Hi ladies Is the dvd available here. Do you think its go for just toning up. I dont want to lose any weight. Thanks I am doing it for toning and muscle definition rather than weight loss. I am also only on Day 5. I ache so I am hoping that means I am toning up :) It is not available here but you can get it via download or Amazon unless you know someone who has a copy here or someone who knows someone with a copy ;)

vodkapops I'm only on day 5 so I can't say definitively it'll tone you up but I think since there is multiple muscles involved that you would see some toning, and it will help you get fit(ter). If you're just looking to tone up why don't you try something like pilates or callanetics, or weights if you have acess to a gym? There are heaps of pilates DVDs out there too, I use winsor pilates.

It's called the 30 Day Shred by Jillian Michaels. She is the trainer on the tv program, The Biggest Loser. Have a google, it's good because it's only 20 mins a day for 30 days (or 27 mins perhaps!), come back if you've got Q's. You just need runners and some small hand weights although I've heard of people using cans of food!

Do you need weights with this for level 1, and if so how much? Can you do it without sneakers? Thanks 1kg weights would be fine and you do need sneakers.

Well done for the 5am start Cyclone! I also did Day 4 today, feel it's getting *slightly* easier but still feel my thighs and calves just strolling the mall. Good on you Noddy and Frannie, you've done it before you know it works. See you all tomorrow!

I got the DVD ages ago and have done level 1 on and off but after the Christmas bingeing I was determined to start again. I completed day 3 of level 1 today and intend to keep it up til all 30 days done, consecutively this time! Have done a weigh in and know I am well overweight so along with running and sensible eating am hoping this will work. it is tough though rolling out of bed and seeing Gillian ready and waiting!

Proud to say I did all of level 1 and three days of level 2 before Christmas and it definitely gets easier (and gets results). Sadly aprox 4 tonnes of mince pies have undone the good work so level two is recommencing tonight! Level 2 is considerably harder but much lower impact on the knees and hips. Hubby and I are also starting a detox today - I need to shift about a stone of baby weight. Photos of me from Xmas are not pretty! Good luck all x

Yes she does have that knack! "The neck's not invited to this party" is crucial to me at the abs, plus it gives me a much needed giggle....let's see if I still am amused on Day 10 though!

I did Day 3 today also. We have the same weak spot as the second repetition of the side lunges is killing me too. But Day 3 means we are 10% done :) [i'>And she has the knack of saying the right thing at the right time. [/i'>
