I'm starting Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred 15/09, please joi

1a1a

Everyone gone for the week end hey? *watches tumble weeds cross the monitor*.

Day four complete, 180 burn (better). There may be some truth to people's claims that it gets easier. There isn't anything I am outright putting the weights down for anymore except the first set where they go over the head. Been looking at a 30DS before and after pics thread, there are some monumental improvements....some more humble ones too, but every one improves, it motivated me considerably considering I committed to this just for some exercise with no thought to the alluring prospect of "losing inches".

Brainwave, watch Jillian, listen to something, anything else :-D

I did Level One Day Three last night and I have a few questions ...

During the workout my muscles ACHE and I am pouring sweat but after a shower I barely hurt at all today I hurt a little in my shoulders and I feel a little sore in my stomach is it normal to feel like hell during the workout and be okay a few hours later ?? I have only been excerising for 9 weeks and I attempted Insanity and couldn't walk without pain after each day (I only did 3 days lol). I am hoping it means I am doing better and my body is adapting I am drinking tons of water , taking vitamins and drinking a protein shake and have drank a results & recovery drink after the first day.

Anyway just hope I am doing it right .. today I am adding in more cardio should I do that before or after ?? I kinda want to do it before since if I do the weights first I am give out and doubt I would continue on with another video as soon as my cold is better I will going for walks again and that will be my additional cardio but for now I dont feel like heading out in the cooler weather

Don't know if it's normal or not but can concur that i too ache during but not by the next day (although the first time I ran through it, I ached for a couple of days after). I think we'll all benefit from some extra stretching post workout, I don't reckon she does enough.

Hi everyone,

back from my parents and keen to get going again...but I must admit that I did not find a way to exercise while I was there :-(

Well too late now and time to get going again. Finally I also received the 30DS, which means I can switch from Ri30 L1 to 30DS Level 1 :-)

Have a great day everyone!

Day five done, better burn, hanging in for longer, starting to feel anxious at the thought of tackling level two, oh well, bring it on, I wanna see those inches go.

Good to have you back Kat, great to hear the 30DS is now in your possession :-D

Hey...thought I would join you guys even though I actually started a few weeks ago. On day 6 of level 2. Whew...what a killer workout. Good news though...lost 5 inches total and 4 pounds in 2 weeks!!!! Don't rely on the scale only...I initially gained 2 pounds in the first week, but also lost 2 1/2 inches the first week. Once I reached level 2, the scale started to move again. Measure yourself and use that and how your clothes fit to see if it is working for you. Good luck everyone!!!

Oh...I'm new on here, so if anyone would like to add me, that would be great!!!

Thanks

I started level 2 day 1 on Thursday last week and only got to do it again last night! Count me in with y'all!

JS70

I just started today. Are we supposed to do level one for a certain number of days or do we just move on when we feel we are ready?

1a1a

Theoretically do each level for 10 days. Great to see some new faces joining.

Just started or about to start, don't forget to take before pics.

Did day 2 this morning felt great but I am super sore tonight. But I think its just because my muscles are tight from not moving much today while I slept.. Guess I will be standing up a lot at work tonight. Great job ladies keep up the good work!

I just did Day 1 yesterday and could barely walk, even was a horrible experiance just to sit and pee!! She is a killer (on my legs), my arms are okay but I use 4 pound weights and always use them when I am on my treadmill, so I am kinda used to them (no pain there). Could not do Day 2 today but I will get back into it tomorrow, I just need to rest....but I walked 30 minutes today (even though I looked funny)!!

1a1a

My legs hurt like hell the first time to, I didn't touch it again for a few days. Do some stretching.

Bovaryoo

Oh my goodness, level 2 is so hard! I used to look forward to the ab work in level 1 as a chance to catch my breath. Not anymore! I had to pause several times during the workout. And I was doing modified exercises for several of them!

mrsmccullen07

Tonight is Day Five for me !

Last night was much better for me although I still have to stop during the pushups and well as those darn bicycle crunches. Should I continue on past day 10 if I can't do the pushups for the entire time ? Also I have pain during the bicycle crunches around my c-section its annoying but not a serious pain but does anyone else have any pain ??

mel_2

I started out only being able to do 3 girlie push ups in each set on the first day. On day 11 when i switched to level 2, everything was fairly easy and I was able to do 5 - 7 real push ups in each set and the rest were on my knees. I don't have the best upper body strength, so doing 20 or however many pushups she does in each set wasn't going to happen for some time, but i went ahead and leveled up. If you are really struggling with the majority of the moves in level 1, wait until they are fairly easy before you move to 2.

Ramitta

I'm still struggling still with the push-ups too, I have improved but still can't do the proper ones only the girly ones. hopefully by day 10 I can do a few proper ones
How's everyone else doing ??

Hiya guys, hope you don't mind me joining this

I started on 14th sept so did day seven today and I'm noticing a difference. My endurance has gone up but no inches lost and can't do push up's still.

Has anyone else noticed a change yet? Worried I'm doing something wrong or something.

Lesah0808

Hello everyone!! I really want to join but I have to find the dvd. I'm about 2 go 2 another Target!! Your post are helping me to get ready & motivated! Thanks & Good Luck!!

Lesah0808

I got it!!! It was at Target!! I'm tired so I will start 2morrow!! I'm so excited!! For those of you who've done this workout, is this something I can do before work or is it best 2 wait until after work?? Thanks for your input!

themurph8910

Day 3 done....and today is Day 4.. Ms L -- I do my when I get off work but I get off work at 7 am.

1a1a

Day 7 complete. Getting stronger, no inches lost though, been eating a lot, maybe that's why, tempted to take pics at 10 days and see what there is to see. About four days in, I hadn't lost any weight or inches but I felt thinner which felt good so, maybe
I'll just run with that and keep working.

Side note, I can do 5 to 7 standard push ups in the context of tae kwondo training but doing them for as long as the shred requires kills me, girly all the way for endurance.

Day 8 complete and this thread is deserted again. Coooooome baaaaaaaaaaaack.

I'm on day 9 and I'm the same, no weight or inches lost. Was worried I was the only one. Maybe it'll happen on level 2

I've done Shred intermittently in the past, and I'm about to start doing it again -- as soon as I finish this post, actually. I was wondering... How can I quickly log this in the exercise log? I was hoping for a quick entry called 30 Day Shred. *laughs*

Hehe I actually did the same search It says on the website 503 calories per hour so I log it as 25 for level one as there is a little into but that bits up to you

1a1a

I've no doubt you and I are building muscle (yay) maybe the real shrinkage comes with cleaner eating (I know I'm eating indiscriminately).

As for entry, I put it in under circuit training. My burns vary from 130 to 200 depending on how hard I work, how tired I am etc. (I use a hrm for my numbers.)

Sad, didn't get a chance to shred today....could go now, it's only 3.45 am, but I don't really think I'd be getting the most out of it. :-( Ah well, tomorrow, ready and waiting to do day 9 I am!

Ramitta

I'm only doing shred 5 days a week so only finished day 6 as i do spinning class Saturdays and running intervals Sunday. Not seeing m,uch difference in myself yet but took before pics and hopefully will see a difference by the end of the program
Thinking might start 'Ripped in 30 days' when we finish this and then 'Insanity' !
How are all you ladies doing ?

paulinevalentine

I'm in - I've just completed Day 5 of Level 1. First time I've ever tried this - had never heard of it before. I'm from Scotland and think this may be more of an american dvd. However, all going well and muscles aching. Started using 2 tins of beans as weights. Moved on to 2 1/2 lb weights today and arms even more sore today. I did do a 30 minute jog yesterday too so thats not helped with the muscle aching in my legs but thought I would try adding other bits and bobs in too when I can. I have a dog and am going to try jogging with him some days rather than just walking him.

Anyhoo, all good here and stil feeling quite motivated. Go girls!!!
:bigsmile:

paulinevalentine

everyone seems to be adding it as circuit training for 20 minutes in the exercise log so thats what I've been doing.
