Starting Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred (in 6 weeks)

gjspiller

To keep me motivated for the next 6 weeks, I thought of trying (again) to attempt to do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, 5 days a week (there's no way I can do it for 7 days a week) for the next 6 weeks. If I follow it, I want to know how much of a result will I get. It's only 20 minutes a day, so that's doable. I will also supplement with another 40-60 minutes of additional cardio for extra fat burn.

I was wondering if anyone wants to commit with me?

We will commit for the next 6 weeks, to do the Shred 5 days a week. You can opt to do additional exercise or not. I want to see if we can lose 20 lbs. or more. Wouldn't that be AWESOME!?

We can check in every Monday with weigh in's, and progress/tips. At the end of 6 weeks, do a final weigh in and measurements.

I have read on past forums that it is best to stick with your diet plan (stay under calories) and of course, be active 6 days out of the week to see maximum results. I'm doing Shred only 5 days because, well, I get easily bored. So I'll supplement with my Zumba, and treadmill, and outdoor walks.

So who's with me....starting March 1st?

Sounds great! I've already completed the shred once, but have gotten kind of lazy in my workouts. I just started doing the C25K since the weather is getting better but I need the strength training and the abs. 5 days seems like a good goal!

I'm with you!! I just started day 1 of the Shredd..wow! Glad I only got the 3lb weights!! :flowerforyou:

@AnnaBell: Please join, even if you start on Friday! yay!
@Kerri: Great! You've completed the Shred once! (bowing down to you). Yes 5 days. I have attention deficit so I think that's more doable.

Okay, everyone can post their starting weights or whatever you use to measure. Then, check in on Monday mornings for results. But also check in daily to post progress. Mention what Level and what day you are on, since we're kinda all starting on different days.

HealthierMamasita

Has anyone else gotten their 30DS done? Come on ladies!

gjspiller

I JUST finished it right now!
L1 D1: DONE!!!

The first circuit I was hating life.
The second circuit I was feeling the burn.
The third circuit....I was flying home!!

29 more days to go!!

Ok, so to keep me going, I would take one phrase that Jillian said, and have that as a mantra in my mind for the whole workout. Today it was: "Don't Phone It In!" and "You don't get THIS for FREE!"

Share everyone!! Let's GO!!

TakeOne

LOL...I did!! Wahoo! Love it. :bigsmile:

What is everyones favorite portion..the cardio, abs, or strength?? I have to say abs for myself, since that is the area I need the most help with : )

gjspiller

good idea @HealthierMama for making a separate ticker for the Shred. good motivator!

@TakeOne: I actually like the Abs portion, to be honest....it gives my knees a rest...and I get to lie down and catch my breath a little! LOL

ThresaGlass

Can someone tell me how to log Jillian in as part of my excersize? I just can't seem to figure out how. Thanks in advance good luck gjspiller! I do Jillian every few days, not everyday ( I found I gain weight when I do Jillian everyday) but I do love the 30 day shred!

sweebum

I log as circuit training.

I hate the jumping jacks

Love the ab's, makes them feel strong!

gjspiller

@ThresaGlass: yeah, i plan on doing it 5 days out of the week just because my body needs variety. i am still adding at least 30-40 minutes of additional cardio to it, though.

@sweebum: i hate the jumping jacks, too!!!!!! but i tell myself it's only 30 seconds...ugh...i'm sure it'll get easier.

TakeOne

Where is everyone?? Just finished Day 3..so tired :yawn: I really had to fight to find some energy to do it today. How is everyone else coming along?
