What is this 30 day shred, do I need DVD's to keep up?

KristynStephens15

It is one DVD by Jillian Michaels. I have heard though that if you have Comcast, it is OnDemand.

Thanks for the welcome!

What time of day do you guys normally do your workout?

KristynStephens15

Starting wednesday when my son starts school i will do it between 9am & noon whenever my 6 month old takes his naps. Then on weekends I will do it 1st thing before everyone wakes up that way it is done for the day. Otherwise if for some reason i cant get it in Ill do it around 9pm after husband and kids are in bed. I have been hearing recently it is better to do a work out first thing in the morning before you eat. The theroy is if you havent ate, you will burn fat, where as if you have eating you will just burn up calories you have already consumed. Both of which are good, but me personally id like to burn any fat i have hanging around! :laugh:

Good Afternoon Shredders!!! Well I must admit that I debated to start or not... I know I know!!! But then I remembered the very fist post on this wall about wanting people to sign up that were comitted... so I didn't want to let you down!!! It was my very first shredding experience... my arms are SO out of shape... going from pushups that i barely moved to the lefting of the weights... :sad: and the jumprope... man my claves were killing me... :frown: BUT don't worry it did not scare me away I am here to stay... although I must tell you my eatting habits haven't been the greatest lately... I hope once I get this routine down I can work on my eatting. It was nice having today off because I just worked out... During the week I haven't decided what I am going to do... morning? i am NOT a morning person :grumble: maybe at night??? I will have to figure it out. ok enough rambling

Just finished day one, yay! I wish I could do this in the morning. However, between work and my son, that would require me being up between 4 and 430 and I was exhausted when I was doing that before. So night time it is for me!

FYI for anyone who DOES NOT have a HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) most people use the Circuit Training general exercise for the Jillian Michaels DVD. For me it's almost DEAD ON for the calories burned in the 27-28 minutes I'm working out to the DVD.

eab12191

Finished day 1! It kicked my bum. I took a pic after I wiped all the sweat off my face. Gonna compare it with day 30, but wanted to share with ya'll too.

Guess I don't know how to load pics. lol

KristynStephens15

L1D1 Done!!!!!!

I had forgotten what a butt kicking it is... i actually burned more cals per HRM then circuit training said lol and that never happens! It was only by a couple but still!!! :laugh:

Thank you so much to those of you who wanted to skip today but didnt. I really only want a group of committed people. And being sore is no excuse to skip. Trust me, you will be sore but you push through and believe it or not, it helps!!!!

30 days straight ladies, no going back now!!!

:flowerforyou:

good morning everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend!

I'll be doing my shred when i get home from work tonight. I have to retake my measurements, so I'll post those this evening as well!

AngelaKaylani

Good Morning Ladies!!! I am so glad everyone finished day 1... now time for day 2!!! I enjoy reading all of your post and getting to know you gals. Great idea for us to do the little bit of info. I feel good today not sore, although when i touch my biceps I can feel a little bet of soreness!! I am at work now but I think I found a time that works... right after work at 430... Once I get Jayden from daycare we have some down time before I start dinner and Mat gets home... yep, I think that sounds like a great idea!! Have a great day ladies. I am sure I'll post again before the work day is up! I am addicted!! :bigsmile:

miami_mimi

I am one day behind but I will start 30DS today, I am sooo excited as I continue to hear great reviews from sooo many people. I will post later how day 1 goes

KristynStephens15

SOOO glad you found us Mimi, I will double-ly love having 2 challenges with you!!

kabatoff

How does everyone feel today? I'm a little sore (mostly legs). Also, anyone who can't do the regular push ups? I can do around 3 total then switch to modified.

I can do bout 8 the 1st time round, then do the modified ones,
2nd time round, arms are hurting, so do the modified ones

heatherjames84

The weather was horrible here this weekend so I didn't get to get the DVD but I'm going this afternoon to get it. I will try to catch up and maybe do 1 and 2 today... I'm excited...

Mios3

Uh-Oh...

Lol, I started on the 1st so I did day 6 today. I wish I would have done measurements sooner ( still haven't done them) Cause I can already tell a difference in my clothes.

AngelaKaylani

I am so embarrassed about my push-ups... i have such weak arms it is bad... :blushing: I did the modified and was still only able to go down an inch... :laugh: Please tell me I will get better with time!!!

WinnieX

Im on day 2 here in the UK now, took my measurements yesterday but not had a chance to log in on my computer so will post them tomorrow! VV sore its harder than I remember!

NiciS72

Also, anyone who can't do the regular push ups? I can do around 3 total then switch to modified.

I am stuck with the modified as I have a fully dislocatable shoulder and it will pop out if I try the regular ones. The modified hurt it too, but not as much! Do what you can do and keep up, you will still burn a lot of calories and get a really good workout.

For those of you who are sore I HIGHLY suggest Advil or anothe NSAID. I take it every 4 to 6 hours when I feel the muscle strain. It helps me get over it a lot quicker!

KristynStephens15

L1D2 Done... Man am I sore!!! I cant beleive that I have completed this thing twice in the last 6 months and it i still kicking my butt this bad! wow!

KristynStephens15

I agree about the advil! I have Bursitis in one knee and arthritis in my hips, Im a mess at 25! :laugh: But I wont make that an excuse. To those of you who are starting a day or 2 late or a couple days early, that is totally fine! You can either remind/warn us to whats ahead, or be prepared as we warn you! :laugh: Make sure everyone is getting in all their water, that too helps with sore muscles I hear!

tracylee679

Well Krystyn I decided to join you on here too! I guess we will be Labor Day Shredded Mummies...LOL! I will be doing the program every day but the bad thing is that at the end of this month I might be going to Vegas so I will miss the last 4 days and have to do them when I get back. Unless I just do it while I am gone??? Maybe? The thing I wanted to ask is what size weights are you using. I have 3's and 5's and I started last night with the 3's but don't know if I should be using the heavier weights. Maybe since this is my first round I will use the 3's and work up to the 5's? Thanks for the invite!!

Tracy

KristynStephens15

Tracy, Im kind of pathetic, and even though this is my 3rd round of the shred, I still use my 2lb weights! :laugh: However, I can now do a few real push ups so my arm strenghth is building. If I were you to get your 4 days in before you leave, maybe double up on level 1 twice and double up on level 2 and 3 once that way you get in 4 extra days and can weigh in before you leave. Vegas may definitly derail your results... it would for me!! :laugh: Any how glad to have you! Miami-Mimi is also doing both challenges, glad to have some of my Mummies shred with me!!
