Starting 30 Day Shred Tomorrow - Anyone wanna join

Lozze

I've done four days (I've been doing two days on, one day off. My knees can't handle more!) and after just that time my work shirt feels looser.

It's an AMAZING workout. I'm a quivering mess by the end. Am I the only one who finds it gets much easier after the first circuit? I struggle through that and then I'm fine. It's the combination of star jumps (I hate the term jumping jacks!), skipping rope and the arm workouts that kill me.

Today I've been struggling to walk. My calves are killing me. This is actually the first exercise I've done where I feel pain. So it must be working!

I find it easier after that first circuit. I think you're body is just resigned that you're doing it at that point ;-)

I started last night... well lets say tried I only made it throught the 2 circuit up to the abs, OMG.... I am going to keep trying until I get it. Question how do you guys track this in your exercise journal?

It's logged as circuit training Good luck

HeyGrlHey

I agree completely, its is very hard! Sometimes I can't complete the whole time, but as soon as I catch my breath I try again. Glad I'm not the only one. I track it in exercise by calling it "circuit training" in cardio.
Good luck and hang in there! We can do it! Today is day 3 for me.

I totally agree with you too!! I struggle through the push ups and then all the other exercises seem much easier. But I can already tell after doing it for 3 days that I am getting stronger and they aren't hurting me as much. woo!!

Congrats to all the people who have completed day 3 or 4 today!! I finished L1D3 this morning and I feel really good. I even jumped on the scales and the scales are also happy about the 30dShred. The workout was much easier this morning, although, I am still sweating like mad!! Bring on D4!!

I completed l1d4 today and parts of it are starting to get easier but its still extremely difficult and im still having some trouble doing everything in the workout. I still keep pushing through it though and do what I can and I know eventually ill be able to do the whole workout. My hardest part is the jump rope and the pushups

Tinkerbella831

Day 2 completed and did the full 20 minutes.. yay had to take a couple of 5 second breaks but it is just the beginning and once I get active I will get better. The only thing i do notice is that my knees are making this funny cracking noise like a old raggedy door. Has anyone else experience that. They don't hurt but I just her the noise.

Yes I agree the jump rope and the push ups are no joke. Keep pushing you have the right attitude.

Awesome job! I am so glad that we are in this together, or I may have given up like I did in the past. This is great, knowing that we are all getting stronger together, and that we are all suffering together, lol. WE CAN DO IT!

Made it through L1D2. It seemed so much easier today in some ways but my muscles didn't want to cooperate. I felt like I could keep going but I would start to feel as if I was about to get a leg cramp or shoulder cramp so had to go a little easier then I wanted. Definitely need to drink more water I guess.

L1D5 done. I think I need to buy some 5lb hand weights...I can't use them for the shoulder raises (those are killer!) but the bicep curls are just too easy at 3 lbs.

and I agree about upping your water intake--I need to do the same.

Roly59

Okay, I'll have to dust mine off but I'll give it a go

I have to use two sets of weights when I'm doing it. A really light set for the shoulder raises with the side lunge and a heavier one for the bicep curls and chest thingies

I'm so proud of everyone. we're almost half way through the first level Keep up the good work guys. we're so strong we can do this!

HeyGrlHey

So I am a few days behind some of you. Level 1 Day 3 complete! My arms are killing me.

I'm using 1kg weights, the next size that I have is 5kg.... which I think may be way too heavy.. but I might give it a try anyway. I woke up too late this morning to do L1D4, so I will report back tonight when I do it after work.

Keep up the fantastic work girls!!! I can already see changes in my body, we are all going to look FABULOUS after 30 days!!!

luhluhlaura

I'm proud of us too
yesterday night I was just like "no laura, don't do it. You really have to study blah blah" but I eventually picked myself up and reminded myself how crappy I would feel if I missed a day. It's all worth it! Great job everyone!

Going to do L1 D6 tonight.
I haven't been doing my normal runs 3-5 times per week though, so I'm disappointed I had a test tuesday, a test today, and I have a project due tomorrow! so I really haven't been able to make it to my gym. next week, I'll try to do both.

L1D3 (skipped last night -uh oh!) Back on the train.

L1D3 was good. Feeling a difference already in making my body move. Still slackin on measurements though!

Firstwwjd

I did it this morning and again tonight! The only problem is I'm having horrible pain in my shin after tonight's so we'll see how I'm doing tomorrow but I may have to take a rest tomorrow. I hope not though.

good job. I think as far as trying to fit a workout in this is probably a good one..I mean 20 minutes is nothing in the scheme of a day

getfit009

I totally agree Stormie!! I also love how L1 is divided into 3 sections.

I just finished L1D4!! woooo hoooo

StormieL

sorry but does anyone else find the vacant smiles on Jillian's helpers faces a little off putting? I actually wish there was a version where you've already done it at least twice and know the routine pretty well and there wasn't as much of Jillian stopping to show us what her girls are doing to make it more clear for us...sorry just a bit of a rant..

Tinkerbella831

Well tonight will be l1- day 3 for me I am alternating days with the C25K on my treadmill and the 30 day shred. Hoping it will give me the endurance I need to finish this level 1 with out any struggling and move on to level 2

Yvette711

L1D4 - I am starting to get use to the workout. I feel great getting it done first thing in the morining. I will need to find my measuring tape, so I can post before and after stats.

I hate hate hate it when she says to anita "It's so very hard, isn't it buddy? isn't it?" Lol I feel like Jillian is being so sarcastic!

luhluhlaura
