven't changed but I've lost 1/2 an inch in my arms since Ive started her video. 1/2 an inch may not seem like much but it is to me. Before I started doing any type of video I was doing 10 mins of abs, 10 mins of arms, 10 mins of butt, and 30 mins on my workout bike and I lost 10 pds since I started the video I have basically gained a pound and then lost it again so I'm basically maintaining. I think once I'm done with the 30 days I'm gonna go back to my old routine.

    Is there any other video's out there that anyone has had great results with that anyone knows of?

    Thanks,
    Alicia

    I just bought the 30DS video today over lunch - I'd love to join this group. Any tips or advice from people that have done it before?

    Just know the first day or two doing it your going to be in A LOT of pain well not pain but sore as HELL but I recommend not taking a break to let the soreness go away, push through it and it will get easier as time goes trust me. Good Luck!!!!

    6 week 6 pack is not bad on the knees? Sometimes the shred really does something to mine... Is 6W6P all about the abs or is it other areas too?

    There is a lot less jumping around so it is not nearly as rough on the knees as 30DS. There is one side plank move I couldn't figure out and when I tried, I felt like it could hurt my knee so I just substituted the side plank raises from L3 of the shred. It isn't just abs but the focus is definitely there. Like the shred, she mixes in full body moment and cardio. it goes by pretty quickly (its 30 minutes) and I think it makes a great add on to another video like the shred - if only to give your knees some rest days.

    I made the same substitution. I just started 6W6P on Monday so today was day 3 and I just can't do those side planks. I really like the work out though. I'm going on vacation in the middle of February so my plan is to do 6W6P at least 5 mornings a week, 30DS 2-3 times a week and run 3 times a week. I usually work out at night so I added 6W6P as a morning work out. I wanted to work on my core for vacation but didn't want to give up my runs. Gotta say, I've been pretty sore yesterday and today.
