    Where do I start, I bought the DVD a year ago. I started and stopped as many time as I can remember. I could never get pass the easy part (part one). Well after reading everyone’s replies I’m going to start on tomorrow. If you all can do it so can I.:smile:

    Jillian Michaels (the person, not the marketing ploy) intended the 30 Day Shred to be a workout followed in the following format: 2 days on, 1 day cardio, 2 days on, 1 day cardio, 1 day rest. So when I did the shred, for instance, I did

    Mon: 30 DS
    Tues: 30 DS
    Wed: Cardio
    Thurs: 30 DS
    Fri: 30 DS
    Sat: Cardio
    Sun: Rest

    Breaking it up did help a lot. I think 30 days straight, or even 5 per week would be too much for the muscles to get optimal healing time. But I guess that's just my preference. :O)

    I did the 30 DS in March with very little rest days - if I skipped a day, I would do a double workout on the weekend because I THOUGHT you had to do it for 30 days straight ... then I found out how Jillian actually intended it which is exactly what this says - I wish I would have known that when I started; HOWEVER, I did lose 11 inches all around so I was very happy with my results. I don't own a scale so not sure if I lost any weight, but I definitely lost inches. Please don't get discouraged if you don't lose the pounds while doing this program - you do lose more inches for the most part. I did this and only this workout, so if you are incorporating other workouts, then you may have way better results. And eating better helps as well. Count your calories. I am currently doing her Ripped in 30 and I like it a lot. If any one has any questions about the program, feel free to ask. Anyone can friend me as well. Good luck to all who take on this venture - it's not easy, but it's worth it!

    ** the above part was supposed to be quoted from another poster - I didn't post that originally, sorry for any confusion!

    Track it as Circuit Training for now. Try to invest in a HRM so you can create your own exercise and track your individual calores burned.

    Hi everyone,

    I will be starting the 30 Day Shred later this afternoon. I have ordered the 90 day program - JM Body Revolution but it appears I will not be receiving it for another 2-3 weeks. So, I decided to do the 30 Day Shred before it arrives. If I have good results with the shred, I will stick with it for 30 days before starting body revolution.

    I am just starting my fitness/diet journey and need help keeping me on track! I am so glad I found you all :)

    That is interesting. I have been alternating the 30 DS with my regular interval training program. I think I will try doing it this way. I only have .4 lb. left to my goal.

    Hi all!!

    I join this site last year and learnt about 30DS and did it in the run up to my holidays to get my bikini boday back (after shredding some weight through dieting) and I have to say I never felt better in a bikini that I did on that holiday - and I didn't even complete the 30 days!!

    I started the DVD again as I am heading to Mexico in June and want that feeling back...

    I'm on Week 1, Day 5 and can really feel myself gettin back to the level I was before.

    Keep me motivated... I'll join the group now!

    i am just about to start level 2 of the 30 Day Shred, having done 10 days of level 1.
    Took some before photos (thou i didnt do measurements) and took some more photos this morning, and it wasn't until i compared them side by side that i was like 'hey, there is a big difference' and my friend who i sent them to said she could really see a different also. It has given me the motivation to keep going...lets see how Level 2 treats me today.

    I have been doing the work out everyday, and i normally run as well but ive been a little under the weather last few day so have left out the running for a while. I am due to go away for a couple of days next week, so i will miss a couple of days but i plan to pick up where i left off and hopefully all will be fine.

    Good Luck everyone

    That's GREAT! Someone told me earlier that they believe you see the most changes in level 2 (where I am as well), so I'm looking forward to seeing my results! :smile:

    Hi Everyone,
    I just came across this post. I am on Day 3 of 30 DS and it is kicking my butt. I have been reading a lot of good reviews on this DVD and that is my motivation to stick with it. I hope I see some good results at the end. Anyways, please feel free to add me because I definitely need extra motivation and encouragement. Come we can do it!!!:happy:
