    Hi guys, I've just jumped in this group, hope it's okay, I don't have 30 Day Shred as I'm in Australia and can't find it here, but I am on Day 3 of JM's Ripped in 30, which sounds pretty similar. Day 1 nearly killed me -- I had to have a lie-down for 1/2 an hour after i finished lol, as I thought I was going to pass out -- my 16yo DD did Day 1 yesterday and had to do the same :tongue: Day 2 was ok, I felt good. I'm about to go and do Day 3 in a minute. Do any of you do it first thing in the morning? I want to do it then, but am worried about being wiped out for the rest of the day -- not a problem while I'm on holidays as I am at the moment, but when I go back to work, walking around like a zombie is not conducive to getting any work done :ohwell:
    Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress :smile:

    Day 1 done. I also did an hour on the wii with Just Dance 3. I think that is a really fun way to workout & burn calories. I had planned on going to Zumba tonight, but I have a head cold that decided to knock me off my feet for the rest of the day. Hoping day 2 will be good.

    Today is my day 1 and I'm about 8 hours post workout and I am sore!! I have been working out consistently (hard) 4 to 5 times a week and so I'm in pretty great shape - well, she sure showed me! The strength sections killed me a bit. It was a relief to move on to the cardio and ab circuits! I love knowing that I was working some different muscles than I usually do and am looking forward to seeing some real results. I'm still doing regular gym workouts and spinning classes, but will probably take it easy at the gym as my body gets used to this. Thanks for the group, looking forward to seeing everyone's progress!

    Thank you to everyone who joined me on the 30 day journey to Shred. And thank you to Sherri for recommending to me that I start a group so everyone can keep up with each other.

    So here we are, post away and good luck to everyone on day 3.

    Woot! We got a home! Thanks for making the group!

    Day 2. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought. Even though my muscles were so sore, it felt okay. Looking forward to tomorrow. Well maybe not, but I Plan on doing it in the morning before I get ready for work.

    Yikes! From everyone else's posts I seem to be the minority here, but I was struggling more from tonights workout (L1D2) than yesterday. Probably because I was slightly sore from day one I'm sure. Anyway, my hubby is doing it as well with me, and it is so nice to have someone to share the pain with me during the workout! :happy: Good Luck tomorrow everyone!

    Thanks for starting a group! I feel this will help me stay motivated while keeping in touch with everyone. I did L1D2 early Monday morning. My thighs are so sore right now lol. Pushups are a struggle but I did try a few. Jumping jacks, butt kicks, jumprope....ugh they all kill me. What I did today was to just jog in place to keep my heartrate going when I couldn't continue with the cardio she did. My own lil modification lol.

    On day 1 i also did Leslie Sansone's 3 mile super walk and will continue to add that when I can.
    I plan to also get back to my zumba classes at the gym. I really want to lose the weight this time!

    I'm ready for day 3 in the morning!

    Can someone please fill me in on what is involved in the 30 Day Shred?:ohwell: :blushing:

    It's really just a cardio dvd, that you follow, 3 minutes strength, 2 min cardio, 1 minute abs, and you do this 3 times. There are 3 levels and you do each level for 10 days

    I just did level 1 day 5, some parts are easier, some parts are just as hard! For some reason I really struggle with the first lots of jumping jacks and skipping, but the last lot I can do!

    Do you think we should have 3 threads? One for each level, then we can talk in each level, as everyone seems to be a little bit different in their days?

    Hello everyone! I joined this group because I started my 30DS on Friday just gone. So today I am about to attempt D5L1.

    Yesterday morning was the hardest for me so far, only because I decided to wake up 1 hr earlier before work and do my workout on an empty stomach ... For the first time since I started I had to have little breaks ...

    Today I will do my workout in the afternoon, at least I will have more energy ...

    If anyone wants to add me, please feel free. :)

    On a different note, isn't the name of group a bit girlish... :embarassed:
    I'm sure many guys do this workout as well...

    Just did L1D3 - for some reason it was harder than day 2. I hope it gets easier eventually! Those side lunges with lateral shoulder raises kill me every time - I had to shift to front raises half way through the second set - my arms just refuse to do that move any more!

    I'm only doing the 30DS every alternate day - so you're all going to get ahead of me pretty soon - I hope you don't mind me tagging along! Feel free to add me if you want.

    Tell me if the "Hottie" Valentine candy as our group picture is a bad idea. LOL!

    I did the 30DS this morning and combined it with my normal gym workout and I made it through. I'm sooo tired now but feel good for accomplishing it. I'd say, try it. If you're miserable on Thursday then don't do it the next week.

    I think I'm going to start a new Topic for each day so we won't have tons of comments on one thread. I'll just name them the day we're on.

    Its so girly :)... There are men on this forum as well. LOL

    Hi everyone-

    Today was my L1D1. While I was doing it, I had the most trouble with the push-ups - even the "girlie" ones. I felt okay afterwards - I felt like I had a good work-out, but I felt energized. As the day went on, I felt more and more sore. First it was my back when I got up from the sitting position. At the end of the day, it was the back of my thighs... My plan is to run every other day. I just hope I can make it. Is there a place where people are tracking their measurements?

    Good luck to everyone!

    I'm open to suggestions. But the name doesn't mean men can't be a part of this group. But the majority is women so "Valentine Studs" is out. LOL! How about...
