Who wants to do Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred with me?

kvanwaeyenberge

I started today and was a little bit shocked at how out of shape I am towards the end I was groaning and gasping like I was about to keel over and die... Having my husband as a very amused audience didn't help any. Anybody want to do the challenge with me?? I plan on taking before and after pictures, very curious to see if there will be a significant change. I have a wedding coming up and my goal is to fit in the dress that I have in my profile picture (18lbs ago). Feel free to add me as a friend, that way I'll feel less all by my lonesome

I'll do it with you....I can start tomorrow. You won't be alone

Awesome good luck! I think what makes it easier to stick with it is that you KNOW it's only 25 min so even when you feel like you're done you always find that little burst of energy because you know the end is near

Where do you find the workout?

I've done this workout before and it's both tough and fun. I was thinking of starting it again soon to mix things up a bit.

I bought it on amazon prime but I hear they're on YouTube?? I was thinking of moving on to another of her workouts when I was done with this one... Slowly work my way up to the insanity work outs Iwebsmfp; when you first tried this, did you see results? And did you take rest days??

Yes! I got the dvd for $9 at best buy but it's online in random places too

I'll do It I can start tomorrow

Great! I started yesterday with small weights and am a little bit sore but better than I thought I would be it's hard enough to be challenging but not so hard you want to give up right away

Level 1 Day 2 today... The first couple of minutes were really hard, my calves were killing me! But pushed through and do glad I did, after a shower I feel fantastic!

I'm gonna start tomorrow! Finals week coming up so it'll be the perfect way to procrastinate.

Just so you know I heard a good step up after would be body revolution by jm then she has her new program body shred there is also killer body which is like a preview of what is in the body shred program those are comparitive with insanity as they are 90 day programs and similar in price and as many dvds too. There is a thread on here somewhere I think in success stories with pics on body revolution she had amazing results!.

I'll start tomorrow.

I'm on Day 5 of level 2 of the shred. I did it after my first baby and it really helped me lose the weight and now I'm doing it after my second baby to help me lose that last stubborn 13 pounds! If you stick to it and combine it with a healthy low fat eating plan it really does work, I'm 10 pounds down now and it's all been done at a healthy pace. What I would say though is don't be too hard on yourself if you need to take the odd day off. I know it says do 30 days straight but I've had the odd day off and actually felt better for a day of rest. Also, I could barely make it through level 1 when I started it and was shocked and appalled at how unfit I was, well now I can steam through level 2 (which is a killer!!). So, that's my long winded way of saying stick at it, it really does get results and your strength and stamina will improve so quickly. But there's a part of the level 2 when Jillian says "I want you to feel like you're gonna die" and I seriously did, I wanted to punch the TV

Just about to start Level 1 Day 3! Totally off topic but I just baked a marinated turkey from Aldi's Active Fit Brand, so good! Try it if you haven't already my husband is licking off his plate

kvanwaeyenberge

Thanks Steph for the feedback! Looking forward to the same results

It is available on youtube for free. They've started a new 'fitness' channel so all three work outs are available on there if you just search Jillian Michaels 30 day shred week 1.


Also, im on day 3 of the challenge. It's rough. lol

I started 3 weeks ago with another MFP friend. We are on level 2 and I think some of the exercises are a bear!! I have several of JM DVDs and I usually add a few circuits from her No More Trouble Zones dvd or her Burn Fat, Boost metabolism dvd after finishing the 30 min of the 30 day shred dvd. Those two are great because you can do the entire 40 min dvd or just pick a few circuits. I definitely feel stronger! I didn't loose much the first two week but this week I sure did! I have 7 more days of level 2.

Level 1 Day 1 completed. I'd finished this a long time ago. Thought I would just wiz right through it...ah, nopey, nope! Kicked my hinny this afternoon! Can't wait for tomorrow and the complaining muscles.

I also got a 5 mile walk done with my DH and our grandpuppy this morning along with another challenge. I'll be doing the same tomorrow.

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.

I started this two weeks ago...finished level 2, day 6 this morning. Feel so much better doing something...this is the longest that I have done any exercise program. Wish you all the best of luck.

kvanwaeyenberge

Going to do level 1 day 5 today... This is also the longest I've stayed with a program since Billy Blanks Bootcamp came out hoping to see some results! The workout still kicks my butt but at least I'm no longer sore the next day

lorim385

I'd like to join as well! I could really use the support and motivation here. I just did Level 1 Day 1. I hope we can all get through the 30 days and share our results!

Maryam352

I'm a little bit late but yeh I'v also started the shred workout and I'm on day 10 level 1. I did have 2 rest days because I felt exhausted as I play football 2/3 times a week and I go to the gym 3 times a week. I have to say I have already noticed a difference in just the first week

cpanus

Got L1 D2 done! Also walked 5 miles and did my other challenge. It was a good Sunday!

kvanwaeyenberge

Wasn't able to do the work out yesterday had people over for a BBQ and by the time we were done and I finished some work it was 11pm so I went to bed... Only to wake up at 3.30am with my ) month old so kinda glad I did oh well, will do it tonight and some treadmill action to bake up for yesterday!

cpanus

Got L1 D3 done along with a total of 7.89 miles for 17,236 steps. Got my other challenges done, also.

My daughter was awarded her doctorate degree this afternoon! We get to call her Darling Dr. Daughter now!! So proud! She worked so hard for this day!!

Rest Day...actually DD and I are going to the gym for a session with our trainer. I think we'll probably cover everything JM would want us to cover!! I did walk 5 miles with my DH and grandpuppy, Bean, this morning.
