    Hello

    I've been doing it for a while, I'm on day 4 of level 2. It's really good, I've already noticed a massive difference. You'll need some weights of different sizes, and a mat to lie on (unless your carpet is nice and thick). Try doing a search, there's been looooads of discussions on this!

    You do 10 days of level 1, 10 days of level 2, 10 days of level 3!
    I've just completed day 5 of level 1 and I feel stronger and more toned already. My calves look killer!
  • omg i cant wait to try it, is it just for toning up though because im trying to lose alot of weight first so will this help? x

    It'll help with both, as you're toning up it'll help you lose weight, since you're working on your main/largest muscle groups.

    I am on day 2 level 1, I am already an active person and visit the gym 5 days a week but due to my weight having come to a stand still I thought I would change my routines a bit so see if that would help. Day 1 was hard and it can only get better.
    You will love it!!!!!
    Add me if you would like 30DS buddy :smile:

    I did day 1 level 1 today, but this is my second time around I did it about a year ago, it is a great workout. 3 levels 10 consecutive days of each, take your weight and measurements coz you will be shocked at the results, i have let things go and i just know that this work out will kick me back into shape.

    i believe she did the biggest loser think in the usa????? dunno tho am in uk.

    enjoy and good luck. I had to modify all sorts of stuff like i was injured and couldnt do jumping jacks so i walked them, no problem just keep moving and do your best!

    i m doing it, but kinda in my own time, you need weights too, but i haven't got any yet so use bean tins or bottles full of water! it seems to do the trick. it is defo a good workout!

    UK girl here too!

    I'm on day 22 so only 8 days left! I'm so proud of myself for doing it 22 days consecutively!

    I've finished my weight loss so I wasn't doing the shred for that reason (and I haven't lost any wight even though I'm still eating on a deficit on weekdays) BUT I feel so much stronger and fitter!

    Friend me for support!

    I've just done day 5 of level one. Finding it ok, kinda scared of level 2 though.

    Yes, Jillian Michaels is the trainer on The Biggest Loser USA. She shouts alot in the programme but not on the DVD. She works you hard but I'm hoping for good results. A lot of people have said they havnt lost weight with this but have lost inches instead. Take all your measurements before you start.

    Good luck and Friend me if you want a Shred-buddy

    Hi, I bought the 30DS dvd too and I've been doing it for 2 days now. Omg, my body is sore from doing this. My legs and arms are killing me but no pain, no gain, right?
    Goodluck, we can be buddies too, just add me. :)

    Well, RubysYummyMum, this technically IS a thread, so the title still works! But I have the 30DS, and I really like it. I've been doing it on and off for several months. But between graduating from grad school, getting engaged, starting a new job, and house hunting, I've never been able to do it consistently for 30 days. I'm in ok shape, and I'm starting to do it more consistently, and I've not gotten to the point where Level 1 is a little easy. So now, for a little extra calorie burn, I'll go home and do Level 1 on my lunch break (since it doesn't make me sweat that bad anymore), and then when I get home I'll do level 2 or 3. Level 2 still gets my heart pounding though!

    I really want to try her ab video- I hear it's tough!!

    I started it yesterday and I thought it was killer (didn't help I was sore from the jog the night before). I'm excited to keep doing it and see what results I get. Afterwards, I did day 2 of couch to 5K and I was dripping sweat when I was done.

    i'm on day 8 right now... kiiiinda worried because i plan on moving to level 2 after day 10 at level 1, and i hear each level gets a LOT harder. i feel much better by the end of the workout than i did the first few days though!

    good luck :)

    Just keep at it! The first time I did it I thought I was going to throw up. Now I'm able to breeze through Level 1! I think back and think, wow, I can't believe this made feel like I was going to get sick! It's a pretty sweet realization, and I know you'll get to that point too!
