LEVEL 1 DAY 2 = 173 CALORIES BURNED

THIS IS MY 3RD TIME AT DOING A JM30DS CHALLENGE AND I HOPE NO ONE MINDS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO OFFER UP SOME TIPS I HAVE LEARNT ALONG THE WAY. FIRSTLY I AM 51yo AND NOT AT ALL WOULD I CONSIDER MYSELF FIT, I CURRENTLY WEIGH 94KG (207LBS). SO GET THE PICTURE I AM OLDER THAN MOST OF YOU, FATTER AND LAZIER SO MAYBE SOME OF THIS ADVICE WONT APPLY TO YOU. BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I AM NO EXPERT SO THIS IS JUST ADVICE FROM MY OBSERVATIONS AND EXPERIENCE.

1. Do not be discouraged its harder than you think.
2. If need to modify, modify, modify, otherwise you may give up.
3. Do it at half pace if you need too.
4. Jog on spot for jump rope if you have bad knees.
4. Use light weights to begin with, and even none for side lunges or only every 2nd day.
5. Have a towel folded ready to go under your knees for push ups.
6. Bicycle crunches, I had to slowly build up did 5 then regular crunches.
7. If needed take a rest day.
8. Take measurements as well as weight at start.

Hope this helps someone. I have too often seen so many get discouraged. If you need to take more than one rest day do so, listen to your body. You will still get benefit from how any little you do. Congrat yourself for every little step.

I can't say I recorded large weight loss or measurements during my past 2 go's at this, but there was some, Biggest Bonus of all I felt STRONGER.

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST, AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING OUR EXPERIENCES ALONG THE WAY.

Next week im going to do 30DS one day then P90X Lean program the next and alternate. If I do cardio as well as the shred should I still lose lbs each week?

I log it in as circuit training.

I have a hrm. For me, logging it as 26 minutes of MFP circuit training (first arm cross to last stretch) it is really close to what my hrm monitor says.

bayblue

What does it involve? I really need some verbal motivation from others! I have the Jillian Michaels book.

jewel6018

I will join if there is still room. I need to do a challenge and this is perfect. Please let me know when to post my weight and measurements.

bayblue

Where can I get info on thr 30 days challenge.

lilredq

I did day 1 yesterday! whew feeling the burn! I don't think I've done that many jumping jacks since 1st grade! :laugh:

abthorn

I was planning on starting the shred today! It's time to say goodbye to the baby weight! Would love some motivation!

jakki_brown

I started last week, but got sick and had to quit. Hopefully I will be okay to start up again soon. If so, I'm going to keep up with this group if it's alright with you guys!

maceycarey

how do you measure yourself and know its accurate?

bourbonqueen

I'd like to join the challenge! I actually started on the 31st so it's day 3 for me, I was just that eager to start haha

lizziterlizzi

So I weighed myself at the end of the October 30 day shred and had only lost about 1 lb. Time to get serious and kick my *kitten* into gear. My goal is to be down 10 by the end of November. I know its ambitious but I think if i keep my mind to it i can get it done.


Start weight - 162.2
current weight - 150.4
