I'm thinking of starting the 30 day shred, I've heard its really hard work, but what does everyone think?

Is it worth it/does it work? Does anyone have pictures/statistics of before and after the 30ds? :)

Thanks!

    I'm a beginner as far as fitness goes and the 30ds was a great intro into training and incorporating weights for me. I just started level three and I can really see a difference not only outwardly but in what I am able to do. I've heard that no matter what fitness level 30 DS will kick your butt.

    I love the 30 day shred. I am a full time mom, work full time and go to school part-time but I can manage to squeeze in 27 minutes 2 or 3 times a week. She works every body part and is so nice to feel muscle in my arms again.

    Sounds like it works! I might give it a go, I'm really bad when it comes to exercise, but maybe this will kick me into shape.

    Is there a diet that comes along with it, or do you just do a normal diet and exercise at the same time?

    I'm on day 10 and I think it's working.
    I've done all levels and the only problem I have with it is the overuse of shoulders and quads throughout the entire series. It's also a bit rough on the joints, so it's definitely not for everyone.
    Other than that, it's mostly enjoyable and tough and I think worth checking out.

    I personally hated it but I'm a LOT older than you. I found turbojam tapes to be a lot more fun.

    I love the Shred.

    I've never actually completed it, always end up getting lazy. But a friend & I started it on Monday & intend to finish it.

    It will kick your asssss. [My friend texted me after the 2nd day of doing it & said "Im just eating my dinner standing up because I don't want to try to sit down..."]

    There is no diet or anything that comes along with it, it's just 3 levels of the workout

    I love it! I first did it in November/December and had great results. Then I did Ripped in 30 which is also great along with No More Trouble Zones. The video's give you a really good total body workout. You feel it the next day for sure! Good luck and hope you like it!

    I have done the 30 day shred in the past, and lost about 17lbs the first time... I just started it again, I'm on day three. I loved it, it was hard at first, but it gets a little easier, but I think it's way worth it! Didn't take before/after pictures last time, but this time I did! So I'll definitely post them after I'm finished with this cycle!

    You've all persuaded me! Me, my brother and my grandma are gonna give it a go, although it sounds like my grandma won't be able to do much if its as intense as you all say!

    Thanks guys :D

    Endurance wise I seen a huge difference. I didn't lose anything on it though or see any body changes that were noticeable when I just did it alone. When I changed my routine to doing it 3 days a week and Six Pack in Six Weeks I did see a change and I lost 3 pounds that week. This week I change to Ripped in 30 and I personally like it a lot better.

    I don't have the motivation for it yet...just discourages me because I can't do it very easily and it bores me, but it depends on the person. I prefer machines with shiny buttons to stare at and I can't even watch movies I've already seen, so you can imagine I am bored watching the same workout more than one time.
