    Am joining this thread a bit late - I am have completed 2 days, level 1 - and man, my legs are killing me!! But I can see it is kind of addicting - I woke up this morning wondering if I will do better today than yesterday.

    Feel free to add me for support - my vacation is exactly 30 days away and I really want to finish this!

    Level 1 Day 3 morning workout finished. Finally the soreness is going away in my quads.


    Was wondering how the two-a-days were working for you? I usually jog 3-4 miles several days a week, so I was really surprised by how sore my quads are! Are you doing other cardio exercise as well, or just 30DS?

    Hi all, I started the 30 day shred on Wednesday so have just done day 4 on level 2. It's a killer, but I'm hoping it'll do something about my jelly belly and thighs! I finish it with a bright red head and unable to talk for 5 minutes so I think I'll wait a while before I even consider level 3!! Gonna have a look for her other dvds now. Feel really motivated about doing this, have been dieting for years, not much more weight to lose now, but just want to tone up, especially my thighs they are awful, I've got gym membership but can never be bothered to go (3 kids,so only time is evenings at the moment and I'm just not interested) whereas 20 minutes out of my life a day is do-able. Fingers crossed!!

    Going up steps hurts! I run three miles a few tines a week and thought this wouldn't be bad. Wrong!

    Hey everyone! I just got this DVD and want to start it but I am trying to figure out how to plan it into my current routine. I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere....

    - Do you do this routine in addition to your current workout plan? (I spin 3 times a week, hike or walk once or twice a week and strength train twice a week. Should I drop part of this routine for the duration of the DVD?)

    -Do you do this every day for 30 days or is there a rest day? Or, is it up to the user? (I have seen conflicting information about this)

    Thanks so much! :)

    L1D4 finished. Took off yesterday, and it is getting easier. Marginally, but easier!

    L1D7 Complete!! Does anyone find it hard to complete circuit 1? I can go through circuits 2 and 3 but I can not for the life of me make it through circuit 1 without stopping a few times.

    Hello all, I'm still waiting on my dvd to arrive from Amazon, but in the meantime I looked it up on Youtube and found level 1, so I gave it a go....So Level 1 days 1 complete

    Didn't find it too bad, but I'm sure I'll pay for it later :-)

    I agree that the first circuit on level one is the hardest. I feel like once I get past that I am over the hump!

    I did it 4 days in a row, but I had to take off yesterday. Felt like a knife had been stabbed thru my right thigh. I'll be back on it tonight though. 31 day (hopefully) shred for me.

    I agree! Circuit 1 is the hardest for me as well. I have a question about the jumping jacks. Does she do these in all three levels? I am just doing level 1 from Youtube, so I haven't see L2 or L3 yet. But the jumping jack really bother my knees - do you think it is OK to substitute jogging in place, or something else? Thoughts?

    Just completed Day 4 Level 1. Those side lunges are a killer! I WILL get through this!!!!!

    Side lunges are indeed a killer!

    Did day 6 today. I did nothing on Sat, Sun and Monday but bak to it today. I'm annoyed with myself for taking those days off. I had a few social events to go to on Friday & Saturday night. I overate at both of them and then felt really down on Sunday and Monday. I felt a bit better today, at least better enough to know that I needed to get back into it. Did the workout this morning and then walked for an hour this afternoon. I'm under my calorie goal today (purely due to the exercise) for the first time but don't feel hungry.

    Anyway, on we go. Tomorrow will be day 7 and I'm starting to use 2kg weights.

    Good luck everyone.

    Just saw this now! Yes I'm the same - though it has gotten easier as the days go by. I struggle with the first cardio circuit but bounce through the 3rd. Strange

    L1D8 Complete! In 90 degree weather too. Felt like I was gonna throw up though out, but I managed to get it done :)
  • I'm going to do my day 7 workout tonight instead of the morning. Question though. Despite watching my calorie intake and working out at least once a day, sometimes twice, I'm GAINING weight. Anyone else!?

    I seemed to have stalled today on weight, but then I ate everything I could find yesterday. Adding in stationary cycling in my trainer every other day after the 30DS for 30-60 minutes.
