The Ultimate Before and After 30 Day Shred Thread

beccahowes

I've just done day 13, level 2 is evil!! but I actually have arm muscle now, hoping I will improve on my half inch loss from the first 10 days, this is definitely the most effective home work out I've ever done so if you feel like giving up just remember people like me who have not set foot in a gym since school are getting results so you just gotta persevere!

I just got the video yesterday and did Day 1 Level 1. WHEW! I'm glad I've been working out steadily for a month already or I think I would have DIED, lol. It is hard stuff. Serious props to all of you people who have done the whole thing! That is a major accomplishment! I can't wait to finish! I am loving it so far!

I started level 1, day 1 yesterday (June 8th) and I am absolutely burning today! I am doing the 30DS in conjunction with working out with a personal trainer 3 days a week. . .I faced the music and took some "before" photos, they aren't pretty - - looking forward to my after's!

I just started 4 days ago and I have already lost 4 pounds. CRAZY!! I know.....but I just completed my first marathon less than a month ago so since Jan all I have really done is run, run, run and run some more! So I think my body is grateful for the change My goal was to lose 10# in these 30 days and I'm shocked I'm almost half way there! I am also eating really well - no processed foods, all organic veggies/fruits (well, everything I eat is organic) and enjoying a new challenge. I actually gained some wt (about 5#) while training for my marathon and now I am ready to get SHREDDED and TONED!! Bring it on! Oh, and NOT SKIPPING ONE DAY!!!

I got my DVD the other day, but I'm not starting for a while yet because I've just started the C25K, and I want to get a bit fitter by doing that before I even attempt the 30DS! I'm also going on holiday at the end of the month so wont be able to do the DVD.

I'm so excited to start! Must dig out my weights and see what weight they are, been so long since I used them!

I just finished my first day of the shred, far out for a 20 minute work out, I was like jelly after it. But I did it, and kind of scared about tommorow. I have not done this kind of work out since I was around 20 Im 38 this month. I am determined to do this... Anyone doing the shred please add me as i NEED the encouragement.... HA!

Keep going.. Day 2 was my worst day.. Was so sore after Day 1, I could only manage 3 press ups!! Thought I'd seize up on Day 3 - but surprisingly Day 3 was easier. So much so, I actually think I may be able to get to Level 2 on Day 11... Now, might be a bit ambitious - but I was so happy with Day 3 its seriously motivated me!!

Keep at it. You'll surprise yourself... Honest!!

I'm glad I saw this! I just started it last night, and I can barely sit down to use the bathroom, lol! I was nervous about today, but I know it's worth it!!! I don't have any weights right now so I used two jars of fruit

I'm on Level 1, Day 5 and today I am hardly sore at all. Day 3 was my sorest day, but I was and still am determined to do it every day for the full 30 days without any days off. I took before pictures and as soon as my month is up, I will take afters and post here. Good luck to you all! (Add me if you want another friend!!!)

I've been seriously thinking about starting 30DS and this thread has convinced me to do it!!! I'm going to check with comcast on demand and pick up some weights. I think I'll start on monday!
Current;y, I go to the gym 5-6days per week and do yoga 3-4days per week....I have a feeling I will not be able to continue with my routine and do the shred so maybe cut gym and yoga days??? Also, I am not around most weekends so do you think it'd be ok to take a two break once a week??
Everyone looks just absolutely amazing and good luck to all those still working on it!!!!!!!!!

I am still pretty new to the site and I started my healthier lifestyle with cutting calories/eating healthier and the shred. Because of where I was starting I did take one day a week off from the shred for the first two weeks because I felt like I was building muscle so quickly that I was getting muscle cramps on top of being really sore. I finished day 20 today and doubt I will need any days off until the end now. I'm amazed how much stronger I am already and I still have 10 days to go! So basically as long as you hold yourself accountable to the workouts and don't make a rest day turn into rest days, I don't think there is anything wrong with taking a rest day if you need one because not everyone is in the same place. ) *On days I was just sore I pushed through but those two bad muscle cramp days I skipped to rest.

I was kind of wondering the same thing. I did my 20 min on the treadmill about 30 min before I did 30 DS, and I could def tell! I think that doing something extra wouldn't hurt Especially if you added more strenght training or something like yoga to help stretch you out

Ok, so I started a couple of weeks ago and was so sore and had such bad muscle cramps in my legs that I quit... I know I am so horrible, but now I want to change! I am so down for doing this!!! All yall look so great and I really believe it will be worth all the pain! Good luck to those who are still in it!

I am on day 13 (day 3 of level 2) and I really don't get sore anymore, but it is still a killer workout. Hopefully I can post some before and after pics at the end of this. Aside from 30ds in the morning/afternoon, I also try to get in a walk/elliptical or some other cardio a few nights a week.

I am so going to do this shred! I have the dvd at home as well as many other of Jillian's Dvd's but I have stopped doing them. I'm going to pick it up starting next week (going away on the weekend) and hopefully get some results! Does anyone know what the gear requirements are for this dvd (weights, mat, stepper) I want to make sure I have it all ready?
