30 Day Shred

Stacyanne324

Im on day 4 of level 2. I have to take several 5 sec breaks. Level 1 felt good and I could get through it without huffing and puffing, but not level 2! I hate any plank exercise. They suck so bad!

Ah...yes, planks. I think that is what I enjoyed most about level 1 of 30DS after going through RI30. No planks!! I guess I'll enjoy it until level 2.

Do any of you use an HRM and if so, what kind of numbers do you get?
I was using MFP's "Circuit Training, General" for 20 minutes which estimates 350 or 390 cals burned.
My HRM said 140 tonight, which seemed AWFULLY low for as hard as I was breathing and sweating!

Just curious what you all are seeing?

I put in Circuit training, General and I got about 170 cals. So maybe you accidently put in a little more.

I am going to start it today. Does everyone do it every day or every other day?

You move to the next level after your first week if you feel it gets easier and easier! I love this workout and it really works!

Planks get easier before you know it!

I'm on day 3 of level 1. I took yesterday off to rest. I'm definitely noticing that I can stick with it better each day, and also that I'm getting progressively less sore each time. Feel free to add me too, could always use more friends on here.

Ok guys I'm on L2 D4. Still can't make it all the way through the planks without resting. ugh

Anyone NOT losing weight? I don't SEE a difference either? How many cals are you eating with the shred?

I'm on Level 3. I haven't lost weight (unless I have lost some since last week, haven't weighed yet this week). But I have lost some inches. The differences I saw first was increased strength and endurance. The pad of fat in front of my armpit and inside my knees went away. The fat around my back at the waist started shrinking and is almost gone. My legs are starting to look more shapely and less dimply. My butt is shaping and firming a bit. And I began to see some definition in my abs starting. I still have a lot of fat on the gut but the supporting muscles connecting the gut to my sides is definitely starting to show. I cannot do some of the moves so I substitute other moves I can do so that I keep the heart rate up. I do the best I can with the planks and rest for a few seconds if I have to. I am only using 1 and 2 pound weights.

Keep after it. I went from the couch to this and I am amazed at the results I'm seeing. I care less about the number on the scale now as long as the fat keeps shrinking.

I'm eating 1600 calories and not eating my exercise calories.

I started on the 3rd. and I'm on L1 D5 ... I haven't done it yet today, but plan on it when I get home from work.

I think I'm going to go through the levels on my own timeline. Once I can really do level 1 without taking breaks then I'll move on.

SO it will probably more like a 90 day shred! lol

I started last night!! Not too bad because I've been doing some of the Insanity workouts off and on, but I was definitely tired by the end. Glad it's only 20 minutes long! I'm trying to decide if I'm going to do 10 days at each level. I get bored easily with workout videos so I may do 7 days at each level and then on the last 7 days rotate the videos every 2 days...

Does anyone know if that will mess things up?

I only did 5 days of Level 2 because it irritated an old shoulder injury. Will just do Level 3 longer. I added in doing 6 Week 6 Pack as well. Shouldn't goof you up.

It is a DVD workout program by Jillian Michaels. There are three levels which you do 10 days at each level and each workout takes about 20 minutes plus warm up and cool down. She puts you through 3 circuits using her 3-2-1 style of training where you do 3 minutes of strength, 2 of cardio, and 1 of abs for each circuit. People have had amazing results doing this program. I've only been through her Ripped in 30 one all the way through but lost a lot of inches with that so I started this one today. We started a group for people beginning the Shred this month so feel free to join if you would like. It's under 30 day shred - 2/7 start but if you can't find it just friend me and I'll send you an invite. Good luck!!

Just did L2 D4...I'm sooooo sleepy today. I haven't been sleeping well at night so I was going to take tonight off to rest up. My conscious got the best of me and felt guilty not doing it. GLAD I DID!!

I did day 1 on level 1 last night. Knees and back are sore but I'll push threw tonight! Need support!

I'm currently on Day 10, and i've done Level 2 for 2 days. I can really notice a difference in my hips and thighs already, so I know this is definately working. Stay motivated, I'll admit there has been the odd day that I haven't done it - but I'm enjoying seeing the results. My trousers are fitting much nicer, and people are starting to notice - YAY! :drinker:

You get so sore, but it gets so much easier - then you move to the next level and BAM there's the soreness again! But keep going guys, we're all doing so well :flowerforyou:
