Good job everyone on keeping up the Shredding! I finished Day 2 last night and it was a tad bit harder for me I think. Those side lunges with lateral raises KILL me! By the second set I am having to modify and only raise one arm at a time. I am using 3 lb weights right now. I think on some of the moves like the chest flys when laying down, I am going to start using my 5 lb weights because I don't feel it much with the lighter ones. I was sweating for sure when I got done with the whole thing. I log mine into the exercise log as "circuit training, general". I think that would be more accurate than just aerobics because of the strength training she has in there. What are everyone elses thoughts on this? Logging it as that gives me just over 200 calories burned. That's sounds about right, but I don't have a HRM to get accurate results. I also did another video last night for added cardio. I completed a 30 min walk & jog and boy, was I sweating when I got done!
I'm really enjoying reading everyone's responses to how they are doing! Before you know it, we are going to be several inches less of us. I'm not sure how everyone else is doing the levels, but I am doing 10 days each level.
Those lateral raises are kicking my butt also. I am using 5lb weights trying not to go down whew it's hard but that's just fear leaving the body I have to laugh when she say that. I am also doing it for 10 days each level and when I log it into the fit linxx system at the YMCA it gave me a lil over 200 cal and when I log it here under general Cardio circuit it's slightly higher so I am thinking at least 200 cals for sure in the 20mins!!0 -

Your not alone everything on me hurts and just think I signed up for a boot camp class today I am going to do the shred before I go because I don't know what condition I will be in when I get home!!0 -

Its a DVD program by Jillian Micheal's. It is a little under 30 minutes long with warm up and cool down. It is pretty intense. She does a short warm up, then 3 circuits, and a cool down. The 3 Circuits consist of 3 minute strength training, 2 minute cardio, and 1 minute abs, and then repeat a total of 3 times. There are 3 different levels, so I think most people are doing 10 days on each level. You should give it a try..............its a great short workout! I purchased it at Target or Walmart for $9, I think its well worth it, oh yeah, and you need dumbbells (about 3 lbs) and maybe a mat depending on your floors.0 -
Hi Ladies! I just did my second day. It was a little easier. I also worked out with a trainer this morning. I probably won't be able to move tomorrow! :sad:
Glad everyone is working through it! I hate those side lunges too....they kill my knee. May have to find a modification for that one. I also detest the jumping jacks! I can't believe she says she has 400 lb people do them. I weigh 270 and can barely do jumping jacks. I am now calling them F-ing jacks. :explode:
Keep posting your updates! I love reading them!0 -
cnbethea: Zumba and Shred, wow, how are you feeling?? That's great!!!! :drinker:
I just finished my 6th day for 30DS with 3 pound weights and then did a 2 mile walk, heart monitor gave me 250 calories burned after the shred and an extra 255 burned with the walk. 505 in 1 hour....I guess that's good. I honestly felt like doing nothing today and because of all the motivation from you all I did it and am glad I'm done for today. So THANK YOU!!!!
Is it me or do you ever feel like your working out more then your losing.........I hope these pounds start flying off because that's another part of motivation that I'd like to see more of.
Day 7 I'm ready for you tomorrow.........bring it on!!!!!!!!!

Awesome job Neeti especially since you werent in the mood!!! I know what you mean about the weight on the scale but with the shred and insanity don't get hung up on the scale as much but look at how your endurance has improve clothes are fitting better I say that because the inches may melt off faster:bigsmile: Which are still great things to look foward too!!
Today was a great day!!
D3L1 complete plus I got in 45 min boot camp and 30 min abs&more0 -
Day 3 down.
Burned more calories than yesterday, wasn't quite as sore.
Like Neeti, I didn't have much motivation today so my workout got bumped till this evening. And, I think I like it that way!
Baby was already asleep for the night and my Buddy was ready for a walk, so I got up from the shred and went right to walking. This kept my heart rate higher than when I just go walking, so I burned more calories
Turned out well~0 -
Day 1 Level 1 done!
Ready to get into it again tonight. Does any one know a standard calorie burn is for Level 1 then Level 2 then Level 3 so I can enter it in my log?
Starting stats:
SW- 158 lbs
Arms- 12.5
Chest- 41
Waist- 35
Hips- 39
Thighs- 23
Butt- 41
Hopefully in a few weeks these will be way down I have my bachelorette party in 16 days and we will be on a boat up north for a day so I want to feel comfortable with my girls! 0 -

Just enter it in your exercise log as circuit training under cardio. That should give you a pretty good estimate for your weight.
I am soooo tired today. I did a Walk Away the Pounds (with walking and jogging for 30 min) first last night. I put the kids to bed then came back and did Day 3, Level 1 30DS. I had such a hard time getting through those 20+ minutes! I'm not really sore today, just super tired. I could go home and sleep for half the day! :yawn:
Great job to those that are adding extra workouts on top of the Shred. And welcome to those who are just starting out with us. I love coming here everyday to read everyone's responses, motivation, and where we are struggling so we can get encouragement.0 -

That's awesome a win win situation Love it!!!!0 -
Day 4 L 1 complete plus a 30 min walk (debating if I will go to the gym tonight not really any classes I like but we shall see)
Have a great day everyone!!0 -
Day 4 done! Not too bad today. I actually felt more energetic. I guess my endurance is increasing. How is everyone doing?0
-
I'm doing pretty good! A little sore but keep doing it though Alot more engry as well!0
-
Is anyone having knee pain? I don't think its a serious injury or anything, but my knees have been hurting a lot during exercise, particularly during the side lunges w/ lateral raises (Level 1 Circuit 3).0
-
Thanks guys! It does get discouraging when the weight doesn't fly off but I am staying very focused, more focused then ever. But unfortunately today I just had a CRAP day. I was angry with my man, real angry and I just couldn't focus. Luckily I did do a cardio warm up for a few and then accomplished to finish the 30 Day Shred for today. But I actually feel better after my workout and I'm not mad at him anymore......well, at least not as mad. MEN!!!! Anyway, so as a confirmed post, finished DAY 7 with a warm up at 32 minutes and burned 253 calories. I'm going to promise myself that tomorrow I will make up for it.
Until tomorrow!!

Sorry for not actually posting in the topic. I'm running it all in a blog so the topic itself slipped my mind. I'm about to do day 4 (wow, time is flying) but I really feel it in my pecs, which is a problem area for me anyway.
I had a bad eating / lazy day today and this topic along with another helped push me towards my job, doing my ab video, my 300 crunches and soon to be my 30 day shred workout.
Does anyone else have trouble with the final set of crunchs? I guess I try to do them to fast and it never goes as smooth as it looks in the video. My obliques are a bad area for me as well but my ab video really works those, when I do it which will hopefully be daily.
So yeah, I haven't found 30 day shred to be getting easier but it's fun and once you hit the halfway point it zooms by.0 -

That last set of crunches kills me! They are so hard, and its hard to do them at such a slow pace. I took a class today at the gym and she had us do the same crunches and I about died again! Don't worry about it not going as smooth as it does in the video. I'm sure it was totally edited to make it look super easy! And we all know its not! Just hang in there and before you know it, all of us 30-day shredders will be pros!!!!!0 -
I started the 30 Day Shed. It was really difficult the first day for me and couldn't move the second day. I think I used muscles I haven't used in 20 years. I do my elliptical everyday, but that only uses so many muscles. I'm on Day 9 tomorrow and it has gotten easier, but I'm a bit worried about going to Level 2. I had to skip a few days to rest my muscles. You are suppose to do the first Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for 10 days, and Level 3 for 10 days!!!0

Whew! I had a terrible day of eating, well just one meal, but I had to add another video after shred tonight and I am whooped. It felt good though by the time we got to cool down. Went from one to the other again and burned a total of 721 calories in 65 minutes~
It's not getting easier per se, but I'm making it all the way through the sets.
@natbrat ~ my knees are hurting, but not from the lunges, its the jumping jacks and rope that are getting to me! I would suggest not going down as far and make sure your butt is going behind, which will help keep your knee in the right place.
@neeti ~ it's always good to take our agressions out in a healthy way like exercise. Gives you the mental release, dig into those punches!, and you feel better too Glad you were able to focus and get through it.
@mrsbatt ~ I bet as soon as we can do this level without being sore, it will be time to move on LOL
@wolverine ~ those last crunches make me shake! I have been tending to fall behind pace, but I know I am breathing in and out where I am sposed to, so quality over quantity. I may need a second run at this program to keep pace. Wow, not even through level one, and I'm planning for a second 30 days...
Good night all and good luck tomorrow~0 -
Tks for the encouragement it really helps get through it!0

Day 2 level 1 done last night and it was great! I would have done another one of my videos after it even but I had to go somewhere. But that makes me feel great cause I know nights that I have more time I can do that and a video after.
Everyone keep on going cause it does get easier, yes I only just finished day 2 on level 1 but I was able to get through all the first round of push ups and half of the second round strong which was way better than the first day!
Ready for day 3! And I even got my sister in law on it so we are on the same days which helps the motivation cause if she tells me she did it and I didn't it makes me want to do it. Not a competition or anything but it keeps me motivated and giving me the extra push to do it everyday. Awesome!0 -
Hi everyone! I completed day 4 last night. I almost didn't do it though. My knee and my ankle have been bothering me a little and I think it's because of the jumping jacks too. I am noticing that my endurance is getting better. During the butt kicks, I can actually pick up my feet instead of barely bringing them off the floor. :laugh:
I had a bad lunch too, but it was all within my calorie goal, so all is good, right? LOL. I really really need to work on my water intake. The only thing I have been counting on my food tab is plain old water. I've only been getting in about 3 glasses/day.
I actually have a little more energy today, so the working out is starting to pay off.
Good job everyone!0 -
I am looking forward to the day when I wake up in the morning and Ouch is not my first thought. :ohwell:0

Hey everyone,
Neeti glad your feeling better now and great way to stick it out and get your workout in!! Your right men can definitely take you to another level mines was part of my 3mnth pitfall so glad to be bouncing back!! So getting it together after a few hrs is great!!
No pain no gain I say because my shoulder feels like it is totally out of the socket whew and those lateral raises are killing me!!
I sure hope the pain will be better by level 2 but probably different moves with some different pain:frown: but I guess as Jillian say to have the body change in such a short time this is what we have to go through!!
Day 5 completed
On a good note this week has been the best week I have had in months in 5 days I have worked out over 400 mins and I am totally stoked. It has been a while since I have been this motivated I am totally feeling on top of the world looking foward to weighing Monday and just in case the scale don't reflect my success I am going to continue to push foward I feel too good to let the scale stop me!!
Have a great weekend everyone!!0 -

I like your attitude!! Motivating me to go ahead and get mine done. That and the 400+ calorie deficit I will have in my food diary if I don't do it! :noway:0 -
cnbethea: Thanks so much! I feel weak saying that something like being upset with him gets me on the down slope but I want to learn from it and hopefully everytime I get upset I do the opposite and work it out. I'm glad that you got through it. You're definitely Rocking It Now!!! YOU GO!!!!! I hope I'll be able to keep up with Insanity with you after the 30 days. I skimmed through and peaked at Level 2 of the 30 Day Shred and it looks harder and Level 3 even harder then that. But I'm going to think positive and pray that by the time the 30 Days is over I'll have better endurance and be able to do it.
MamaDaisyJ: Thanks!!! You're right, taking out my anger in a healthy way like working out is the best thing for me and I feel better afterwards. I used to eat when I got angry now I'm working out.....finally the right direction!!!! YAY!!!
Well I got through today with a much better workout finally, Day 8 of the 30 DS plus a 3 mile walk. Not bad for me I guess. The heart monitor says 561 calories burned. Much better for me then yesterday.
I have to say that with all the inspiration from everyone it makes this better! Thank you to everyone!!!!
