Beginners 30 Day Shred Challenge starts 4/17--CLOSED

wanna_be_fit

All right, ladies, today is the first day of our 30 day commitment! Everyone needs to post their starting stats--whatever measurements you want to track, as well as your weight. I think that we should check in our weight on a weekly basis and I plan to recheck my measurements at the halfway point and at the end. Let's post updates every Sunday. Even if your normal weigh in day isn't on Sunday, you can just post weight from your normal weigh in day.

For those of you just finding this thread, we are a closed group, so catch us next time around!

Good to see everyone checking in! Hope everyone enjoyed Day 1 Level 1 of the shred! I didn't burn as many calories doing the video (per my HRM) as I was expecting, so I did 25 minutes on the elliptical as well. I'll probably do that most days since it only takes a little over 20 minutes to get through Shred.

Keep up the great work everyone! Day 1 down, only 29 to go!!

Whew! After jumping around and headbanging for 5 hours with my band, that workout EXHAUSTED me!

Just curious...how are you going to log your exercise with the video? I was going to do it as Calisthentics...vigorous 20 mins but I want to make sure I have it calculated properly...

I just created a new exercise under cardio and I log it that way. I wear a heart rate monitor, so it calculates my calories burned based upon my weight, heart rate, etc. I think that calisthenics is probably a pretty good estimate though!!

Word of advice: Do not drink 2 glasses of pinot at Sunday dinner with your mum then try to do the Shred! It will cause you to yell things at Jillian that you would otherwise keep to yourself! I made it through but I had to down size my weights on anterior raises with side lunges .

I did not think to measure arms, thighs, n stuff i will do that later on today n let you guys know. Going to do the Shred in about an hour! Have to do my homework first!

afasnacht

I always record the exercise as Calisthentics (vigorous effort). That's the way I've heard other people logging it as well. I think it's probaby pretty accurate! Hope that helps!

Good morning! Sorry I'm late. I had lunch (and wine) with girlfriends that turned into an all day event and early bedtime. But I shredded before lunch and took measurements. Here they are:

5'2"
SW: 135
GW: 128-130
Hips: 36.25
Waist: 30.75
Belly: 36
Chest: 37.5
Arms: 12.25
Leg: 22.5

I've been working out regularly for quite a while and I am sore today. I used 8 pound weights b/c my 5 pound ones are in a box somewhere (we just moved). I will be finding my other dumbell tonight!

Heather, how many calories did it say you burned? Good luck everyone!

My HRM said that I burned 160 calories doing it yesterday. I didn't do it this morning and am planning to do it tonight, so hopefully I can burn closer to 200 calories if I up the weights or intensity a bit. I agree with Tiff and Ashley about the soreness--even if you work out regularly this must work muscles we're not used to using because I'm sore too!!

Hope everyone is having a great day!!
