    So, what is the 30 day Shred I'm hearing so much about? You have to do it everyday? How long a daily workout? Sorry for the questions, just seeing if I have the time before I look into buying it.

    30 Day Shred is an exercise DVD by Jillian Michaels, and consists of 3 different 20 minute workouts that increase in difficulty. The idea is to done a day, the first level for 10 days, second for 10 days and then the third for 10 days, but if you feel the first is too easy then move up to the second earlier e.t.c. Some people take rest days, I am trying to do it without. If you are in the UK it only costs £5 for the DVD's and you will need some small hand weights.

    Nice work! My wife works ten hours a day at a nursery, so only having to do 20 minutes for a workout is really handy. I am doing it because it works out pretty much everything in a short space of time, and I can concentrate on the muscles I want to improve more with lifting. I never realised how weak my legs were until I started this!

    Hi, I'm in the UK ... where can you find it for £5?!
    I would love to give it a try but money's tight and if I can get it for that price I will grab it with both hands :-)

    Level one is available on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Pc-NizMgg8

    The whole season is available on Amazon instant video for $4.99 (so you wouldn't get a dvd, you'd just stream it or download it from amazon.)

    http://www.amazon.com/Jillian-Michaels-30-Day-Shred/dp/B00127RAJY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335354594&sr=8-1

    I started with level one 10 days ago on youtube, and bought the whole season yesterday. I absolutely love it.

    I'll give it a go in a month or so. Just been doing my own thing the last 3 weeks(only 3 week on this site). Running, spinning, some weights and plenty of calisthenics.

    i watched a bit of level 2 and i cant believe im gunna have to do that tomorrow lol. but i actually cant wait because seeing these results after he first 10 days !! i can only imagine what the final result will be like !!

    also i only used really small weights 1.5lbs or something rediculous. its just what i had hanging around my house. i soon bought some more tho!! i hear about people using water bottles so theres no major need to spend money !

    hopefully ill be able to update you all in another 10 days time !!!

    Wow! Well done to you!!

    Ive had great results with Shred too and now busy with it once again after doing some RI30.

    Level 2 is scary...hehe... its definitely hard....but the crazy thing is...I've gotten to love it cause it really makes me work hard and sweat hard and get awesome results! ;)

    Just push through it and by day 4/5 you will see changes in your endurance for sure!
    This is true... I can definitely do level 2 better... But I still hate it. lol I'm looking forward to level 3, mainly for a change. 2 more days of level 2...

    I'm on day 2 of Level 3. This is my second round. I think Level 2 is my favorite level. I caught my reflection in my tv while doing the supermans. I had to pause the DVD because I couldn't stop laughing. I still need to drop 30-40lbs and it wasn't pretty.

    That's it... I'm going to order 30DS again! Woowoo! I wish I never lent it out... :grumble:

    ^^I learned this lesson twice. Never lend out the 30 Day Shred. It'll never come back. :bigsmile:
