**30 Day Shred (reviews)**

The Shred is broken down into 3 levels.  I did Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for 10 days and Level 3 for 10 days.  But you are told to move to the next level as you feel comfortable.  There are two other girls, one showing difficult moves and the other showing, modified "easier" moves (not that any of it is easy!)  The whole workout with warm up and stretching is about 26 minutes. 

My first description of this workout, is that it is HARD.  Every level is hard it it's own unique way.  I felt challenged every time I worked out. In each level there were moves that I HATED but I went through it because that's what this is all about, right?  I cannot believe I made it all 30 days, that is another difficult part - committing for 30 days.   But the good thing is, it is only 25 minutes, and they all go by FAST.

I now have definition where I didn't before. My husband has told me numerous times how proud of me he is, how "skinny" I look,  and the results speak for themselves.  I've gone down one size, lost 7.2 lbs and 7.5 inches!  It works, and I DO love Jillian Michaels now!  She's tough, but her program works.

During the past 30 days I have eaten very well. Lots of fruits and veggies, protein, and limiting junkfood.  There were a couple of weekends where I was not so great, but in the real world, I know I can't eat perfect all the time, so I'm happy that I saw results even with some slip ups on the weekends.  I tried my best to stay within 1500 calories per day.

I still have work to do, and lbs to lose, so I plan on doing C25K starting Monday, after 3 glorious days of rest!  I will also incorporate 2 days of weight training, for 5 days of workouts, and 2 days off.

If you're considering doing The Shred, I say DO IT!  You will be so happy with the results. Is it tough? Yes, but soooo worth it.  AND it's only 25 minutes per day.  I started when I was completely out-of-shape, so it was really hard at first.  After I have been running for a few weeks, I may do it again. I'm curious to see how it is after being in decent shape.
