I haven't done insanity, but I understand from a lot of other posts that most people use the 30 day shred as a stepping stone to start insanity. However, I don't think this program will work well for you given your injury. There are lots of planks, push ups and weight lifting that cause ample stress on your wrists/elbows.I used to do Insanity but now that I am back in school I have found that my body can not keep up with those workouts. Has anyone done both and can compare the intensity level? I currently go to the gym 3-4 days/wk for 60-90 min but would love something more consistent. Thanks!
Also I have somewhat of a restriction with my wrists/elbows (possible pinched nerve? working with the OT and hand surgeon to figure it out). anyway, do you guys think that the exercises are easily modified?0 -
Glad to hear you're feeling better today and that you might be moving on with me tomorrow
Welcome to all the newcomers! Hang in there guys, it does get easier! Feel free to add me for support.
Just finished Day 9 of Level 1. I took my first day off yesterday due to knee pain and twisting my wrist, and since I felt a little better today I decided to give it a shot. I made it through everything so much better after my rest day. I killed all the strength moves, did the butt kicks a little higher, even felt more ab strength. As much as it scares me to say this, I might just be ready to move on to Level 2. Definitely starting to get bored with the repetition of Level 1, that's for sure. I think if my wrist and knees feel up to it tomorrow, I might go ahead and move on.0 -
I just started level 2. It is tough, but I think my body will adjust as it did with level 1. I know you didn't end up doing it tonight, but tomorrow is another day! Good luck!How is level 2 going? I hear alot of people HATE that level.
Somebody PLEASE tell me to go do this Lv1 Day4! I just don't feel like it but I know I need to...... I wanna get through this shred mostly in December. Uggghhhhh, such a drag tonight.0 -
On that note I am also glad to hear that sb and Jen will soon be moving on with me too! Kill it ladies 0

can someone tell me how you log 30 day shred?0

can someone tell me how you log 30 day shred?
If you have a HRM and want to enter exact calories burned, you can enter it as a custom exercise. If you just want an estimate, most of us log it as 20 mins of "circuit training, general".0 -
Hello all!! I'm in another 30DS group. I started last Wednesday, I think? I'm planning to do Shred four days a week. I'm not doing it on my strength training days at the gym twice a week, and I'm taking a day off. Tonight will be my 4th Day on Level 1. I rested Sunday, did strength training last night (no push-ups on the schedule) so I'm hoping I can do better with the push-ups tonight after a rest! I can make it through the first set pretty well, but the second I was only getting in about 7 (modified).
Tonight I have a Christmas party after work. Eek! So, when I get home I have to make myself do my DVD.. I'm gonna do it, gonna do it....0 -

I'm not going to lie - Level 2 is tough but only because I have really weak shoulders and there is a lot of plank. I feel like if my shoulders were tougher, it wouldn't be bad at all. I just did day 4 and it gets better every single day though I definitely dread it more than I ever did level 1. Of course, once I finish, I feel great and accomplished and glad I did it. Also, it is not boring me like level 1 did. Keep at it - it is definitely worth it. You can do it!0 -
Summer, I will be thoroughly impressed if you are able to do 30 day shred after your Christmas party... as motivated as I am, I don't think that would be happening for me!
Day 2, Level 2: I woke up this morning and my shoulders and back were SORE!! I hadn't been sore from level 1 since about day 4, so I was happy to know that by moving up I know that I am PUSHING myself once again. I was so sore I wasn't sure how I was going to get through the work out again, and like Julie mentioned... I felt a bit of dread. Not wanting to dread my work out all day I figured I would get it over with... and you know what... I even saw some improvement! On Day 2! But, I think the biggest excitement of the morning was while I was getting changed, I noticed I could see a bit of definition around my hip bones once again. It's been a LONG time since I've seen those bad boys hanging around. I feel like I am rediscovering a younger me underneath this not very old body. And it's looking good!0 -
I've done the first 2 days...had to take a break today because of pain in my heel, I could barely walk yesterday. Have to check for plantar fascitis. Doctor has me taking 800mg ibuprofen every 6hrs around the clock. It seems to be helping me some today so hoping to do day 3 tomorrow morning or maybe tonight after work. I'm definitely feeling the burn in my thighs though. Keep up the good work everybody!0

When I log it, it says I burn 284. If you weigh more it's going to burn more calories so I don't think your number is too far off.0

Hi Shredders!
Just finished Level 1, Day 9 and felt today that I'm ready to move on to Level 2. Mentioned in another thread that I did the Shred once before and got incredible results after just 18 days. I didn't lose a lot of weight but I think the inches can't be denied. Take a look for yourself and be encouraged to plug on. The first pics (with the green background) are just after 18 days. The ones following are after the 30 days.

Day 8, Level 1, Done! Looking forward to starting level 2 by the end of the week. Love to hear everyone's stories on how it's going.
Keep up the good work everyone!0 -

That's so awesome! Thanks for posting pictures! Can't wait to see my results at the end of this program. AWESOME!0 -
Wannabalozer, you got some great results!! I love to see before and after pics...it's really inspiring to me! So, thanks to those who share them!
I'm enjoying hearing about Level 2, though it's a way off.
Great thread!0 -
Welcome to all the new Shredders! I hope you all find this thread as supportive and motivational as I have!
Today was level two day seven and I'm toying around with the idea of moving on to level three a bit early. I'll probably do level two again tomorrow then move on! So exciting to feel myself getting so much stronger! I still sweat buckets and get out of breath but I feel like I'm ready for the next challenge. Plus when I checked the calendar I'm probably going to miss the last few of my 30 days because of family events and travel. This is going to end up being the 27 or 28 day shred
As far as doing the advanced moves in level two I just hear Jillian in my head saying "You're *strong,* this is *easy* for you" and think, okay, whatever you say Jillian, you are the boss, lol! Really, it's super tough but totally worth pushing myself for, you all know what I mean 0 -
Sorry Guys I failed tonight : (
Had a Domino's tonight..... and I didn't do the workout : (
Sorry, I'll try harder tomorrow. I'm going to start Level 2 tomorrow0 -

dang, not what I wanted to hear but thanks! good luck everyone0 -
I want to join! Yesterday Monday, Jan 5th I did day one of level one. I didn't do it today due to muscle soreness in my calves and thighs. I hope to be ready to continue on Wednesday.0

Man my thighs r so freaking sore today I'm dreading doing day 2 of level 1 but I want this so bad so I'm gonna suck it up and do it. Wish me luck lol.

I was planning on restarting tomorrow, so I would love to join this group! The furthest I have made it to is day 20 this past summer...0

Level 2 day 4 - well it wasn't quite the turn around I hoped for, but it is getting better. My shoulders are still my weakness but I did move up to some of the more advanced cardio moves today and it wasn't too bad. Even the plank twists are getting easier. Everybody has been great motivation to keep pushing myself when all I really want to do is stop so thank you!
:happy:0 -
Just finished day 2 level 1 for some reason I didn't seem so sore while doing the workout thank GOD. But it was still a challenge took a few breaks but I made it though everything. Yay lol

Day 6 of level one--last day of level 1!!! Today my hubby decided he would show me up and did the whole thing with me...but with NO weights ( I told him to use cans/bottles but he didn't wan't to). And the funny part is that he was sweating by the end. Jillian kicked his butt 0
-
This is common and something that people should keep in mind when the are deciding against doing their work outs... soreness usually only rears it's face, before and after, but not during your work out. So, if you can try and keep up with them
Congrats Alicia!Just finished day 2 level 1 for some reason I didn't seem so sore while doing the workout thank GOD. But it was still a challenge took a few breaks but I made it though everything. Yay lol

Level 1 results: I only weigh-in on Sundays. Started on a Saturday and finished on a Monday so there might be a bit more to account for, but I was down 1.5 lbs after 9 workouts + 1 rest day. Unfortunately I don't have a measuring tape yet, but I did take pics. I can't see a difference yet, so I think I'll wait to post them once I have visible change, hopefully at the end of level 2.
Level 2, Day 1: I think I'm dying. Jillian just kicked my butt all over the place. I had a very tough time with most of the plank moves - the only ones I was able to keep up with completely were the walk outs. I thought some of the strength moves were a lot harder too, but I'll probably get used to those faster than the planks! I wanted to see a bigger change in my body, and I'm sure this will get me there faster.
Keep up the great work everyone! 0 -
Yay, another 30DS group!! I did the shred through November (lost a total of 10 lbs and 6") and then decided to do it again through December and add more cardio. I've been switching up the levels instead of doing 10 days of each like I did the first time. So I did 3 days of level 1, 1 day of level 1 & 2, and then 2 days of level 3 so far for December. I ordered a cardio "dance" video from Amazon, should be here any day now, in the mean time I just turn on a random cardio video from exercise TV. I took more measurements this time than the first time through, was also brave enough to take pictures (though I'm pretty sure I will NEVER be posting those-ugh!).0
