Hi everyone!

So im doing the 30 day shred by Jillian Michaels im in Level 2 day 2 and i feel so awesome and lost inches! I was wondering if anyone would like to join me?(you wont regret).

I want you to be part of these and do the challenge with me(if you want) it doesnt matter that im in Level 2 you can start now. The 30 day shred to all of you who dont know what im talking about is an amazing workout and it was create by Jillian Michaels the awesome trainer of The Biggest Loser!!! The 30 Day Shred is a 20-minute workout that combines cardio with strength training and moves through three different levels of difficulty, 3 minutes of strength training, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs, you can do each Level in 10 days or you can pass level when you feel ready! Also they say if you want better results you can do it twice a day (but you dont need to). You can use a set of weights i recommend 3 pounds because they use 5 pounds and they are experts but if you want you can use anything i was using 8 lbs and i cant finish some workouts it was so hard so i bought 3lbs and is great! but you dont have weights you can use can or bottles ANYTHING!

We can put our measurements to compare our progress on day 1 and day 30. So what you say? In?

    I started the 30ds a couple weeks ago. By the time I got to day 4 my knees were really sore. When I got to day 5 they were killing me and I had to modify some of the high impact moves. I thought maybe I just had to push through the pain and my knees would get stronger, but when I got to level 2 I couldn't hardly move from sitting or go up or down my stairs. My husband was so mad at me because he kept telling me to stop but I didn't want to give up. I have pretty much come to the conclusion that I cannot finish it. I was going to wait it out and try again, but it has been a few days and I can still hardly do the stairs. I think I might have to give up, which is really hard for me to do.

    I loved the work out though. If you don't have bad knees you will probably love it too!

    Awww thats bad why dont you go to the doctor? We need to be very carefull with exercise and i read a lot of review of people telling that if they have problem with their knees not to do them. I do love im on day 3 level 2 and i think level 1 was more difficult but this is hard too!.

    I know, I plan on going soon since it isn't getting any better. It's actually worse.

    I totally understand and dont wait more time and go because your health is first!
  • I have that workout, but I have been doing hip hop abs, but ill go back to it

    You wont regret, believe me!!!!!
  • I agree with the knee thing. I run almost every day and it is no problem at all for my knees, but those lunges are a little painful. Not bad enough that the modification doesn't make it OK, but it is odd that I can run but not lunge!

    I am going next week. First I had to wait because of the doctor being away then they couldn't fit me in. I am hoping they will be fine by then though.

    I was doing it with a friend and she got hurt. Not from the Shred. She got a bruised rib by accident and so it's too painful for her to workout right now (she's walking though) but she's projecting she'll be better by next Monday, so I've decided to restart the shred then so we can do it together. And the truth is, I'm recovering from being ill, so doing the Shred last week was overdoing it a bit for me. I had dengue fever, which is pretty intense, and while I'm out the fever phase of it, it still effects your energy for up to three weeks afterwards, and by next week that window will be over.

    I was getting good results with the workouts I did, and I only did it a couple days. So I'm eager to see what results the 30 days will bring on my body.

    Tomorrow is my first day on Level 3 :D

    Wow level 3 already! Good for you!

    I am starting again. My doctor said it was OK because my knees are doing better, but to modify lunges. If they hurt again I will have to stop.

    I did hasfit routines, similar to shred, so I am not starting over, just starting level 2 over. I will probably do another round once I complete level 3.

    Yesss thank you. Have you tried Leslie Sansone walk away the pounds? is pretty awesome you just walk in your home 4 miles or 5, 3, 2 , 1, in youtube you will find her videos!

    Is good to hear that. Dont do the jumping jacks there is a way to do it i think without the jumping

    Yeah the jumping jacks killed me after about 4 days the first time. I have an ultrasound next week so I'm kind of trying to see what I can do and can't. Like was it the jumping jacks that hurt them or the lunges? So this time I am modifying the lunges but doing the jumping jacks. Not sure if that makes sense, lol.

    Jumping jacks sent a killer sharp pain into my knees after the first week. Once I rested my knees they were OK to do jumping jacks. But last night my knees started to get more painful again. I might have to modify the jumping jacks too.
