How did 30 Day Shred work for you?

completed level one day 2 last night. i was not as out of breath and used hand weights this time....i didnt have them the first night. i am more sore today but its a good sore. i am feeling so motivated. keep up the good work ladies.

After reading all of these inspriational stores, I went to Target last night and purchased it for $9. I'm starting it today over lunch, and am looking forward to it. You all have seen those commercials where people get paid to say a product works or whatever, but hearing something that works from all of you, I know it's money well spent. If I'm understanding correctly, you should do each level for 10 days, right? Looking foward to it, and will post how I've done throughout. Thanks again all!

It was one of the only work outs that I didn't hate! I didn't track my loss that time, but it made me feel and look more toned, and I felt it kicking my *kitten* daily! I stayed on a level until I was really ready to move forward, just a thought. Rock it girl!! You're going to love it!

I think it is fine to do whatever levels work for you. The way I understood it was that the different levels are just to change it up and hand work your muscles in a different way.

I just got my DVD in the mail today, and am so excited to start tomorrow after hearing all of your stories! I don't know if I will do it every day... What do you guys do to fit it in with your other exercises? I try to run 2-3 miles with my husband 2-3 times a week, and I don't know if I'll be able to do both a shred level and run on the same day! My thought was that I'd alternate the runs with the DS. What do you guys think? I'd love to hear your tips and advice!

Hi, only one piece of advice for you when you start the shred. Strech, strech, strech or you will not be able to walk down stairs or get up and down from a chair. Jillian doesn't do any quad streches before you begin. So, after warm up, stop dvd and strech out your legs or you will be sorry. Muscle tone shows up after only one week. If you control your eating I'm sure you will lose weight. You burn about 185 to 200 calories with each 20 minute workout. (I read that on one of the workout sites) Good Luck!

Thank you for the tip! I will definitely remember to stretch. I do not have the time to be walking around all day like a zombie. haha.

I shall post before/after pics in 30days.

^^^ Yes, this...BIG TIME!!!

Wish I's read this before I did day 1 on Monday night - I genuinely have been in agony with my quads since!! Can't walk properly or anything, and I wouldn't class myself as an exercise-phobe!!

Good luck

Same here wish I had known this. I started yesterday and today my quads are so sore and yes have had a hard time getting up and down out of chairs. LOL

Last night was day 1 of level 1 and I totlaly loved it! I couldn't believe how much I sweat in just 20 minutes. Not too sore this morning, Will probally feel it more tomorrow. Looking forward to day 2 tonight.

aaahhh here we go ! i'm doing it tonight so pumped to get my butt kicked *

Day 5 complete. Not sore anymore and.still sweating a ton. I feel like I look thinner but im not surei am gooing to remeasure on day ten. Hoeveryone

Hi I've just completed day two of level 1, got a bit of a way to go, but can't wait to get measured again at the end of 30 days. Can I just ask, what did you log 30ds as, cardio or strength?

I'm now on day 6, you suddenly get a breakthrough day where it doesn't hurt half as much and ti becomes a lot easier. I think by the time I get to day 10 I'll be ready to move on, if not before!

I have finished the 30D Day Shred and recently have started it once more.

I have a lot of respect for the program and Jillian. It has worked for me. Of course it was with calorie counting and some other exercise now and then too, but I lost 25 pounds in two months.

But the thing about the 30DS is that it's not just the weight. Your body changes. Due to not logging/eating a lot/not exercising, over the past few months I have gained back 15 of the 25 pounds that I have lost, but THE CHANGE IS NOT VERY NOTICEABLE. Meaning, people don't notice really that I have gained back that much weight and I look much better than when I was at that same weight before doing 30DS.

Yes, I did gain weight back, but considering I did it for 30 days and managed to not gain back *everything* for the SIX MONTHS that followed with very little exercise...it shows that 30DS definitely changes your body for the better and the results are longer lasting than you'd think.

I threw up when I first did it (and without weights on the first day). Going back to it now it was hard but I didn't throw up. I did up to Day 5 (skipped today, will be back tomorrow) and I can already feel the difference.

Good luck to everyone - it's worth it, I promise.

ok so i will be starting day 8 tonight of level 1. i am feeling good. not really out of breath at all other than a tiny but after the cardio sets. i am not sore anymore. my issue....i have gained a pound and a half. since starting last monday. i am eating healthy drinking my water. ugh. i just dont get it. and after 7 days of this i have only lost at most an inch on my thighs and calves and .5 inches on my waist and hips. what the heck am i doing wrong? it is very frustrating for me. i know i shouldnt expect results right away but from the sounds of it, everyone is seeing results better than mine. after we work out i have a protein shake also. then go to bed. is there something else i should factor in or should i switch things around? i will not give up that is for sure...ive made it this far. im thinking i may move up to level 2 maybe this is too easy for my body...even though it hurts while im doing it at the time. thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated ladies....
