Hi Everyone!

I started the 30 day shred on Friday. Today is my 3rd day. I joined the group for a bit of support really. I am feeling positive and a bit sore!

How is everyone doing with the shred?

Thanks for reading.:smile::happy:

    Welcome! I think you'll find trhis a very supportive group. I'm on level 3 now, and this group has really helped me keep going! Keep up the great work!
  • Thanks! How did you find the levels? Are you happy with your results so far? I can't wait to see the results at the end! What made you decide on doing the 30 day shred?

    I hated all levels the first few workouts! I start each level by doing mostly Anita moves, and add a Natalie move each day. I did level 2 for 12 days as I didn't feel I had mastered enough moves. I don't do the workout everyday, usually just 4 times a week. I'm working on maintaining now, and have been happy with my results. My legs have firmed up and I have ab defintion now. I love that I don't feel as much 'jiggle' now!

    I decided to do 30DS after seeing others results on MyFitnessPal. I like Jillian, too. Sometimes the banter going on with her girls is annoying, but she seems to know when you're ready to rest and talks you through it.

    Hello welcome to the 30 day shred:) lol
  • Thanks :-) I'm on day 4 and I was able to do some of the difficult workouts on level 1 so I'm happy with myself.

    I was wondering did you just do the shred or did you do other workouts as well? Also did you have any rest days?

    I take rest days, but don't count them towards the 30 days. It will take me almost 7 weeks to finish the 30 days. On days I don't do the 30DS workout, I do cardio (run, walk, eliptical) and some ab exercises. On days I do the workout, I try to get in a 30 minute walk or (slow) run as well. Basically, I try to get in 60 minutes of exercise, 6 days per week. (My cardiologist's orders!)

    Congrats on doing some of the tougher moves!
  • Wow you do a lot! I was thinking of doing more stuff at home, I have also joined something called legs, bums and mums in the local park. I want to lose at least 66lbs. I've lost 17lbs so far. I know it's a lot to lose but I've had enough of being big!

    Welcome to the Shred. I've been meandering my way through it since the end of April. The most I do it is 3 days a week in part due to knee and back problems. I've been swimming 2 days a week as well and on weekends, I'm very active with outdoor chores. So, I've had lots of rest days and I did Level 1 probably 15 times before I moved onto Level 2. I've tried to complete 30DS before but couldn't get through L2. This time I was doing L1 with 5lb weights and that got me strong enough to be able to do L2! I've done L2 8 times and will do it between 2 and 5 more times before moving up to L3. It's a little rough on my knees but I feel like it works my whole body and has been great in toning up my tummy. Good luck!
  • Hi everyone!

    I have just finished level one! I weighed myself this week and I hadn't lost any weight so I was a little demoted on Friday but I kept at it and measured myself today. I have lost 5.5 inches on my body from level 1 :-)

    Hope everyone is doing well with their shreds and having a lovely weekend!

    Xx

    Well done for loosing those inches.:-)

    The lack of weight loss on the scales is most probably because you have started to build muscle.
    Forget the scales, I now have mine put away and planning to weigh myself on the first of the each month.
    I haven't weighed myself since 1st June and I am DESPERATE to see what the scales will say.
    Each month I also measure and do BF% with callipers.

    Keep up the great work.
    I'm on L1 D3 today.
