Ordered 30 Day Shred DVD eeeek!

Options
I read (and saw) everyone's wonderful results with the 30 Day shred DVD, I looked it up on Amazon and at $7.60, I had to take a chance! It will be in on the 19th ish and now I'm FREAKING OUT! LOL wondering if maybe I'm biting off more than I can chew or taking on too much too soon. I'm 5'2 233lbs.I work out about 3 times a week right now and have really gotten into zumba lately, but I'm really wondering if I can actually do it or if I need to wait unitl I have more progress...Thoughts please! Do you think I can really do this???

    You can do it!

    Realize, though, that initially you will think it is REALLY HARD. But it gets easier with each day. You will really see improvement in your cardio and strength from day 1 to day 10 of each level (there are 3 levels). You will also probably develop a love/hate relationship with Jillian : )

    Take measurements and pics before you start~

    Best of luck!

    I think you can do the 30DS. The first 5 days will suck, not gonna lie. But, as you've said yourself, the results are there and they are WORTH the fight to get there. I've done levels 1 and 2 of the shred, and even after 5 days (of one OR the other) you can see a difference in endurance AND in your body. If you can't keep up with JM or her girls, just keep moving - more push ups, more jumping jacks - anything to keep your heart rate up.

    And make sure to take before pictures for comparison at the end! Best of luck to you :)

    You can totally do it! You have the advantage of already working out and doing Zumba. You will be sore from 30DS, but it won't kill ya, and it works!

    Oh yeah, you can do it! After the day 1,2& 3, at level 1 you may think I'm lying but on day 5,6 & 7 and especially days 8, 9 and 10, you'll realize in a little over a week, you've increased your ability to do the moves by more than 100%! It's amazing how on day one you can hardly keep up and finish a set and then you are able to get through it. Then of course at that point it's time for level2 :noway:
