Day 1 – My legs are like jelly
I was completely optimistic and motivated. See:
Even Margot was mesmerized (for the first five minutes and then began screaming):
I admit that I was a little worried when my arms started hurting during the warm-ups, and I nearly died during the push-ups, but overall, I made it through. My legs are a little wobbly and I admit that I'll be sore tomorrow.
But 20 minutes?! GENIUS!
Level 1: 3 pound weights

It gets easier, I promise. I haven’t done day 4 yet, but I already have more stamina and hurt less.
OMG!!! I did this at 5:30 am today. Day One – thought I might pass out 15 minutes in. Already a little sore. Thanks for the tip – it’s also on OnDemand on Cox cable.
You look so determined in that first pic. And Margot should be shredding with you, that little chub-bub.
LOOK AT THOSE CHEEKS!
You look better than I did after finishing my first Shred. Actually, you look better than I do right now after having completed another day of Level 1.
Congrats on making it through day one!
(And when you have time, can you add my code name? Thx!)
Thanks so much for pointing this out to me. I’m struggling with Uterine fibroid tumors and need to increase my exercise to break them down and keep them from coming back. And of course if I drop a few (40 pounds) in the bargain, so much the better. This is a perfect fit for me.
It damn well better get easier!
It gets easier — but never easy…. I could hardly walk after my first day!
So I know you’re not tech support, but this button will not show up on my page! Is there something wrong with the link?
Still not working.. oh well haha I’ll figure it out one day! Thanks for your help!
Okay, so I ordered the video from Amazon just now. It’s been sitting in my cart for like, a month. Am kind of scared. But am also tired of this 20lb. tire I carry around my waist like an swimming tube.
The shredding, it scares me. I need to do something but I am fearful. Hopefully watching you all do this will motivate me-or make me run screaming for the hills-I am hopeful for the motivation though.
The button isn’t working for me either, but with my (lack of) skillz, I doubt it’s the button.
Is it wrong that I find Jillian Michaels kind of hot?
I love it when she yells at me. ROWR.
And I nearly kissed her when she said “ass” during the Level 1 workout.
By day two, you’ll be seriously considering standing up to pee.
i give up on the button.. Please still add me to your list..
I seriously thought I was going to die that first time. It gets less “I totally want to die right now” but so far it still ain’t easy. I’ve been doing it about a month and a half, but not every day.
Couldn’t agree more on 20 minutes being genius. That is the best motivator for this workout! Good job with the 3 lb weights throughout, you are stronger than me.
First step – bought the video!
Just did day one. Was ok 2 hours ago. Starting to hurt now…
[...] take the 30 Day Shred. After the first day, I was unbelievably sore. And it only got worse for the next 3 [...]
