30 ds

The idea is to do each level 10 times, you do not however have to do it every single day to actually finish in 1 calendar month. If you are really hurting the next day, it's okay to take a rest day. The title of the DVD makes it seem like you're supposed to do it 30 days straight but really it's just like any other exercise, sometimes your body might need a break for recovery. Listen to your body. If you wake up the next day feeling good or just a little sore, go ahead and do the next workout. If you wake up and your thighs are screaming and you can barely sit down on the toilet w/o support (yeah that was me after day 1 LOL), take a day off for rest. You will still get results even with a couple rest days here and there b/c you are challenging your body to keep up with you. :-)

ETA: Just for reference, day 1 put me in so much pain that I took a 3 day break (I pushed way too hard my first time), it took me 37 days to finish the 30 workouts (4 additional rest days after that initial 3 day recovery period LOL - those rest days were for scheduling issues - travelling - not for pain) and I got great results - 2" off my butt/hips, 2" off my waist, additional inches off of every other area of my body, increased endurance (could barely jog 5 minutes before doing 30 day shred and jogged just over 12 minutes straight on the treadmill a couple days after I finished). Not to mention on the 4th of 5th day of doing the workout, I started doing back-to-back levels - while on level 1 I'd do it twice in a row, when I got to level 2 I'd do level 2 and follow it with level 1, when I got to level 3 many days I did all 3 levels back to back). And after all that, NOT being in pain the next day and feeling great. Not bad for how incredibly out of shape I was at the start. :-)

I am on level 3 day 4 (so day 24) and I've done the workout every day.
I'm afraid of feeling bad after skipping a day haha

i needed a few days to recoup after doing it for 3 days. I hurt SO BAD! it does get easier as you go. Move up a level when the current level is too easy for you.

I did level 1 day 4 today and planning on doing it in the 30 days. Hopefully my body will let me.

p.s every time I do the squat punches I pretend i'm punching Jillian in the face makes it sooo much easier

I started on a Monday and took Sundays off as a rest day. I did each level for 10 days.

I did 5 days of level 1, took a day off, did another 5 days of Level 1, and took another day off. I am on my 3rd day of Level 2 today, and I plan on doing the same before moving on to Level 3. I do remember being really sore for the first few days especially, but stick with it, because it does get easier. I am barely sore today, aside from my biceps (Level 2 has more bicep work in it.) I pretty much follow Anita, modified, every time, and I am seeing great results! Good luck!!

I am on day 3, level 3 of 30 DS & I have done each level for 10 days straight. I took a rest day in between each level so it will take me 33 days to get through it. I'm fine with it, though.
