Not there yet but thinking...what do people do when they finish the shred? I don't want all that work to be for not...I've thought about doing each level on alternate days but I'm sure I'll get bored.

I also have JM's wii 2010 fitness ultimatum...might be something though not as motivating...do people just move on to one of her other dvd's? what's the verdict?

After 30 day shred I did ChaLean Extreme and I LOVE IT! I think getting bored is a real concern so I'd agree with your strategy to pick something else. (You can always re-do 30DS later on.)

she has a work out called 6 week 6 pack. its pretty challenging, and the moves will also help tone other parts of your body. very light on cardio. i believe its on demand on exercise tv if you want to check it out first

I'll have to figure out something until Ripped in 30 comes out March 1st...see some familiar moves and other stuff that has me sweating just watching!

I've been using the 30 DS for about 10 months, actually, but I use it as part of an overall rotation. I include a couple of her other DVDs (No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, and Yoga Meltdown) as well as some old Turbo Jam DVDs I have. I've also used a couple of the Firm DVDs. All of the DVDs I have I've gotten at Target or Wal-Mart.

To be honest, "rotation" makes it sound like I have a planned out schedule. I definitely don't. On any given day I see what video I haven't done in a while, and do that one. Hey, it works for me! And it has the added benefit of keeping me from getting too bored with any one DVD.

Another tip a friend shared with me: Put the video on mute, and listen to some good music while you're working out. I love Jillian, but there's only so many times I can listen to her say the same thing - ditto for any instructor out there.

I rotate between Shred, Biggest Loser Boot Camp, biggest Loser Cardio Max (older one) and Biggest loser sculpting so i never get bored with a work out

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Due to some work commitments my last 10 days seem to be taking much longer but now I think I only have 6 days left...just in time to meet my birthday goal before going on a work trip for 2 days.

Not sure what I'll do but I know Wal-mart had a good selection of BL dvds a few weeks ago so may go back and check it out.

I rely on 30DS on the days I haven't allowed myself 30 or 40 minutes to work out. Level 3 still makes me break a sweat and wish it was over!

There are lots of dvds out there
Actually, after 30 day shred I quit Curves, bought more dumbbells and kept doing dvds!
*Jackie Warner has some good dvds out there, her extreme one is a good circuit training one
*Jillian has several out there including a kettlebell dvd, a yoga dvd
*Bob Harper has some new good ones. I have his Power Strength, cardio rev (or something like that) and just got his yoga for the warrior today
*Billy Blanks has Tae Bo dvds
*There are other instructors that I don't have, but there is a Ripped series I think? For advanced people there is the P90x series

I'm planning on rewarding myself with a couple more of JM's dvds and then working them into the week. At the moment, I think I'll probably get BFBM and NMTZ and I'll start by replacing two shred workouts a week with them. I want to get the YM, too, but I think I'll end up not getting it now and making it my reward for next month along with Ripped in 30.

I recently (as in Sunday) bought NMTZ..Ive been using 30DS for about a year on and off...the NMTZ is tough..you'll definately feel it the next day, but I HIGHLY recommend it
