Hi Shredders!!
Ive ordered my copy today and i am amazed to say im excited for it to arrive, excited to start and very excited to see the results!
Ive looked over success stories and its really had fantastic results for everyone and i hope it will for me!
Im determined to give it my all, and i NEVER give exercise my all!
I just wondered what equipment i need. ie weights etc? Or if anyone has any suggestions of items they use instead of weights?
Any advice or recomendations would be wonderful!!
Thanks

I'm using 1kg weights for the 30DS, however you can use things in the house like cans of food, full bottles anything thats easy to hold.0 -

Overslept this morning..which only means I HAVE to do after work. D4L1 will happen later today
I am less sore today which is a good thing!!0 -
Good morning Shredders:
I finally completed my measurements...for which I didn't like the #'s...smh at me...working towards a new me!
I have pain in places that shouldn't hurt..lol..j/k. I have sore muscles which tells me that I am fatiguing my muscles enough in working them out. Day 4 starts for me when I get in this afternoon...
Wishing everyone a successful workout and a healthy day!0 -
I'm on Day 8 and have jumped to level 2. I'm also doing Turbo Fire with this program. Needless to say, my arms are mush.
It's VERY ANNOYING that you can't skip past the intro and get straight to the workouts.
THIS ^^^ Hahaha it's only been 3 sessions and it's already driving me insane! I might have to turn it on and then leave the room til the intro is finished! Also, me and my sister are doing this together and we both keep going "If you feel like you're gunna die" at the same time as Jillian and then getting the giggles which makes it hard to keep going haha xx0 -
HI SHREDDERS!!!!
I feel like I'm going to pop, I can;t stop eating today I don;t know what is the matter with me, I have had two bowls of cereal and lunch plus biscuits which I shouldn't have eaten at all and it's only 13:30!!!
I have cut the grass and changed the beds, done housework, cleaning and tidied up.
I am at least being busy but why am I so hungry, TOM not due for ages yet and I have no reason to feel like this, I have thought that I was getting a cold the last few days, but I take strong Vit D tablets which means I haven't had a cold in months, nearly a year actually so mabye I do have a cold but not really got any of the symptoms.
I just get a bit of a blocked nose and a bit tired and hungry, so maybe that is what is happening?!?
Either way I feel HUGE :explode:
I need to calm down this eating and get things under control again.
I have done my shred for the day, I managed to do it with the bigger weights throughout again but it was a struggle on those side lunges. BUT I DID IT AGAIN!!
I think it really helps me to know I did it once and it is possible.
I also did all the push ups on my feet!!!! I haven't done that for months!!!
I'm very pleased at this, only day 4 and I have already made big improvements, now I want to see these getting stronger and easier over the next 26 days, I know I can do this, just need to keep going.
Tomorrow I will need to shred twice, I have work tomorrow night and will be at my BF's on friday night and saturday so we might get out for a run but I am not taking my dvd, we also have some decorating to do in his house.
So will be burning cals either way!!
I want to make sure I shred twice tomorrow as I will need to shred and run on sunday if I am to make my goal this week, however I am seriously behind with my weights and arm workouts this week.
BUT if I don;t do any it will still be great that I have done the shred with a stone of weight throughout!!
So I'll not be too hard on myself and with all the other stuff going on this week I know it was a particularly busy one for me so more time next week and I will get more in.
Hope your all coping really well, I'm so glad to see we are up to 16 pages already!!
AMAZING!!!0 -
Morning fellow shredders! Did a 2m run early this morning before the hubs left for work but then the kids woke up early :ohwell: I'm gonna waitl til naptime and then get my shred on :happy:
Here's to day 4! :drinker:0 -
Hi shredders! Day 4, Level 1 complete (Day 10, Level 1 solo). Moving onto level 2 tomorrow... slightly nervous! I also did all of my push-ups the non-girly way! Does anyone else get annoyed when Jillian says "a couple more" -- to me that means 2 not 10! haha. Keep it up everyone! 0
-
Level1, Day8 Completed!!
As much as I want to do all the exercises that JM has for Level1, 30DS, I think I am going to have to improvise some of the cardio ones. My shins are killing me...
Do you have any suggestions for something to do instead of jump ropes, and butt kicks?? I was trying out high knees instead of butt kicks today, and they are much easier on my shins. What do you suggest??
Today, I also did some body weight strength training with my personal trainer for an hour! 0 -
Day 3 level 1 completed last night.0

YES!!! I was swearing at her last night after she said "Just a few more!" What? Minutes?! Geesh! Don't get my hopes up like that Jillian!0 -

I have bad shin splints too from running. I have no idea what exercises you could do instead that would give you the same intensity. I'm just muscling through it as best I can. Remember to ice your legs after the workout and try taking Advil too for the inflammation. Good luck!!! The shins will heal and start to get used to it!0 -
Basic shin help: do ABCs with your feet to strengthen the muscle. (There's a ton more exercises if you just google them, but the ABCs are the easiest and can be done while sitting at a desk ). Also make sure your calves are stretched out/warmed-up well. Lots of people get shin injuries because their calves are stronger than that front muscle.Level1, Day8 Completed!!

Completed D3 L1 last night, plus I did 30 min on the elliptical. My arms are still pretty sore, but maybe getting better?
Have to work all weekend Friday 9am-10:30pm and Saturday 7am-11pm, Sunday 8am - 11am. not sure when I can fit 30DS on Saturday, maybe between shifts.....:frown:0 -
D4 L1 complete! I skipped D3L2 last night cuz I had company back at it today though!0
-
Day 4, Level 1 completed Doing it a lot better than day 1 but I still need more energy on those darn jumping jacks .. I also bought the Banish Fat Boost Metabolism DVD by Jillian last night and will be adding this 3 times a week along with daily 30 DS ...
LETS GO ! LETS GO ! FELLOW SHREDDERS !!0 -

Just finished a 4mi run as part of my 1/2 marathon training and I'm going to shred --RIGHT NOW. Day 5 L1. Must post now because I'm trying not to stretch and call it a day. Here we go Jillian!!
Oh and my 13 year old has been keeping with it as well. She did Day 4 at 9pm last night!0 -
L1D4 done, plus 25 minutes on the treadmill. 424 calories burned per HRM0

Day 3 of this 30 day challenge completed last night. Just 27 more to go hahaha! By the way, my five year old son has joined me during the training and after both complete level 1 (and I am breathing hard and almost ready to collapse) he insists we must try level two. Whattttttt??????? On another note, I am so looking forward to see the results by November 17th, just in time for Thanksgiving celebration!0

Day 4 Level 1 Complete!! :happy:
Today my stomach is what hurts. It hurts to laugh, sneeze, cough, you name it!!
I have noticed that I can do the ab workout better and push ups. Still "girl" push ups, but hey I'm trying.
It still hurts to go up stairs and downs stairs, but not as bad. I managed to do some jumping jacks and jump rope, but not butt kicks. I noticed I wasn't as hot and sweaty after the workout as the days before.:frown:
So I also did 30 mins on the treadmill. I'm thinking of maybe doing 30DS, 15min on the treadmill, then 30DS again. Any thoughts on that? Do you guys think thats too much??
Keep up the great work everyone!!!0 -

You could do high knees or extra squat punches, as long as your doing some cardio the whole time I guess it will be fine, what about mountain climbers? even the slow ones will be amazing to do.0 -
All right, Mel- I'm a day behind but damn committed to 30-DS! I was yelling at Jillian last last night (OK, *****, aren't you done?!) and wanted to collapse (which i kinda did) afterwards but i feel soooooo good! i'm going to be on D3 still at level one tonight. I'm hoping that around Sunday or Monday I can move doing most of the exercises in the more advanced positions and when I can do that, i'm moving on to Level 2. Loving it so far. It's seriously empowering. GREAT idea with the group!
How are you doing?!0 -

How are you doing?!
I'm doing great thank you!!!
I love the shred, I have pushed myself to new limits with level 1 this time, using 2x 7lbs weights!! So feel that I am really getting a lot out of it again, the jumping jacks and cardio feel like a break compared to the strength parts with those weights!!
I think your doing fab, just keep at it!!! You may even find that one day you feel up to it enough to do it twice in one day, maybe right before you move up to level 2, then you won;'t be behind anymore!!!
I will have to do it twice tomorrow so I am ready for the weekend, I will miss out my saturday shred as I'm away from home. But doing it twice on Friday will make up for it, then I will be doing painting and decorating at my BF's house so will be active all day, then we are both working the night so will be busy.
Then back to it on Sunday.
I also need to run tomorrow too, otherwise I won't hit my target of 3 runs per week, I'm running in a minute and on sunday so that plus tomorrow will be three!! MUST DO IT!!!!!
Love this group, we are kicking butt!!!! :drinker:0 -
Wow melgibson, how do you manage to use 7lbs weights!!!??? I'm using 3 lbs and think I'm going to die!!!
Okay I did the Day3, L1. Since I did before the Active 2 step-aerobics, I was well pumped for Jillian. I still hate the bicycle crunches but managed (somehow) to do them all.
My butt is sore today! That must be good and everyday I see a bit of improvement on my middle section... can't wait to see the final results!
I as someone already said, I am too scared of Level 2! I don't even want to think in Level 3 LOL
I'll update the table now...0 -
I wore sneakers last night... I feel a little better with them on so I'll continue wearing them... 0
