So, after reading all the positive things about 30 Day Shred I bought the DVD for myself. Last night was the first day of trying it and WOW....I couldn't hardly get through the warm-up. I did manage to get through the majority of day 1 (but doing very modified versions) and my thighs are like jello today. Just made me realize how out of shape I am but some day soon I hope to be able to rock the workouts!! I WILL do this!!!!! :)

    I thought I was in pretty good shape before I started and I was SO sore after day 1. It does get so much better :) The soreness went away for me around day 3. It is worth it to stick with it!

    Great work, starting it! I felt like i was going to DIE the 1st week! i'm still alive and can say that i'm on Level 3, Day 2 and it makes Level one seem like a walk in the park! lol . . . i'm actually going to do 30DS over again, once this 30 days is over. . i'm going to continue to start over until Mid May and see what results i have. . . Good luck and you will Hate and Love JM in no time! "Don't get abs for free" as she says lol . . if only we looked like those girls LOL

    I started yesterday too! I'm sore all over. there's a post going to new 30 shredders that are just beginning. I'm not sure how to invite you to the group, If I can figure it out I will. Or I'll go there and tell the group starter, if you're interested!

    I just started the 30 DS last week and that first day kicked my butt!!! I could really feel it the next day in my arms and legs!! After a couple days of doing it (even after taking a day off in between) I can already tell a huge difference in my stamina throughout the workouts and I can feel I'm losing inches!! Congrats on making it through the first day and committing to it!!

    it gets a lot easier! i weighed 378 pounds when i first started and have been on level 1 about a week now. i have lost 13 pounds total and 12 inches. At first i couldnt get through the warm up. now i can get through it completely ( still no hand weights) without breaking much of a sweat. i might try to use hand weights today!

    I'm on level 3 on my last week now, and when I started I was in the same boat.
    Keep at it and you will find that it gets easier!
    (Only every level is a fresh new hell lol..)

    I have only just finished level 2 and am amazed at my progress, just posted a blog about it http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Jugsie23/view/what-does-a-7lb-weight-loss-look-like-203565

    Granted, it isn't the only thing I'm doing but it has helped massively.

    Also, I don't follow a 1200 calorie diet, it's 1600 minimum and I try to eat clean. It can be done!

    Hi Sara. Any start is a start. The work out videos (like 30 day shred) are really about committment. Do what you can and then slowly increase to add a little more. Just do it every day (or whatever they recommend (i.e. 5 days a wk, etc) and you will find it will get easier and easier and the lbs will come off too. Keep rockin girl!

    Push ups are tough..no doubt about it! Try wall push ups until you gain some upper body strength. Just remember to keep your back, legs and neck in a straight line. The farther you step your feet from the wall, the tougher it gets! You'll be pounding out push ups in no time! Keep up the good work!

    I started the 30DS on Sunday, and did it again before work this morning. OMG! I have to walk up/down the stairs a lot at work. My thighs are killing me. Along with my butt and arms. But, it's a good hurt. I can't wait to see the changes after 30 days, if any.

    You can do it! I'm on day 8, level 1 and am feeling a lot better throughout the workout. It has gotten a lot easier. I've even opted for heavier weights.

    Good luck!

    I started it yesterday too...OMG I was thinking it was going to be easy since it was just 20 minutes. Boy was I wrong. My arms and thighs are so sore today.

    I'm sure youve all been asked, but are you doing it every day? What about the whole, "you have to do strenght training every other day to allow muscle recovery"

    So I'm a lil confused if I should do it everyday.

    Now I'm scared! I did level 3, day 6 of the 30 DS this morning (26 days overall) and I already have six week six pack standing by for when I finish...so I can expect more rump kicking, I'm guessing! Ok - bring it on! :tongue:
