I thought I was going to die first time I did level 1. Little did I know. I genuinely thought I was having a heart attack. I had to stop because my heart rate was pounding, I felt sick and dizzy and my vision went blurred. I lay on the floor of my hotel room with my mobile in my hand in case I had to call an ambulance. Entirely futile, as there is no signal in the room I'm in! I don't even know why because I couldn't do a lot of it. Why did nobody warn me that you have to be able to plank for level 2? Hmm? All you dedicated shredders and nobody mentions it! And the moves are much more complex and I have no co ordination. I don't know if I will ever be able to transition to level 2. Has an in coordinated klutz with no core strength ever managed it?

I've just finished Day 6 of Level 1...was just congratulating myself on getting through the whole 20 minutes without stopping, and for the first time imagining a day when I might be ready for Level 2.

What is 'being able to plank'? Have just googled in panic but can't find anything.

I'm on day 4 of level 2. I was so not prepared for the jump in difficulty from Level 1. I kept meaning to come on here and warn people/see if anyone felt as tired as me! Sorry I didn't get here on time to warn you. Ho

Even a few days in I am practically crying at the end of level 2. (I say practically - days 1 and 2. I actually was crying! Haha.

Level 2 is definitely more aerobic than Level 1 and Level 3, I actually find Level 3 easier in many ways.

Keep going because it does become easier. In a couple of days you will be wondering what the problem was.

You will get there! Just keep at it.The transition is hard I know, but the only way to get stronger is to repeat.

Try looking on youtube for demonstration of the plank. Amazing exercise for your core/abs.

I've done it twice and.... Well the plank is a bit of a disaster . My hands just slip on the carpet and I can't seem to hold it at all.

Also, I'm not losing weight this week I don't know why. I am being so strict about diet and alcohol and doing shred every day. What's going on??

I can finally join a thread about the shred...! having been doing level 1 for a week. I'm not going up to level 2 anytime soon - I can't do pressups even in the "easy" position, and also I'm waiting for some weights I've sent off for to arrive, so I can do level 1 properly.

But anyway I looked up plank here (possibly - is this right?)

twopinkshoes I have never lost weight through shredding, I have, however, lost inches, and that's the important bit. The fat turns to muscle, which is heavier. Get out the measuring tape and measure yourself every fortnight.

world is right BUT and this annoys me as I have too much time on my hands

a 1lb of muscle cannot weigh more than 1lb of fat

1lb is 1lb no matter what it is BUT

1lb of muscle takes up less space as it is denser than 1lb of fat which is floblier

So if you exercise and turn the fat into lean muscle then you will look a lot slimmer but the scales will remain the same if you don't restrict what you eat.

It really does not matter what you weigh,throw the scales out the window and learn to gauge your weight by how your clothes feel and look on you



sorry if I was bossy,see disclaimer of sorts above

Lol. I do appreciate I must be gaining muscle but I am also doing Dukan, being so very careful about diet and even forgoing my beloved glass of wine with dinner.... And so am feeling frustrated. I want to lose weight AND fat.

Going to do shred in an hour. Am tempted to add davina in afterwards - if I don't keel over on the floor that is!!

I am thinking of attempting a modified level 2 - so easy press ups instead of walking press ups (because I frankly dn't care about toned shoulders), and maybe more jumping jacks instead of the plank jumpy squat things, but trying the other exercises? Thoughts?

Loving the shred so far, started in the New Year, dreading level 2 though!

Quick question - would anyone please link or recommend the weights that they use? I'm a little tired of using tins of haricot beans and would like something perhaps double the weight. TIA

Jillian Michaels developed the 30 Day Shred in 2008. It is a DVD containing three different total body workouts. The idea is that you can begin to change your body if you commit to working out for a half hour every day.


After doing this workout and tracking my calories burned using my Fitbit Charge HR 2, I burned 228 calories in total. It was definitely an incredible total body workout and I felt it in my legs and arms the next day. This is a great workout to take along with you if you are staying at a hotel for a few nights or weeks and want to maintain your weight while on holiday!

This is definitely my favorite workout of the three! It is super challenging, focuses on strength-training and burns a ton of calories. In this level 2 30 day shred workout, I burned 266 calories in just over 27 minutes.
