30 Day Shred

jacquelyn_erika

I'm thinking about starting the 30 day shred, but I have a few things I'm unsure of. I'm currently 15 pounds away from my goal weight. I'm not totally sure I will be comfortable at that weight so I'm considering adjusting it by maybe 10-15 pounds. I know that the number on the scale isn't everything, but it really does help to see it go down. It's a huge motivation factor for me.

My question is - I've read a lot of things about the shred and I see that you lose a lot more inches and may not see the number on the scale go down a whole lot. Obviously losing inches is a wonderful thing and I definitely want to achieve that. I'm wondering though, should I wait to start the 30 day shred after I lose about 10 more pounds and start it when I get closer to my goal weight? I'm currently working out 5-6x a week now, so hoping I can lose that 10 pounds in a relatively short amount of time.

Thanks for reading

What are you doing now for exercise?
I love the shred, I lost about 20 lbs doing it, but that was at the start of my journey rather than at the end of my weightloss journey. I do think it's a great video for toning up and gettng stronger.

I'm doing an hour of cardio every day. Every other day I add a strength training workout for arms and legs. I started at 198 and I'm down to 153, so since I'm a little closer to goal I'm afraid I won't see any pounds lost. I've heard great things about the workout though!

It's a great workout. You might not see pounds lost, but you would inches. I would recommend some before/after photos and measurements at the end of each level. You will love the results even if you don't lose a lot of weight!

I am doing both cardio and 30DS right now. That way I can continue loosing weight but also work on toning. I started toning because I stopped loosing weight. It is how I am shaking it up a little to keep my body of center to continue to my GW.

It's really different for everyone. I've seen people lose only two or three pounds but lose a lot of inches. I've seen other people lose a lot of weight and inches. I've seen people lose weight but very little inches. I would recommend just going through it. It's only about thirty minutes a day and if you feel like you're not experiencing the results you want, then you can stop. But I would recommend going through it. It also goes down to what you're eating. Maintain your calorie intake everyday, and you should be on your way to a shrinking number.

I like the idea of continuing doing cardio and then doing the shred also. I just still want to see the pounds go down, that's important to me at this point in the game.

jacquelyn_erika

You're exactly right. The calorie intake is important regardless of what workout you're doing. I hope I can see some results. I just need to figure out when I'm going to start!

Give it 30 days starting Oct 1! Then you can see how you do! I love it and do in in conjunction with my Turbo Jam and cardio, it fits in great... tomorrow I start Level 2...wish me luck!

I think I'm going to start on the 1st actually. It sounds like a good idea to me. Good luck on level 2! Are you doing 10 days of each level? I know some people stick with certain levels for a few more days.
