Good morning lovely ladies,

It's time for a new challenge.
Who would like to join me?
I'm thinking about starting Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred (or Ripped in 30; I have both videos but 30 DS is available for free on youtube)
Here is the link to the free video for 30 DS on youtube.com

(That's Level I; Level II is below)

Unfortunately, Level III you have to pay for, but I figured you can always repeat Level II to complete the 30 days... (It still works well, I have done it in the past)
Let's do it! Your new improved beautiful body is waiting for you!
;)
Who's with me?

    That is so funny, I just did Level 1 last night and then I stumbled across this thread. Happy I did! :wink:

    I'll be joining you!

    Today will be Day 2 for me. Should we include the day were on in each of the posts?

    (30 Day Shred: Day 2), something like that?

    My goal is to do 30 minutes of exercise 6x a week. This coming from a run/walker 2-3x a week girl. Wish me luck! Tonight I'll be doing Level 2. :D Never done it before.

    Day 1 done!
    I decided to go with Ripped in 30 but both programs are similar.
    Since I don't have 30 days left until I need to fit into my bikini

    Odd, it only posted some of my reply...
    Anyway, I will have to double up on some days especially if I want to take Sundays off as my rest days. I forgot how much I sweat during that workout but it feels good!

    I am on Level 2 Day 5... Its getting really disheartening as im not seeing any results yet but I am just going to keep going and see what happens.

    Don't lose hope! The program really works. The changes might be very subtle at first but your muscle definition will definitely improve. To be honest, when I did it in the past I don't remember if I was losing weight from the workout per se since I was doing other things as well - including the changes to my diet habits. I did notice however that my bottom lifted, my arms got more sculpted look, my abs more defined and legs slimmer.
    Best of luck!

    30 Day Shred: Day 1

    Technically this is my second day doing it but the first time I didn't have weights and missed about half of the workout due to trying to figure out the moves and my dogs harassing me. So I decided that was my dress rehearsal!

    I definitely had a SERIOUS sweat going and was sore after, it felt great. I had already walked/ran 2 miles with my dogs earlier this morning so that added to it.

    My plan is to do it every day, unless I am sore, then I will take a day off. So depending on how sore I get I may be doing it every other day.

    Did everyone take before photos?

    Great work!
    I did day 2 of level 1 Ripped in 30 and boy, am I sore! I guess I forgot I had some of those muscles and here I thought I was in a good shape!

    I also didn't think about taking photos but I will try to remember tomorrow.

    All right. A little hesitant about posting a photo of my imperfections but here it is.
    Ripped in 30- Level I - Day 4
    Obviously my back and those "love handles in the back" need to disappear. I am sort of happy with the tummy and sides.

    @vnukinga holy crap you are already ripped! You are going to look amazing when your done with the program!

    I am also 5'2'' I weigh 122 so we have very similar stats! You are much more defined than I am though. Great stomach!
