If it's June it must be Jillian - all Shreddees and other Jillian devotees check in here!

Just completed Day 1 - forget how hard it is! Third try at completing the 30 days - got to Day 18 on last attempt. Must succeed as beach holiday next month (panic!).

Thanks Imogen. Hi cookie, sycamore and other shredders. I have just finished Level 1. Am trying to keep up with Natalie - I find it ok apart from the press-ups which are a killer.

Can I join? I've had my Shred DVD since January but never done. In fact only just out of its cellophane. I'm on a June mission, so will give it a go later.

No vest tops here either! Mon is my Pilates and walk miles round town day though so am just wearing out my feet going to yet another medical appointment. Thankfully for the feet no strappy sandals either.

I really struggled with 30DS as I have no upper body strength whatsoever, and have somewhat dodgy joints, so I have bitten the bullet, swallowed my pride, and decided to start off with the beginner shred every day in June before moving on the 30DS. I had a go without weights the other day, and with the cardio ramped up the more advanced level (proper jumping jacks) I think it's going to be at about the right level to start off with, and get me properly into habit of doing strength training, which is the sort of exercise I enjoy least.

PS sorry for thread hogging in my enthusiasm. Can I give a tip for those starting for the first time? On the various jumping moves, especially the skipping rope, make sure you bring your heels all the way down to the ground as you land each jump, otherwise you will get horrendously tight and painful calf muscles. I learned this the hard way!

And I'm back with day 9 level 1 complete. My personal triumph today was managing to do both sets of pressups properly Anita-style for the first time - previously I would do a few on my knes and then need to shove my butt up in the air to do box pressups to get through. Amazing to see such progression in less than a fortnight. I am in awe of anyone who follows Nataliefor those.

30DS is working really well for me because I think I have it really part of the daily routine. My baby wakes for the day very early so I get dressed in gym gear, set up my mats and weights after he has his breakfast, put the dvd I ready to go. Then the second he goes down for his first nap, I automatically hit it without needing to think, no excuses for procastination. I love that it is only 20 minutes, and by the time you finish strength on circuit 2, you are halfway through.

Another new face, reporting for shred duty! I am about to hit day 9 of level 1 of the 30DS - I lurked on your May thread and feel I shoild join in now. My goals are to shift the final few kilos of pregnancy weight - little boy is now almost ten months old and I had post-natal complications that meant I couldn't walk more than about ten steps for the first three months after he was born. I am now back fully mobile and ready to get back to my old figure too.

I am just waiting for him to do his morning nap, I already have the dvd set up and ready to hit play, and I hope to report that I have completed day 9 soon.

Just did day one of level 1 of the 30 day shred. I couldn't do loads of it. Please tell me that's normal!

Checking In!

NMTZ again last night. Oo my abs!

Blonder are you starting tomorrow? I might join you with the shred if I can survive it ;)

I keep seeing these threads and I never post so this month I'd like to join in please. I haven't done any Jillian for a while so I think I am going to do the Shred again

June already, oh my days!!!! Vest top weather is almost upon us and I WILL be proud of my arms this summer thanks to Jillian.
