30DS is hard, but definitely makes you stronger, just take it at your own pace. Running has never been my thing- I get bored and slack off, also I'm not very good at it. Having said that, having recently completed 30DS, I found treadmill running a lot less difficult than I usually do. Alternating the two sounds like a good…

Started with 5, moved on to 8lbs

Started yesterday!

Finished 30 DS, took a week off and started ripped in 30 today

Level 3 day 10 done!!! Had one rest day for each 10 days, mainly to accommodate period/ work schedule. Weight loss has been modest, about 4 lb in 30 days, but then I've only been running a small calorie deficit- tried going down to 1200 calories before and while it was effective, it just wasn't sustainable for more than a…

Level 3 day 8. Only two more days to go. I feel different, stronger and more toned, but not sure if I look different. Scale hasn't moved as much as I would've liked but clothes feel a lot better.

Had a rest day yesterday, L3 day 6 today.

In Vancouver, wet and wild out there but not as bad as yesterday so far.

L3 day 5...really surprised that I've stuck with it, it's very unlike me ;)

Level 3 day 4

Level 3 day 3- still on Anita for some of it, but actually I think level 2 is the hardest overall.

Level 3 day 2 today. Felt a bit better than yesterday.

Day 1 level 3 done today. The new moves are really hard, I had to 'Anita' the whole way through!

Also me!

L2 day 10 done!

Bump for video link

My lower back was really sore when I first started- for me I think it was the impact of all the jumping jacks, something my body was definitely not used to! Took a rest day and it has been better as I get used to working out.

Oh no! Hope it gets better soon.

Level 2 day 8 done. Went for a run today too for the first time in months (I hate running) and definitely found that my general fitness level is way better after doing shred for last 3 weeks :)

Level 2 day 7. Really struggled with motivation and energy today but it's done :)

Yeah- those chair squat/V raises are really hard!

Level 2 day 6 done :)

Level 2, day 5- half way there

Level 2 day 3 done!

Just did level 2 day 2. It was brutal- my arms and shoulders are so weak!

I just did day 1 of level 2 today. I'm really enjoying the challenge, and definitely feeling stronger. My knees have been fine so far, although my lower back had been a little achey from all the jumping. I switched the cardio to lower impact exercises for a couple of days and that made a big difference to the back pain.

Finished level 1 day 6 today. Finding it ok but having lower back pain in the evenings...
