30 day shred challange starting Today ... 28th of July ( gro

theseagull

Sorry couldn't complete the last post ,

I use 1kg dumbbells to be able to do all the actions well. I my srlf feel hard on using 2kg in 30 ds. I tried but I couldn't.

Ok, I did level 1 for the first time today, that was all good ... I was a bit disappointed at the calorie burn relative to how hard
I tried!! But I suppose that's what happens with strength training eh?

what's your plan with moving up a level? 10 days of level 1? then 10 of level 2? etc. I found level 1 fine, I can't do that many push ups on my feet, I can do about 10 on my feet ... I think in my head I thought it was going to be 30 different workouts with each increasing in intensity!

How heavy are the weights you use? I was using 3kg weights, but found the strength training pretty tough (but just about doable) with those, but too easy with my 1kg weights!

I log it as about 200 calories burned too. I've heard many people say they didn't actually lose much weight doing the shred unless they coupled it with something else, but their measurements really changed because it introduces strength which a lot of people overlook in their exercise routine.

I use 3 and 5 pound weights. I think I could push up to 5 and 8 pounds, but I'm trying not to overdo it too much. I'm training for a half marathon in just over a month and need to be able to do more than just limp through my training runs, hence the slightly more conservative approach. Don't worry, I still feel it though!

Thank you. I think 2kg weights would be ideal, but I don't have any! I currently don't do any strength training, I run, bike, swim, do bootcamp (which is the only time I do any strength stuff), so hopefully the shred will be good for me! I'm pretty excited about it atm! Always good to do something new eh?

Final question, we do 30 consecutive days without a rest day, is that right? I usually have a rest day every week, but am happy to sacrifice it for the challenge!!

I loved that it was only 20 mins, feels very fit-in-able. I did it this morning whilst the kids watched a cartoon! PERFECT!

Did Level 1 before work this morning - for me its easier to get it done in the morning so when i come home i can jsut relax - i walk 70 minutes a day to and from work 5 days a week (but I think my body is used to that now) also do spin once a week.

I might try go twice a week for the next few weeks - only 5 weeks till my holiday!!! need to do as much as possible before then! Thing the 30DS will defo help I am covered in sweat after it!

I find Level 1 tough but doable! looking forward to see what Level 2 has in store!

I think theidea is 30 consecutive days, but we all know that sometimes life won't allow it. In another group I post with a couple of the ladies did the shred over about 5 weeks and still saw amazing results. So I think a rest day would be fine!

Hi! I have just ordered this from Amazon, so it will be coming early next week hopefully! :happy:

Can I just ask what you put down in your exercise diary for this? I was hoping there would be an option for 30 Day Shred but I couldn't find one.

I am new to the site, only joined yesterday, so any advice would be greatly recieved

I would love to join. I will begin today with the 30 day shred. I will list my measurements this evening. I need this challenge since vacation is coming up for me. I also work 3 to 4 miles, 4 days or more a week ( I just started back). It will be interesting to see the results in 30 days. Thanks for the challenge.

Hey I use a HRM when I do shred and usually burn approx. 250cals a session, today I worked real hard and burned 300 though!! Just as a rough idea :-)

theseagull

The 30 ds was planned to be done day by day for 30 days. But someyimes we cant fo it ! Try you best not to have a rest day !!

We all usually count it here as a cercuit training , general.

Great, thanks

So do you just manually enter the amount of calories burned into the exercise diary? I will have to have a look how to do that if so, I didn't realise it was an option.

You all are welcomed dear ... lets do it togather.

Just so I know how to follow this thread, will you start a new thread every day or add onto this one?

And Thanks for the welcome! I find I do better when I'm challenged!

Hey there!!:happy:

I just started both my dieting and the 30 Day Shred. I've heard a lot of awesome things about it, and I thought joining this convo would definitely help motivate me to LOSE THIS WEIGHT!! My ultimate goal is just to look and feel great. I want to wear cute clothes again!! I don't have my measurements quite yet, but my Starting/Current weight is 182 :ohwell: and my goal weight is 145/150 lbs. I am 5'10. Again, I just want to feel good about myself again... that's what matters most :happy:

Where do I find out how to do the 30 day shred? What is it?

conway22

The 30 Day Shred is a DVD, available at Walmart or online, it's by Jillian Michaels, and OMG, just did Day One and PHEW. But it'll be worth it!

Yeah if you search and it doesn't come up you can add your own exercise and then put in how many mins and how many cals, then from then on it remembers it and if you put how many mins you've done it guesses how many cals!
