Anyone fancy startin 30 day shred tmro :-)

angievaughn

My arms are sore!!! I was trying to figure out a goal I coud do during each level... Level one was working on my push ups!!! It probably should of been jumping jacks....but I hate jumping jacks...so I think there is a mental block that I can get over yet!! So, I focused on that 2 30 second push up time!!! I can feel the guns building in my arms!!! LOL!!! I walk around the house...asking my kids and hubby to feel my arms!!! I think I am driving them crazy with it!!! But I am proud....haven't felt muscle in my arms.....since High school!!!!

good for you, keep showing off to those kids and hubby:happy: :happy:


I did another day of shred. level 1 day 6

marianne_s

I didn't do any today... and I don't think I'm going to do any for a couple of days.... because I've been getting the odd twinges in my knees after each session. I don't get that problem after using my treadmill....

So, I'm going to take a break for a bit and do Turbo Jam instead.... I tried it for the first time yesterday.... was good!

I feel so bad..I did two days and then haven't done anything since. I have reasons (sick, ankle problems, etc) but really I just didn't do it. The one day I was sick I am giving myself a break on. The others I am not. I couldn't do the cardio because it killed my ankle to the point I could barely walk, but I could have replaced her cardio with something a little less jumpy. I just didn't do it. So today I am back at it. I will be behind everyone but I am going to finish this!

Hi Shallo,
I don't know if you saw it but a few days ago you where looking for cardio suggestions regarding your ankle, I posted a reply that had comments about how my workout was going but also a paragraph to/for you letting you know what I did for cardio, as I also have a bad ankle. It's just a suggestion but I hope it helps.

I missed that one. I'm trying to keep up with the thread but sometimes I lose where I was. lol!
I think I can do the jump rope part as long as I don't go too high, and the punches, so I will do those.

Shallo, just because you trip doesn't mean you throw yourself down the stairs ! You can do it! Maybe you could take it a little easier so it's less uncomfortable/intimidating?

Today I do Day 18, Level 1. Feeling good, still modifying over 1/2 of my push ups. Keep striving ladies!

angievaughn

Day 9 down....day 10 tonight!! Have not missed a day yet.....but I can feel it in my body!!! I miss the rest day!! I am determined to do the 30 days in a row!! Tomorrow will be the start of level 2~~ I am going to get my hubby to take pictures before level 2 starts...so I will have beginning pictures, level 2 pictures, level 3 pictures and then final pictures......I probably will never post them...but I want to see if I can tell a difference!!

Good luck everyone....Let's keep going!!!

Since starting 30 DS, I've started to get muscle cramps in my arm, never had that before.

SSampley

day 8 level one down...I still modify push ups and I do take a little break with the last crunches..but overall I am doing very well...I think I am gonna try level 2 tonight just for a difference..I think I can quote the video so might need a little change..

some of my muscle have been sore afterwards and my husband will help me stretch them out and that has helped alot! so I recommed extra stretching if you need it!

ah you should post them,i love seein before an after pic's an it makes me more positive i can lose weight!look at the terrible pic i have up lol that's to remind me i don't want to look like that anymore..i took them pic's just after i joined the site so will take more at the end of shred hehe :-)

I prefer level 2 to 1,it has some easier bits an some harder bits...the only things i don't like is the cheer squat's but i try to follow them thru so i get used to them lol i've gave level 3 a bash twice but its got a couple moves in it like rock star jump an i think it would be good after a bit o practice but it makes me feel off balance an like i.m gonna fall lol it is tough but a good work out an We'l def be gettin results wi it :-) x

Day 5, Level 1 Completed!! WOO-HOO... I'm doing it!! I can definitely feel my legs, back and abs getting stronger and I'm more conscious of my posture now. This after only 5 days ?!?!... I know it sounds far-fetched but it's true. Also, I now believe the saying that muscle has memory and it will come back to you once you start using it again. I'm looking forward to my weigh-in tomorrow. I know muscle weighs more than fat and luckily, I have a scale that breaks down body composition. So excited!! :bigsmile:

For those of you starting out, push through the muscle soreness, it does get better!!
For those of you who are further along, please let me know how you're doing as I love reading about the changes you're experiencing.

We can do this.... keep going!! :flowerforyou:

the cramps could be from not drinking enough water,

day 10 done today, anyone else not going up to level 2? I'm gonna stick with level one for a few more days i think, I'll give it a shot tomorrow but I know I wont be able to do all of it, I'm still having to modify most of my push ups, so I want a bit more strength in my arms before I go up a level.... I already feel so much stronger and look stronger too........ welcome to the gun show haha!!

SSampley

I feel a little discouraged I did level 2 last night and WOW there is alot of holding yourself up...may go back to level one tonight..to help work on the pushups...I had to rest a few more times on level 2, which I know it is harder and will take me a couple days to learn but still I think I need to stay with level 1 for another week..

I'm exactly the same

Day 6, Level 1... DONE!! I'm feeling stronger and do less modifications every day... except for the push-ups - they still slay me!! Mentally, a tough morning :noway:, but I got through the DVD and am moving on with my day!! Yaaa me. :smooched:

Keep going ladies... let's show 'em who has spunk!!

I did it tonight. So I just did level 1 day 1.

catycee1

I just finised the jm30ds level 1 day 2, I still feeling wiped!

sdgirl22

Day 9, Level 2. I'm astonished that each time I do the video (even after a two day break), it gets easier. I actually did the squat thrusts (haha, silly name) completely, instead of doing teeny jumps. As of today, the only exercise that I had to modify was the double jumps in cicuit 3.

Has anyone moved on to level 3? I have 6 more days until I start it.

MoonMyst3

Day 9, Level 1 completed!! Wow... I've been more tired during the exercises the last two days than I remember being in the beginning - sans the extreme soreness, of course. I feel stronger but seem to tucker out sooner... oh well, I'm losing inches!! May be where I am... who knows but I completed it nonetheless. Bring on Day 10!!

Where is everyone?? :frown: No posts for two whole days!! Come on ladies... keep going!! I don't want to do this alone!! :noway:

skinnymoomoo

I'm up to level 2 day 4 .... it's hard work! I keep thinking I will go back to level one for a few more days but not gonna give in lol once I'm done with level 2 each day i am trying to do level 1 aswell, but only managed it fully once haha, I can manage circuit 1 level 1 and thats when I drop lol .... Fellow level 2ers?? Are your shoulders really sore? She says the strength training is to broaden shoulders... I have broad shoulders and don't want them any broader!!!!! lol

Keep up the good work everyone!

jbgypsy

I'm back. took a mini vacation with my sister and some ladies. We had a ball. I only did the shred one day and walked the other day a couple of miles. Hey its something right. So tonight i will get back on schedule. Shred and of course Zumba is tonight. glad to see everyone is still hanging in there. Keep it up.

I skipped saturday but only because I was doing yard work from 8 in the morning till 5 at night it was so beautiful outside!! I have a very large and very overgrown yard! I think though I must have pulled a muscle in my leg it hurts to do the jumping jacks and jump rope thing but I did do alot better at it then Sunday...I tried level 2 and felt totally discouraged so I went back to level one but I did add in one circuit from level 2 last night so that I can feel like I am getting use to those exercises to.
Since today is Tuesday here are the new measurments: weight 183(lost one pound)...waist 36 in (no change)....hips 42.5 in (lost a half an inch) and I decided I have always hated my thieghs so I am gonna start measuring those..so my right thiegh is 23 in. I didnt lose big numbers this week but considering what week of the month it is..I'll take it! On to Next week!!:smooched:

MoonMyst3

Day 10, Level 1 done baby!!! Hell ya... didn't think I could make it this far!! I'm even considering going up to Level 2 tomorrow... let's do this!! *thumbs up*
