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

I did level 2 again yesterday after a very long break from it - I actually quite like it - the skater jumps get better, honest! I can do pretty much everything at Natalie level with maybe a little slacking on the squats, coming up a bit higher.

I'm only doing a Shred once a week (though if I can squeeze one in on Fri or Sat that will be good as I can't go swimming tomorrow). But I may get bored of the same three levels rotated soon. What else is pretty short?

Who-hoo, onto level 2, day 1 complete. I had forgotten how uncoordinated level 2 makes me feel with the skater jumps I particular. It really felt tough today but I am hoping that a few days into it will see me much more able for it - if I am honest, my second set of plank jacks were pretty unimoressive due to feeling collapse was imminent! I'm looking forward to getting close to the end of level two and blithely feeling like I can follow Natalie all the way through.

Level 1 day two done. Don't think it was any easier today. Can't believe some of you use 4 kg weighs!

I done level 1, day 1 earlier, how many days in do people usually start seeing results?

Ok I didn't do it today. Need to get up early tomorrow. Someone please make me!

I'm definitely feeling a little bit sore from yesterday. Still managed to motivate myself to do 30DS L1D2 though.

Off to take some photos now so I can see what a difference it makes

Beagle I've just started shred it with weights, nice to see someone else doing it also. I have a 4kg kettle bell but have thought I could possibly need a heavier one for some of the moves but maybe I'll just stick to 4! Cant get the hang of those windmill moves where you have to lunge backwards lie down and get back up again. How long do you plan to stick with level 1 before you move up? Have to say I've enjoyed this more than normal shred.

Shred it with Weights Level 1 done with a 6kg kettlebell instead of 4kg. I can barely type this, my arms are shaking soooo much. What on earth will they be like in the morning

Am also doing 30DS, thought I was pretty fit from seeing PT week, but OMG level 2!! I had to drop my weights down to 1.5kg (compared to my latest PT session where I used a combination of 4, 5, 8 kg free weights and 8kg kettle bell...). My only concern is that to try to complete the circuit, I need low weights, but then I don't ache the next day. I've started swapping weights dependent on which exercise I'm doing, as have now done 4 days on L2, so hopefully I'll be able to do them all with the higher weight by day 10. Terrified for what L3 will bring...

Day 2 and i got up too late to do it. Will try again tonight but I know I'm. More motivated in the morning

Day 2 done! Thanks for the tip about keeping heels down during jump rope - really felt the difference in my calves.

Anyone else worry they're going to get dread lurgy at any moment and have to drop out? Probably my lazy brain trying to sabotage efforts!

Other than that, feeling really positive about completing this time, even though long way to go. Keep up the good work, everybody!

I did feel knackered at the end of each bit but it was how I expected if you know what I mean? Definitely need heavier weights although the push ups have actually killed me as I discovered a moment ago when I tried to take my cardigan off!
Good idea about the photo although the first one will be well hidden from anyone else!!

Hi Inkle, I reckon it definitely works any time I have stuck with it before. If you are finding that you are taking it all in your stride, you do need to get heavier weights or push it more on the cardio, it won't have the same effect at all if you are coasting through it. It is supposed to be high intensity, so as you come to the end of each move, you should feel as though you could barely manage a single one more. If you are in day 1, go take a photo of yourself stripped down to shorts and bra and you will definitely see a change by 26 June. You can lose a few pounds from it but the main effect is definitely improving body shape and making you look better, clothes looser, etc rather than numbers dwindling on the scales.

I did L1D1 yesterday. Wasn't too bad although I did the easier option for push ups, I may never be able to do them properly!

Tell me how it has worked & changed your life! I go on holiday on 26th June & need to be a bit more toned - will it work so quickly??

Day 10 complete - "well on my way to being shredded!" ;)

I almost cried off as baby woke three times last night but I'm delighted I pushed myself to do it instead of joining him for a nap! Moving up to level 2 tomorrow. Thrilled I managed to do all my pressups Anita-style again - it's my personal little victory. Even on level 2, I think I might force myself to include a set of pressups at the end to maintain my momentum.

Loving this thread for accountability already.

Glad to hear other people found it really hard too. I'm on 500 weights at the moment but better than nothing. Showed me how weak my arms are.

My legs are slowly starting to get sore so god knows how I will move tomorrow. I've got out my exercise clothes and mat though and am ready to do it again tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the new thread Imogen.

Still plugging away at 30DS but only twice a week; may try NMTZ for my 40 min conditioning day though; and in preparation for my 10k in 7 weeks, am also running 3 days per week.

Have left L1 30DS and moved on to L2. Am finding it much harder, not least because it needs more room and my feet keep slipping on the carpet. Need to go down to 1kg weights on the last strength session.

I do like her style of workouts though - the 20 mins go by quickly and I like the chatter. Couldn't do 30 days in a row though. Very impressed by those of you who can, and do!

a bit^ stiff (although I'm sure this will include my butt).

Haven't been here for ages - time to get back into it.

Just done L1D1 of 30DS. I think I might be a but stiff tomorrow

Checking in, thanks for the new thread Imogen.
No exercise today due to mega work shift to catch up after my week off, but NMTZ tomorrow.
TheBeagle - it does get easier and NMTZ is one of my faves!
Balonder - I have been doing JM workouts consistently since January and press ups are still my weakest move! I default to doing them on my knees more often than in full plank position .

Well done stars. 30 days seems like a big cosmic joke at this point doesn't it, but you CAN do it!

NMTZ done. God that "vicious plank circuit" just pisses me off. And the tricep kick-back circuit, well I'm snarling at the end of it.

I've just done my 1st ever Day 1. 30 days on the trot? My dog was very excited at me on "his" mat.
