Anyone want to start the 30 shred tomorrow?

Day 2 done! Felt much better, managed to get lower doing punches and the weights felt a little easier.

Hi, I had never heard of this DVD, but I will buy it and join the group...even if I'm a little late by 2 days! sounds like a good workout.

Hi

I just spied this topic and thought I have a look as i have Jillian's DVD at home tried it for a week and gave up. But now will get started as i think being in a group will definitely encourage me to keep it up. Looking at the info re: time spent on levels and amount of calories burned really good to know these things. So will go home today and blow the dust of the DVD:)

Hi,

I'm a day late too but am starting this evening. Fingers crossed my latest venture into weight loss is a successful one!

Well done everyone!!
I am fitting it in in the mornings (about 4.30am!!!!!) to make sure i dont just come home and say "ah actually im too tired!"

jackrokal

Did day 2 this morning!! I can really feel it today, especially in my arms!!! Had a harder time today with the squat and press and lateral lunge and arms raises then yesterday, hope it gets easier...

I got Day 1 done yesterday after work, going for Day 2 later today. Since I did this workout before I'm kinda OK with just seeing the workout and not hearing all the comments, although don't get me wrong, I LOVE that Jillian says what I am thinking... "If you are looking for modified jumping jacks you won't find 'em here... I have 400 lb people that can do jumping jacks, YOU can do jumping jacks"!!! Dang it, I wanted "easy" jumping jacks, lol!

But since I've heard it all before I need another form of distraction to get past the point of wanting to lie down and ignore her.... SO, I put the DVD in my LAPTOP, then I turn on my TV! Yesterday I did Level 1 while I had on a rerun of the show Las Vegas - was able to get through more reps with the TV distraction!

On to Day 2 today - keep up the good work Shredders!

I did day 2/30 today! YIPPEE! I feel good that I got up today and did day 2. I love having this board to come to for motivation.

I also think the push ups are the hardest. I do the girly ones but at least its something. I feel it in my arms and chest so I know I'm getting something from it. In general the first set is my hardest and it gets easier as it goes. By the end I have sweat dripping off my face so I know I its a good workout.

Thanks again to everyone for all of the motivation.

the wife ordered the biggest loser game for xbox kinnect and it arrived today so i'm having to wait til she finishes 'playing' on that before i can pay jillian a vist.

how does everyone else get on with the stretching cool down at the end. i must be the least flexible person in the world coz i could get nowhere near my ankles when stretching and even just sitting there with my legs out and my arms pushed out behind me was a killer for me! i was all happy to get the workout over and then by the time the stretching was going on it didnt seem like such a cool down. lol. guessing it'll get easier i as i get thru the workouts.

i like the sound of that. i weighed myself yesterday and was planning on a weekly weigh in anyway so sounds like a plan.

BrookeMax

I think its a great idea to post weekly weigh ins! I took my before measurements yesterday and took before pictures...I hope I see some improvement! Its crazy how much having this board motivates me... each day I look forward to hearing how everyone is doing with it! Thanks!!

gd50cent

level 1, day 2. DONE! 28 to go........lol

cocolo89

day 2 level 2 done! this is going to be fun

Soziberry

Well done everyone, me too Day 2 done! Found it much easier today, used heavier weights and more or less did everything apart from full push up. That is my aim for tomorrow. To complete it 100% with weights and full push ups.

hollagolla

I actually missed it yesturday so am looking forward to doing it later today after I cycle home from work and before I go to rehearsal, I may find time to eat somewhere . . . . .

coffeye

Well day 1 completed yesterday and boy do my arms hurt! I dread to see what level 2 will be like as i was gasping for air after 27 mins of level 1 and my arms were shaking afterwards and i only have 2.5KG weights will do it again tonight but i am hoping that after a few days the soreness in arm muscles will go away.

gd50cent

yeah i'm in the sore club too! i'm more used to running and cycling but level 1 certainly worked parts of me that havent been worked in a long time! can really feel it in my arms, shoulders and butt! lol. but i'll push on through it and pray that things get easier in a few days. at least its only 27 mins at a time. thats helping me get through it coz as much as it hurts its over quick enough.

bmwells1

OK, so day 3 down and only 27 more to go. Today was not so fun. I found that I was huffing and sore in the the first cardio set. On a good note I did one more girlie push-up that I had the past 2 days. AND I did finish strong with the last cardio session.

This thread is great. I also look forward to posting here daily to get motivation. Also I did weigh myself on monday and will post weekly. I also took pictures and measurements so I will share when this is over. My husband is also doing the 30 DS, which of course he doesn't need to. He is 5' 11" and weight 175, but is out of shape and wants to tone up. So since he is doing it that also motivates me. I did laugh at him though because he said afer the workout that he wanted to puke and I said ok well thats Jillians phrase: Unless you puke, faint or die, keep going! He laughed, but I am sure he didn't think it was to funny.

Have a good day all!

Level 1 Day 1 yesterday...

Measurements:
Waist - 32"
Hips - 38.5"
Thigh - 23"

I cannot wait to see these numbers go down!! I probably won't get to do it tonight since I won't get home until late, so day 2 will probably be tomorrow, but I may force myself anyway...

jackrokal

Just finished Day 3 and OMG I swear I can feel my body getting stronger already!! The first strength round was soo much easier today then yesterday

BrookeMax

Finished day 3 as well! I really feel better and stronger!! Knowing I can get on this thread and reading all of your comments makes it so fun and motivating for me. So excited to have day 3 done! YAY!

gd50cent

i'm about to hit day 3 of level 1. i have a feeling its gonna hurt coz the first 2 days have left me aching. still gonna do it though and hope my body adapts sooner rather than later. at least i know the pain means its working!

gd50cent

day 3 sorted. strangely (or maybe not) i dont feel as sore now. :-). although i'll see what tomorrow brings.

still struggle with the proper push ups though. very frustrating! find the cardio and abs sections generally ok.
probably coz i've been running and cycling to try and lose weight over the last 12 months but havent been doing any weights etc. my body doesnt know whats hit it!

3 down, 27 to go.........

almeria1

does it really work??? i'm working with a personal trainer and i'm starting to get a little frustrated cause my weight is going up and not down! (well only 3 pounds)...

QueenHanifa

Soziberry

Well done guys! I didn't do a shred today, I opted for a kick *kitten* longer workout that left me in a pool of sweat. I will welcome Jillian tomorrow morning with a big hug lol
