  • I'm on day 6 of Level 2. (I did 10 days of Level 1). I don't think I'll ever be able to do the proper exercises. I'll forever be following Anita. I've taken a couple of rest days throughout and I started adding extra cardio on my elliptical. I like the 30 DS and will see it through but not sure I'd do it again. I feel like…

  • I'm switching back and forth between 2.5 lb weights and 5 lb weights. I use the lighter ones for any exercises involving lunges! And the heavier ones for chest flies and back.

  • I'd say do level 1 until you feel comfortable moving to level 2. There is no specific timeline on when to move up a level. Jillian even says in her intro to move to level 2 "when you feel ready." If your knee is giving you some trouble right now, I'd say you're not ready to move on. And that's perfectly ok!

  • I've been following the formula I found online. 30 day shred calorie burn - 3.267 calories burnt per pound every hour. Multiply by weight to get how many calories per hour you would burn and divide by 3 to get each 20 minute work out

  • Hey.... I'm going to be doing day 2 of level 1 today and I'm a little scared for it. I woke up feeling quite sore (legs, chest, arms). I don't think I'm as sore as you but I do understand the feeling of muscles that haven't been worked in a long time. My advice to you would be to follow the advice of the personal trainer.…

  • I just finished day 1 of level 1! Holy crap! I hate jumping jacks!! I'm following Anita in the videos with the modified exercises. I hope I can follow Natalie before I should be moving onto level 2! Just to reiterate, I hate jumping jacks!

  • Hi Lori! I asked the same question! I was told to do Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for 10 days, Level 3 for 10 days to equal the 30 days! However, when listening to JM's intro at the beginning of the dvd, she says to start at level 1 and simply move to level 2 when you feel ready. I'm going to aim to be "ready" for level 2…

  • 5'1" here and currently 150 lbs. I just had my first baby 11 weeks ago and gained 40 lbs in my pregnancy. My goal is to get to at least 125 lbs and go from there. I was less than 100 lbs all through high school and didn't hit 100 until my early 20s. I'm really wanting my body back! And am looking to make some friends who…
