    I love the 30 day shread, but I hated it at the start! Was always in pain.

    I've recently started going to a run in the mornings and then following it with alternating workouts 5 days a week and I've lost over half a stone!

    This DVD is ****ing amazing. I cant reccomend it enough. I lost a shed load of weight and fitted into my smaller sized jeans again. You must stick to this if you want to see results, and if you are too lazy to count calories, like me, then cut out things from your diet completely for one month like drink or sugar. I cut out sugar, white rice and meat and the weight flew off!

    EDIT: To all students out there, there are other ways to get this DVD, if you catch my drift. ;)

    Started this today.

    I am wrecked!

    Quit smoking 3 or 4 weeks ago, and want to up my fitness. Heard good reports from this, but my god, sweating buckets!

    Tell me it gets easier?

    And is it better to do the routine in the morning or evening?

    By day two you notice you're not struggling or sweating as badly! But you don't really begin to ease into it by day 5 of level 1, I'm on day 6! I change the weights day to day just to keep me working!

    Personally I do it in the morning, just because I know if I don't exercise early then I'll never do it!

    I started this the other day but kids have gotten in the way of keeping it up. I'm starting back tonight though and will start as if I am Day 1 level 1. But my god my thighs are killing me. I'm using it in conjunction with the My Fitness Pal app on my phone and have started eating a lot more healthy than I used to. I haven't fried anything in over a week :eek:

    Hope I'll see results.

    30DS is a fantastic workout dvd. If you think L1 is tough, wait til you get to L3, you'll be saying how L1 was so easy in comparison!

    I'm on Day 8 of Level 2 and went back and did a day of Level 1 yesterday for a bit of a break. Noticed a huge difference in my fitness level, found Level 1 to be very manageable whereas I almost passed out after it back when I first started. Once you keep it up fairly regularly, it gets a lot easier. Not easy by any means, but easier. Still a great workout. Loving the results so far - losing plenty of inches and really noticing it in my clothes. Feels great :D

    For everyone just beginning, keep at it! You'll want to die after Day 2, but you'll get used to it quickly. Good luck!

    Resurrecting zombie-ish thread, hope this is ok :o

    I started this a few days ago just using Youtube as it was a pretty quick decision and didn't want to wait to order dvd etc. I did 1 day of Level 1 (I did no exercise except walking until I started C25k 8 weeks ago), then did 28 min run of C25k the next day, my thighs were in bits!! My arms and abs hurt too but nothing unbearable. Yesterday I did Day 2, found it much easier to cope with, and today no pain at all anywhere! I know you're not meant to be actually in pain after all workouts, but I assume I still stick with Level 1 for a while? I'm still not doing some of the moves 100% like the tough girl in the video :P

    Should I get the dvd as opposed to watching it on Youtube? Is there additional info on it?

    Thanks!

    Just my own experience. I started 30DS last Oct. Since then I've completed all JM DVDs - ripped in 30, Buns n thighs etc. I've gotten great results, in better shape than I've ever been (I do at least one every day). I've only ever had very mild ache after any of the DVDs.

    I bought them all, very cheap to buy all together on somewhere like Amazon. My broadband connection is too unreliable.

    I love (hate) Jillian

    Thanks so much for your kind offer! Turns out my sister in law actually has it and isn't using it because she's pregnant so said I could take it, but thanks again for your offer :)

    Hi Cerulean Chicken. I've been thinking about starting this myself. Can I ask you what weights you are using? My upper body strength is pretty poor so would probably need to start easy. I'd be interested to know if there is any difference between the dvd & YouTube. I'm thinking of watching it on YouTube but I don't have a lot of room around me where my PC is.

    I'm using 1.5kg weights for now but that's because I have some problems with my neck and shoulder muscles so don't want to overdo it. I read that 3-5kg is what is mostly used, but start with what you can comfortable do. I won't be able to actually watch the dvd for at least a few days, just Youtube for now, so don't know of any differences yet.

    Doing this for over a year. There are easier things when you will easily use 5kg,some 1.5.
    Defo great routine, try Ripped in 30 for a bit of challenge.
    I do two at a time and love it

    How is everyone getting on at this? I just started today, I'm sceptical that it's only 20 mins long but I guess it's better than sitting on the couch!

    Have you actually done it today? If you've given it 100%, I doubt you'd be sceptical still or think 20 minutes wasn't long enough! It has an enduring popularity for a reason, as it really does what it promises. After some health issues in the last 2 months left me unfit and with a few extra pounds, I started back on this. I'm on day 7 at the minute and am determined to remain committed to doing one session every day. There is lots of literature on this kind of high intensity training.

    One word of advice, the morning after day 2, your muscles will be killing you but work on through it, keep going with day 3 and you'll see results quickly, maybe less on the scales but definitely on your fitness, strength and inches, your clothes won't be as tight etc. Best of luckx.

    Jillian Michaels is a legend.
    are these DVD's suitable for men too or are they just fro women.
    i would love to try them out. i have been looking them up on amazon and they are resonably priced.
    would they be suitable for someone that is really overweight and pretty unfit.

    Have been doing level 1 for the past 8 days and am going to go up to level 2 on Monday. It's fantastic and maybe it's in my head but I can feel results already. Is that possible?

    Sure.. why not? All depends on your fitness level
    You can make it as hard/easy as you want, that's why this workout is so great
    Keep it going, well done

    Bumping a zombie thread, I know, but it seems to happen a lot for this thread so I won't start a new one! Thinking of starting this soon because A) my fitness levels are at an all-time low, B) I can't afford a gym membership, and C) I can never motivate myself to exercise outside when it's raining :D.

    What would I need for this? An exercise mat? Weights?

    To be honest, at the very start you will only need an exercise mat and even at that, depending on the surface you will be exercising on, that may not be necessary. I believe that the DVD is available on YouTube you could do a quick scan and see for yourself what you think you need.

    Vids available on Vimeo. I used weights (3 kilos only) and I didn't have a mat, just my wooden floor and it was grand.


    Did my knee in doing it, so go easy on yourself. Good luck!
