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

    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!

    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!

    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!!!
