30 Day Shred! Anyone?

MILFdoesabodyGd

Jillian Michaels made me her b*tch tonight. I haven't worked out in months. This was only day one but I am proud of myself already.

Anyone else have input on the shred?

The 30 Day Shred was a great intro and helped me gear up for Insanity. You think Jillian's a B*tch? You should try working out with Shaun T. Shaun makes Jillian his...well...you get the idea.

I would love to try again, I made it to 2 weeks and lost 8 pounds. but I lost motivation. I get bored easy.

Just keep going. I actually managed to do 30 Day Shred. It was difficult alright, but manageable. Then I tried the Banish Fat Boost Metabolism video and Jillian definitely made me her B**** on that one. I thought I was dying. Good luck!

I don't think I will get bored, I've done another dvd workout before for a couple consecutive months and was fine. Maybe do every other day 30DS and Zumba or something fun?

As for the insanity and this Shaun guy, I'll pass....for now I'm easing into this and my body is definitely saying to me right now..."wtf?!"

thanks for the encouragement what kind of results did you get from it?

Started the 30DS last week, on Day 7 Level 1, already lost 2 lbs, 4 inches, and have tons more energy. I like that I can burn about 250 in just 25 minutes and feel encouraged all day long. My abs finally stopped being sore around day 5, hoping to keep this going as part of my workout options. :flowerforyou:

I didn't take my measurements yet but I think my waist is a 30. Is it your waist you are measuring?

I just started tonight, and I feel like a noodle... I THOUGHT I was in shape... apparently not.
Looking forward to loosing more, but mainly loosing inches!

That's what's great. Jillian is a great way to break into what is called High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). You get your heart rate up with exercise, sustain it there, and then let it come down for a little bit of a breather before you shoot it back up again. You'll definitely be sore working out with Jillian if you haven't worked out for a while. All I really meant to say is that the 30 Day Shred is a great first step on your road to better fitness. She helped me shed a few pounds and a little off my waistline. I wish you the best of luck getting through all 30 days. It's killer at the beginning, but then your muscles get broken in and you'll see yourself building stamina and strength.

I am on day 8, level 2. The first day of level 2, I wanted to cry! But the 2nd day was teeny bit easier, we'll see how tomorrow is. I took measurements and I definitely have seen some shrinkage in my muffin top and tummy already! She rocks!

Indeed, Shaun T. chews you up, spits you out, and then slurps you back up again only to swish you around and spit you back out again.

What Shaun T dvd are you using?

Mama2HnC

Anyone can add me, to keep me accountable.
I plan to do my usual pilates in the am as well...

I'm on day 3 of the Shred and loving it. My 5 & 6 year old have been doing it with me, using soup cans for weights. I think it's a great workout for 20 min of your time. My arms are sore, though.

hiker282

I'm doing Insanity right now, and hoping to finish off a round and then hit the Asylum. What's a great reward for killing a punishing workout? Get an even more brutal workout.

I am on Level 1 day 6. When I started it I thought there was no way it was going to get easier. I couldn't even keep up and had to stop a lot. Now I am able to keep up most of the time. I took my measurements the first day and pics. I measured my bust, waist, hips, thigh and took my weight. There are a lot of people on here doing it and they have seen great results so I am just trying to stick with it. For the people who get bored easily or get annoyed by Jillians voice, it was suggested to me to do it without volume and to listen to music instead when you get the routine down and don't feel like you have to watch every second or need her instruction. I do it every other day so essentially it will be the 60 ds for me instead of 30 days.

What kind of workouts does Shaun do? Is Insanity also circuit training?

VRuff

today was my day 4 on lvl 1 and i cant do a single full pushup at all! even when i do the modified version i still cant get all the way down but i try my best and do as much as i can. im thinking ill probably keep doing lvl 1 until i can do the pushups, but i really wanted to do the 3 levels in 30 days. i was thinking of adding her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism video to my daily workout to increase my weight loss...any suggestions?

I kind of feel like I'm hijacking this thread. Insanity is circuit training on steroids. I know that sometimes infomercials are hard to swollow, but check out the infomercial and some of the real people doing the workouts. It's killer:

Today was my first day...and its very good..!!

After i finished the workout...for the next 1 hour i felt like i had such low energy and was feeling very dizzy....may be because it was too much for me...i have never done something like this before...
i drank so much water and then had food along with protein shake...

But at the end..i LOVED IT....even my husband also promised to do with me...he finished his first day he liked it....and we both promised to do this for 30 days...we took measurements today and I have to see how it works for us in the coming days..

I am very exited about this!!!

Do join the group 30 Day Shred Valentine Hotties who have started this!!

I'm on level 1 day 9. I JUST started enjoying it maybe the last 2 days. I still HATE the static lunges and don't feel like I'm doing the slide lunges correctly, and I do modified pushups. Other than that I love it so far. i've noticed my endurance get a lot better like she says it will, and I've also been steadily losing weight and inches and looking more toned. I do a lot besides just 30ds but I'm sure it's contributing to a lot of that!

I hear level 2 is really hard. I googled what moves are in it because I wanted a sneak peek of what's about to come haha.

I finished day 3, level 1 today. I've been walking around pretty sore in the legs since I started. I think I need heavier weights to really work my arms more. I hope to get the whole 30 days in!

I'm on day 5 of the Shred and although it's getting easier...I still curse at her when it's time for jumping jacks! But I love it! Can't wait to move into level 2!

I agree about the arm weights!

I'm thinking about switching up the weights depending on the exercise. I went up from 3 lbs for maybe a few days to 5 lbs and I still find lunges difficult to finish without resting out a couple of them. So I don't want to go heavier there. And I guess I don't go high enough on anterior raises, so maybe 5lbs are right there.....dumb bell rows and chest flies are such a piece of cake for me, and the bicep curls, that I feel like I should go up in weight. The only other dumb bells I have though are 10 lbs. NOOOO.

I'm on Level 1 Day 4 and I am loving it. I noticed on Day 3 yesterday that I had a much easier time getting through the workout which makes me excited. I do the 30DS daily and every other day extra cardio at the gym.

MILFdoesabodyGd

I so love hearing everyone's feedback. Of all the strength exercises done, I think anterior raises are the hardest for me. I'll get stronger and better.

I know I only did this one day, and I didn't eat clean all weekend, (however, I don't feel I overdid it) but I weighed myself this morning and was 4 lbs over my start weight!! Talk about discouragement.....
