    What is 30DS?

    It's Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred workout DVD.
  • Day 3 completed....felt a little easier, but the jumping jack + jump rope cardio thing still wears me outtttt.

    Agreed....
    D2 L1 completed with a vengeance!
  • Completed D1L1!!!!!! How do you calculate calories burned b/c my watch/HRM had a # too low for me to accept. Thanks for any input!

    I wear my HRm too...I am in the 150's and I burn around 170 for this workout. remember that since it's not all cardio the numbers will be lower, but in actuality like a lot of strength stuff your body really is burning more, it just doesn't read on an HRM, you have to be hooked up to a different kind of monitor (my PT informed me of that).

    For anyone trying to figure out how to log this... I was advised on another message page to use Circuit Training - at about 25 minutes burns approx 251 calories. I also noted in looking up exercises that there is a selection for Calesthetics - vigorous that also burns 251 calories for 25 minutes. I think 30DS fits either of those categories pretty well.

    (If anyone already posted this.. sorry.. I didn't review all the posts.. there were too many LOL)

    Today (9/21) was D2 L1 for me. First day i couldn't do the jump rope all the way through, but the second day I made myself jump the whole dang time. Those kill my legs!!! Hoping tomorrow is a success as well!

    Yesterday (9/21) i completed Level 1 Day 5. I weighed in today and I am currently at 131.2. I was at 133 when I started!! I am finally moving down instead of staying the same!! Can't wait to see the difference in before and after photos. I am committed to see this through!

    Wanted to say good job to all of you who are doing this!
    Today will actually be day 3 for me on level 1. And I am so very sore. But I pushed through it yesterday and made it through it all. My legs are sore my arms are sore my stomachs sore. But I love it! Can't wait to do it again today after work! Only time I can do it is after work. Which it doesn't matter because either way I'm doing it!

    Congrats and you are right...doesnt matter when you are doing it as long as you are doing it! And being sore does kind of feel great because you know you are changing your body! Keep up the great work!

    D4 L1 Hard time today, not sure why, sore I know. I really dislike jumping jacks followed by jump rope! Great job ladies!
  • D4 L1 Completed!!!

    I think I pinched something in my back cause its kinda tight right now, just working it out. I thank God tomorrows Friday!!!

    Whats everyone doing as far as rest days? I was thinking of not doing the dvd on the weekends and just walking but I like the calories I burn from the 30DS. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this? Let me know :)

    Today I did level 1 day 4...still struggling so much through that first cardio circuit, but the rest of the workout is feeling a lot more doable. Hopefully by tomorrow I can do it without stopping, or by the weekend :) Haven't cheated on my diet yet...but today has a few exams and I work two jobs today so hopefully I don't stress eat! :frown:
  • I can't wait to try to build my endurance today!!! I'm going to do it as soon as I get home but my goal is still in the am.

    I was wondering this too! Was under the impression that it had to be a solid 30 days?

    I missed day 2, but did it this morning about 36 hours after day 1 so I'm not going to sweat it too much. I'm also wondering about rest days since I've always heard it's best to have them.

    I'm surprised how sore my legs are. It didn't feel that difficult while I was doing them. It's the shoulder presses that kill me! Feeling a bit jello-ey today. If I get to the point where I"m not sore anymore I'm going to add running back into my routine too.

    Edit: I just did some research and it looks like this is meant to be done every day, so that's what I'm going to aim to do but if I miss one here or there I'm not going to worry about it.

    I did day 1 ystd and cannot believe how sore my legs are today! Thought it would be my shoulders that felt it but I am nearly crippled lol
  • D2L1 Complete!!!! A little sore and better endurance today but I know I would get a better workout in the morning!!!!

    Day 4 completed.

    Finding it less strenuous whilst also finding myself chattering along with Jillian when she says things like "cos you STRONG" like an idiot. (Me the idiot, not Jillian, obviously.) Please can someone else confirm that they do this too? I feel like a naughty school girl mimicking the teacher. Jillian also reminds me a bit of Fairuza Balk's character in 'The Craft' every now and then. Again, this could just be me getting light headed during exercise.

    Eaten pretty well today but didn't have enough sleep last night - so had a few cravings today!

    Hope everyone else is coping well!
