How did 30 Day Shred work for you?

In fact, I didn't struggle with stairs afterwards - I fell down them!!! My legs were complete jelly. I'm still struggling with stairs lol

I just finished up Level 2 today (move on to Level 3 on Monday).

After the first level, I lost 5.5 inches and 5lbs

On the second day of level two, I threw out my back, so I missed a few days. This past week, I did Level 1 & Level 2 every day to play catch up for missing the first week of Level 2. Results weren't as good this week, I gained the weight I lost back, and even gained an inch back in my waist and chest. Its almost that time of the month too, so that may have played a factor into it, plus from throwing out my back last week. But I did see results, I lost another 1.5 inch off my hips. So any results are good results!

I will say, although I cannot visibly see it, I can FEEL my body toning and changing. My body still looks the same to me. But my calves feel more toned, my upper arms, and I can even feel my abs underneath the flab of my stomach (cant see them, but I can feel them). My endurance is a lot stronger. When I started Level 1, I literally would have to keep hitting pause on the DVD during the cardio portions just to catch my breath, and get a drink of water, and then continue. Now...well like I said above, I was doing Level 1 AND Level 2 all this week, no breaks, no pausing the DVD, no resting. I do this workout 5 days a week (weekends I rest, I have 3 kids, and weekends are hectic).

Good Luck, and I agree with the poster above, STRETCH THOSE QUADS! After the first day, I literally could barely walk the 2nd and 3rd days. It was awful. But by the 5th day, all my soreness was completely gone.

I completed it last Friday and lost a total of 8.5 inches all over, and the difference wasnt obvious to me until I posted my pics on here the other day. I loved doing it and have actually started doing it all over again lol, I hated level 2 with a passion and have to say level 3 was my favourite. You feel fantastic when you complete it, so much more toned and a lot stronger, make sure you take your measurements and before pics as it keeps you motivated, I did 10 days on each level and would take a pic every 10 days. Good luck with it, I look forward to seeing your pictures!

I started before xmas and take saturday and sunday off. I only count the days i work out an i'm on day 64. I did each level approx 10 days. I stupidly didnt measure when i started but measured last month an will again next week. I've lost 10lbs as of last weight check. Definitely stretch an move on when you feel your ready. I think level 2 is the hardest and i really like level three. You feel so good when your done. I'm fixing to go buy Ripped in 30 to start next. Jillian may annoy me but she knows her stuff

30ds worked awesome for me. I had great results and I actually enjoy the workout so I am still doing it everyday. I did it for 30 days straight. I love it because it's a quick workout but very effective. I think anyone can do it as long as you just go at your own pace and stick to it. Good luck

Here's my results

I just posted pics of my progress after only 7 days. I can't wait to see what my pics look like after 30.

Good Luck - you can do it!

I love the 30DS. I've lost inches and toned up. I'm on Level 3 now, but there's a big difference in my body, especially my tummy and thighs. I combine this with competitive swimming workouts and the days I don't swim, I double up on Jillian's 20 minute workouts because I feel like I need a little bit longer workout. But it's great! Good luck!

Start on a Thursday by washing your hair and braiding it or planning on wearing a hat: combing or blow drying hair after workout 1 is awful. You'll still be able to walk Friday morning but you'll be the most sore on Saturday. By Monday you'll start to feel good and strong and by Tuesday you won't feel constantly sore.

30 Day Shred gets results, but do it with a friend or jump into a 30 day shred thread on MFP. Misery loves company!

If losing weight and looking fantastic isn't enough of a reward, think of rewards for each of the levels (new haircut? new workout pants? iTunes download of more Jillian?

Don't forget before/after pics and measurements! You will want them.

Good luck! I'm so excited for you!

I'm starting over for the 3rd time...1st time I go sick and 2nd time I relapsed and was in monthly cycle...THis time I'm gonna finished it...I can do this...I have to keep reminding myself!
