30 day shred march

T0nie2

I just started the 30 day shred today for the first time (I've only had the DVD for 6 months!).

Hopefully, I will be able to stay motivated and do the work out at least 4 times a week. That is my goal!

Does anyone know (roughly) how many calories are burned with week 1? I definitely worked up a sweat and even had to stop for a minute to get water!

I don't have a HRM and don't really plan to buy one anytime soon. What is everyone else logging this workout as?

Also, feel free to add me! I need friends for more motivation!

Thanks!

I started on Monday so today is day 4, even thought my tv died and i didn't get to finish with the dvd, i tried to remember what i was supose to do....ended up hitting the elliptical for the supper sweaty part. It's tough but feeling great!

Here's to the next 30 days!!

I started day 1 today! I did 30DS a couple of summers ago and was amazed with the results - hopefully this time will be the same! For anyone curious about the calories burned for the DVD, I wore my heart rate monitor and burned 230 kcal for Level 1 Day 1 (currently weigh 157lbs).

I started it this morning! I've tried it once before but a big across the country derailed me. I'm really excited to have this group to motivate me and keep me accountable. We can do this!

Thanks for the cal info!!! I've just been logging it in as circuit training, which is what one of my friends does.

I'm starting the 30 day shred this evening. I'm nervous but my BFF and my husband are great supporters so they'll both push me through. Wish me luck!

I wonder how many calories the 22 mins burns. Do you guys think it would be accurate to use it as aerobics?

mummytobeslim

good luck everyone .I saw a post someone said they put circuit training so thats what I did ,not sure

on gillians Facebook page she said around 200cals per workout, i log it as aerobics, light (around 117 cals) then im not thinking im burning more cals than i actually am )

I'm on the second week. Kicks your butt, but you feel amazing once you get in to it. About day three you will have noticeable energy change. It pumps you up. congrats and good luck!

Just finished Day 2. I'm doing it online until I can get to the book store this weekend to buy the DVD.

As for the calories, I log it as circuit training but use a heart rate based calorie burn calculator and for my weight, yesterday was 268 calories and today was 298.

I just started it. I did my first day a few days ago. I was so sore after my first day I could not do it again until my sore body recovered. I am way more out of shape than I thought.

Today will be my second day of level one. It is a hard work out- for me at least.

I belong to a 30ds group. It doesn't seem to be very active. But then neither am I so I guess it all comes put even!

I am COMMITTED to doing this 30ds! For real.

I'm on day 22 (day 2 of level 3). I have done it everyday with no breaks. Let me tell you... if I can do this, you can! There were days when I really wanted to hide the DVD lol.

Sadly, I even brought it with me to a friend's house I was staying at for the weekend.

When you really don't feel like doing it, just tell yourself it's only 20 minutes and if I skip today it will take me that much longer to finish it.

Stick with it, you'll be glad you did!

Good luck!

I started it last month and found that I couldn't do it everyday. I did for a week straight without stopping and found I could barely lift my arms and was sore everywhere. I needed 3 days to recover. Tried it again for a week straight and same thing. I did notice an increase in weight loss and inches, but my body seems to give out after a week and needs a break. So now I am doing it every other day and walking on the days I don't do it, apparently my body is much happier now and I am still seeing the weight loss. So if any of you find it hard to do it daily, it's still effective if you are doing it every other day.... :-)

Also, I believe it falls in the category of "circuit training" so you can use that to track your calories.

I also started the 30 day shred on 3/1. I am feeling it a lot in my legs today at work, but am really wanting to succeed at this point.

I'm on Day 6. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I think I can already see a difference in my shoulders and hips. Feel free to friend me. I can use the support/give support back. It's tough, no doubt about it, but I feel so proud of myself every day when the DVD ends! For me the push-ups (girly ones at that!) and the side lunges are the hardest part.

No, your totally right! I did the shred for 7 days last month and was totally noticing a difference in that short amount of time, but then I ended up falling off because I got the flu, but I started fresh again yesterday, good luck!

laurabell86

I'm restarting the 30 day shred for March, day 1 was yesterday and I'll be doing day 2 as soon as I get home from work tonight. I'm also starting the 6 week 6 pack...wish me luck! Did both yesterday and I am sore!!! Add me! Lets stay motivated!!

lablover07

I am with all of you...starting tonight! I've done it in the past, but haven't gone the 30 days straight. The accountability and support will be great!

mummytobeslim

I found today harder than yesterday as I was aching ,I find the press ups hard and hate star jumps lol but everything else was fine ,not looked at level to yet until its time to do it but is it a lot harder than one

mummytobeslim

another thing what happens after the 30 days do you ,have a break then do it again or carry on x

I just finished my 2nd day of 30ds. I am at level one of course! I must say it is fun and inspiring to know that people all over the country and world are at the same day and level as me. I will think about that when I am 12 mins into the DVD -I will say to myself "I am not the only one in the world today working hard to change my body for the better!"

I did the level one/day one on Monday and could not work out again for days because I was so sore. But I know I can work up to doing this shred and not be sore just pushed.

Also, I am really guesstimating my calorie burn. I am 5'8" and weigh 175 ( as of today!) so I figure I burn 400 calories? Yes? No?

Also I work 12 hr night shifts in a city 2 hrs away from me. So I sleep in my car between my nightly shifts. Crazy, I know. Anyhow it means it is impossible for me to do the shred on my work days. No DVD player in my car or room for jumping jacks!!!

I've completed Day 1 today and I am already aching lol! My 9 year old daughter even joined in too
