I know I could have looked through other posts to find out this info, but thought I would just start a new topic and I figured there would be some of you NZer's who could answer my questions.
do you have to do the 30 day shred everyday? and how long is each workout.
I realise I would have to have hand weights, is there anything else I need? And how do you log it in the exercise diary?
How hard is it (honestly)...............

I've heard some people do it every other day. I got to Day 8 and then being back at work made timing difficult for exercise so I just do it when I can....will probably take me 90 days!
Hand weights..... I got mine from No. 1 fitness (you can buy on trademe or go instore) I got 2kg weights but they are really a smidgeon too heavy.... 1.5 would be good but I couldn't find any. In fact I did a couple of days using 2L milk bottles with water in...... not perfect shape wise but okay. The workouts are supposed to be 20mins.... but I think they are actually about 24mins. I'd advise you to wear shoes - seems to make it easier on the joints for me....but I am on concrete floor. I also have a foam pad for the floor exercises (payless plastics or plastic box or warehouse) but you don't have to have one. IN regards to logging, I log it as general circuits. I guess if you have a heart rate monitor that would give you a better idea of calories burned :-) I got my dvd's off trademe but if you want to have a looksie or try....here is a link to PART 1 of the Level 1 workout -

I have ordered this, just waiting for it to arrive! I won't be doing it everyday....prob 5 days a week, then something else on the weekends. I can't wait to start it! I have 1 kg hand weights....hope these are ok??!!0

Oh and Annaspanna.....look how similar our tickers are! looks like we have the same goal

thanks for link to the you tube clip. i think I will get myself organised and give it a go. I guess the general idea is to do each level for 10 days.
am hoping to tone up my arms a bit before being bridesmaid in February (as well as tone everywhere else too!)0 -
Hi Anna!
I just started it last week and I"m going with the one day on, one day off approach - to give the muscles time to recuperate in between!
I use 2kg hand weights and it's pretty hard with those. I'm struggling a bit but hopefully it will get easier as I go along - apparently that's the idea. ; P
It is REALLY hard if you're trying to do everything. I can't quite get through all the reps of each exercise, but I'm trying my best because, as she says in the video, you can't expect to work out for 20 minutes, get to rest and still get the results you're looking for!
I'm loving it, though, and a lot of people have seen really good results from it. : )0 -
I started this yesterday. Is anyone else still doing it? How did you find it?0
-
I have done it before - took a few rest days esp in level 2 which I hated.
Have just restarted and am on day 3 of level 1. the entire level 1 is on youtube (dont have link handy atm)
I mainly use 4kg weights apart from front shoulder raises which I SUCK at!0 -

I have all 3 levels on DVD thanks Emma. It's day 3 for me today. Hoping to get 1kg weights for it next week but feeling sore enough without them at the moment. I find the push ups are the worst as I've never really been able to do them.0
-
Thanks for the link, I tried it yesterday - ouch today! Was going to do it every day but Im SORE, not sure if I should push through and do it every day, or have a break in between?0
-
Well I sucked it up, and Ive done it!0
-
managed to get through day 3! Hows everyone else getting on?0
-
Just started this today - thanks for the link. I've ordered the DVD from the library but it'll take a couple of weeks. I started the C25K yesterday and I plan on alternating - Mon, Wed, Fri C25K and Tue, Thu, Sat 30DS - Sunday will be my rest day.
The first workout was really hard in places - my dumbells are 2kg - and a few of the arm exercises I couldn't finish all the sets. Hopefully I'll get better though!0 -
Well done Melly!managed to get through day 3! Hows everyone else getting on?0 -
Yes, I feel really proud of myself, walking the dogs most days, and doing the shred. Did day 5 today, but was a bit difficult, every time I lay down the kids decided they wanted a cuddle! I prefer to do it in the morning though, then its over for the day so I dont have to think about it anymore!
How did you get on?0 -
Woohoo I'm up to day 15! It's starting to get a lot easier now that I know what to expect. I'm sure level 3 will throw me again.0
-
Day 2 done! It was much easier than day one, my endurance is getting better, the strength exercises kill me though. That second set of side lunges and forward arm lifts really got me, I had to rest for about 10 seconds and then made myself finish them. But that was the only time I stopped - so I'm really proud of myself!
So far alternating this with C25K is going really well. Tomorrow is my rest day - yay - Monday is C25K so it'll be Tuesday till I do this again. That'll give my aching arm and shoulder muscles I chance to rest hopefully.0 -
Anyone still doing this? I'm up to Day 13 tonight. Am loving it!0

I've just done day 3 of level 2. I much prefer level 2 to level 1. I don't know if it is because I was REALLY bored of it or if it is just that I find I can actually do the exercises in level 2 while some of them in level 1 were soooooooo hard (those front arm raises with a side lunge ones = killer!! I had to do one arm at a time until about day 7).
I'm trying to do it 30 times in 30 days. I've done 13 days without a break so far. Today I almost didn't do it, but I managed to talk myself into it.
I'm also doing a Mums and Bubs bootcamp on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I've only gone once but am going again tomorrow. I found that I could keep up easily (which I wasn't expecting) so Jillian must be doing me some good!! I also measured myself after 10 days, my measurements were pretty much the same, except my waist which was down by 6 cm!!0 -
Well done werglum, that is awesome! I did day 4 of level 2 tonight. Is it just me or does time just fly by now? I am finding that my stamina has increased, but still sweating like a piggie lol. Am resisting the urge to measure, even though I'll be half way through tomorrow 0

Day 15 today. Half way through 0

Day 15 for me today too. I like level 2 way more than level 1!! I think you are right that the time seems to fly past while doing it. I took my 2 girls to the zoo today and we walked around for 4.5 hours, then I came home and did the Shred - it wasn't even that hard to talk myself into doing it.
I posted some pictures of me (shame!) on day 14 - so yesterday - and I think that the difference is discernible to the naked eye
Anyway, it is this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/483794-day-14-30-day-shred-scuse-the-undies0 -
Wow! The difference is amazing - especially around the stomach and waist. That's brilliant!Day 15 for me today too. I like level 2 way more than level 1!!

I'm still doing Level 1 around 3 times a week, the DVD hasn't arrived from the library yet so I can't move up to level 2 till it does. I can definitely see a small difference though, but I'm holding out to re-measure myself till I move up to Level 2.0 -
Heya, Im on day 3 of Level 1. Finding it pretty good so far. I was a bit sore after day one but my body is slowly adjusting and getting through it without so much grunting and stops. Cant wait to see some results. 0

For those that are interested EBay has these DVDs for approx NZ$14-$15 included postage.0

I guess you would have to check whether the DVD region plays on your DVD player thoFor those that are interested EBay has these DVDs for approx NZ$14-$15 included postage.0 -
Day One for me.....it was hard, but I will continue as I can see it will benefit the whole body.0

Great work, you can definately see results and your only half way through .... got to be happy with that!!
Only 3 more days of level 2 for me then I get to see what level 3 throws at me.
I am totally addicted to 30ds, went for a long bush walk yesterday and while going up the hills commented that I wouldn't need to do 30ds last night. But I got home and did it anyway (the thought of not doing it made me sad!!!) I'm thinking I might try and find Extreme Shed and Shred and do that next ... I'm a long way of doing Ripped in 30.0 -
I've just moved up to Level 2 - I had to do mainly the modified versions (especially for the plank poses, I hurt my left wrist doing push-ups on Saturday so didn't want to stress it too much). The first circuit was quite doable, but by the time the third circuit came around I was exhausted! My shoulders should be a lot stronger by the time this level ends!0

I start level 3 tonight ... 10 more days to go, better find something to do next 0
