Starting the 30 Day Shred!!

BunnyBearLove

I am on lvl 2 day 13 and like everyone else is saying work through it, watch your form though! I log it as 20mins of circuit training which is about 246 cals burned (?) I feel stronger and I've lost 2lbs but I feel more sleek and my clothes are def. fitting differently

30 day shred was the first Jillian system I did- and it was such a great way to start!!!!! There were times when I would do one here and there but never stick with it, but when I committed to actually doing 30 shreds in 30 days with NO days off- it was awesome! I lost 14 lbs. A group of friends and I did it together so I had massive support. We also took pictures at days 0, 10, 20, and 30 to see our progress. Since then I've done her Ripped in 30 ( which has to be my favorite workout video of all time), No MOre Trouble Zones, Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism, and 6 week 6 pack. Since I began this journey in Feburary, I have lost 50 lbs. Good luck to you! And stick with it!

I've done the video about 8 times now, but only started being serious three days ago. I've noticed that i've lost my "second"chin i had lol , and ( this is weird ) but i noticed shaving my legs that my calves are much leaner and not flabby. If this is whats changed in about 10 or 11 times doing it, i can't imagine what it'll be like 30 days straight!! It's great motivation, plus i've lost 5 lbs

I'm going to be starting it .. well i'd like to say right now, even though it's 10:30 at night.
I've done it a couple days before and I'm always telling her on screen "No, no Jillian you don't understand.. can't breath... let me rest. What? New exercise? OHH jumping jacks!" and hop right back in

I'm starting 30 day shred today with my sister! She lives in Ohio but we'll be together in spirit I got my new Polar FT7 HRM lastnight so i'm geared to go! I"m at work today until 5 pm and I'm antsy. I'm a little worried because everyone talks about how hard it is but I've made it through 30 days of p90x before so i'm hoping it's not harder than that ( I could never do a real pull up or anything, but I'm thinking about the intensity.

I'm training for something called a Tough Mudder here in Michiganin April. it's a 12 mile run/obstacle course with swimming involved. Yes swimming-in Michigan-in April (ugh!)

I weight 193. My friend who are doing it are doing p90x right now and then doing p90x 2 and then insanity. I started P90X (i've done the first 30 days a year and 25 pounds ago) but I'm just not ready for it. I'm really just too heavy. So I'm hoping that the shred will get me more to a level where I can train with my friends.

Also, I keep getting TERRIBLE **** splints from running. I have new shoes, I think I'm just too heavy for that kind of activity right now.

SO HERE GOES NOTHING! GO US!

Started Level 2 day 1 OMG. I could only make it through half the plank stuff. Burned 273 calories though- my HR was through the roof the whole time.

I'm starting tonight, when I get done work! Im really nervous/excited! It looks like most everyone has had a lot of success with it, so I hope I will too!! I havent been too overly active in the last year or so...but last year I did lose 20 pounds using Billy Blanks taebo, and that was ok for me, not too hard! I hear Jillian pushes you hard but I am determined to make it the full 30 days with no breaks, and I'll be sure to post some before and after pics when I'm done!

Thank you all for your motivation!!

All you guys are making me want to give it go! i think i may go out and get it at the weekend! just hope that i can stick to it!
Is there any other way of finding how many calories you burn on it without a HRM?

laurenmXD

Also does it burn fat not just turn into muscle ?

I did Day 1 Level 1 last night. It was a good work out and went by really fast! My legs feel like jello and are a little sore today, but I'm ok with that because I know I got a really good workout in! I am going to do Day 2 tonight, hopefully I wont be too sore tomorrow!! Lol

Yeah, there's cardio in it, as well. And when you go to enter it in the exercise area here on MFP, just put the number of minutes (which is debateable, but I follow what Jillian says--20 minutes), and MFP will give you an estimate based on your weight and such.

Do you only do 20 min or do you do 60 min? I am starting in the morning....

I actually log 30 minutes because I do some cardio for warm up before and after.

KimmyEB

The actual workout itself is only 20 minutes, so that's what I log. I definitely don't count the warm-up and stretch cooldown as working out.

I want to do this im just a bit scared that it will turn my fat into muscle and im not going to loose wieght. will this happen ?

KimmyEB

Fat doesn't turn into muscle, so don't worry about that...it's not even possible. I know personally I'm building muscle, since I can feel and now see it.:happy:

Ohh good thankyou x

Omigod! Just caught sight of my upper arm in the mirror and I've got definition!!! Have not been doing 30DS religiously - about three times a week for the last three weeks. But, omigod, I'm getting lady biceps! Jillian would be proud.

My other half has just raised an eyebrow at me... "Very nice dear, but be careful you don't end up like Madonna."

Now I just need to shift that 3.5 stones of weight and fat enveloping my new sleek muscles so everyone can see them!
