Anyone tried it? I have the normal 30 day shred but it's too hard for me at the moment

I've started doing the level one 20 minute work outs (just finished one now!) I'm not doing it every day yet though. And I keep swapping the weights I'm using. I'm planning to start doing it every day from 1st March- in prep for my holiday on the 1st April!
I dread to think what level 2 is like!
I'm also using my nutribullet for one meal a day.

I've just realised you meant a different 30 day shred DVD. (Googled it!)
Looks good- have you bought it?

Not yet! Was hoping someone could feedback. I've got the normal 30 day shred but I had major surgery few years ago and my energy levels have never been the same. I have made it through level 1 but get really exhausted so thought I would build up with the beginners version initially

I'm aching all over today- there is no way I can do it again today!
I'm thinking I'll look into the beginners version too!

Lol great. Let's hope someone comes along.. I could just order it but want to know if there is an actual difference between the two, and if there is then how easy is beginners

Beginner Shred is good. Definitely easier on the joints than the original. I enjoyed it, still found it challenging, because I am currently v unfit. I can't manage to do the original 30DS at the moment because of issues post pregnancy. I saw definite improvements in stamina a few days in. I think Jillian is a bit more encouraging too. I haven't got past level 1 yet, but I'm glad I bought it. It's definitely the level I currently need.

I love the Beginner Shred - it's not as hard on the knees and Jillian is a lot nicer and encouraging! Wish more people on here did it!

Recommend the Jessica Smith workouts on YouTube too. I'm working back up to some sort of fitness and these are perfect and really enjoyable. So many to choose from. I like that she does standing abs work, because my stomach is just not up to floor work just at the moment.

I've just bought Beginner Shred to start today! I did 30 Day Shred after having dd1 and got good results, now 9 months after having dd2 I need something a bit gentler to ease me back into fitness Smile
