    as a shred veteran my main advice is this: the first three days will feel like torture. after that the pain isn't nearly as bad and you will quickly find yourself getting stronger and more fit. be sure to take before pictures and measurements, even if you won't be sharing them with anyone but yourself. it's great to be able to compare!

    i still throw a shred day in after a run on occasion, so it's a nice way to mix things up later on.

    happy shredding!

    I did it today..for the third time in a week. I can't do this everyday because of my schedule...and I throw in other workouts, but I will be doing this at least 3x/week for the next month. :) Feel free to add me.

    I just started today as well! My goal is to get down a dress size. I'm currently at 135 and would love to get to 128!! I'm doing Weight Watchers for my diet and am trying to run a couple of times a week. Am hoping the 30 Day Shred really shocks my body to tone up and lose a few lbs in the process!! Feel free to add me too! :smile:

    Just did Day 5 (after a few unintentional days off). I have to say, it is already getting easier, even though I'm still feeling the pain! I plan on doing 4-5 days per week. My current weight is 150, and I'm trying to get down to 130. Good luck everyone!

    "the first three days will feel like torture. after that the pain isn't nearly as bad and you will quickly find yourself getting stronger and more fit. be sure to take before pictures and measurements, even if you won't be sharing them with anyone but yourself. it's great to be able to compare!"

    ^^ THIS! ^^ I highly suggest holding the stretches much longer than JM does in her cool down. It will help you get through the soreness too. When you feel sore, push play! When you workout while you are sore, you get through it in a few days. If you take days off and then go back, you will be sore all over again. If you are really sore, soak in an epsom salt bath. You will feel better!!!

    Plus, don't weigh yourself for a month. You will be gaining muscle while losing fat. The scale doesn't move much while doing 30DS. Your measurements do though!!! Taking measurements and progress photos are your real progress markers!

    Also, people that do the 30DS seem to feel like if they miss a day that they have to start over. I, personally, feel this is merely an excuse. I fractured my toe in 2 places and ended up taking 5 days off in the middle of 30DS level 2. When I could get back into the groove again, I did one day at level 1, and then picked right back up where I left off! My 30DS will be 31 actual days of shredding, but will take place over the course of 36 days! Honestly, I tried to do 30DS before, but I got injured in the middle and the group I was in at that time told me to start over and that I couldn't miss days. I call BS! There will be times that life happens, like my fractures. Sometimes it is with working out and other times it is with food. The best part about a healthy journey... you get a brand new, fresh day every morning!!! If you stumble one day, just pick yourself back up, dust yourself off, and get back on track! Don't beat yourself up over it and surely, don't quit!!!

    I did day 6 of level 3 of the 30DS today. 4 more days and I am done with it. Kind of sad, but happy and excited to be moving forward! I will be starting Insanity in a week. :) This was my second attempt at a home workout program and I am happy to say that I am completing it!!!

    Best of luck to you! Hang in there!!! It can be tough, but feels amazing to finish. The hardest part is pushing play everyday!

    I've completed this in the beginning of last year, but I was way heavier. I restarted and I'll be on day three tomorrow :)

    I started Day 1 today. So far I really like it! It was pretty intense for a 20 min at home workout! It reminded me a lot of my old Army workouts! ;0)
