Good luck to every one starting day 1 tomorrow, and to all those already into level 1. I'm going to try and do it first thing in the morning to get it out of the way, and to stop me talking myself out of it! When's you favourite time to shred?

    I've just done Day 3 (phew!). Exhausting but I'm already noticing it's easier than it was on Day 1, so that's great :happy: . I prefer to exercise in the morning - if I leave it til the afternoon/evening there are too many things happening that would make it too easy to put it off. If I do it in the morning then it's over and done with for the day!

    Hey everyone. I'm with you on this jounrey. Tomorrow I will be done with insanity. Thats a big accomplishment for me because I rarely complete anything. The first time I did 30ds I didn't do the whole 30 days. But now I'm focused. If I can get thru insanity I can get thru this as well. Starting monday I will be working out with Jillian. Lets go!!!

    Wow! We have a great group shaping up!

    Good luck with the 30DS/BFBM Cwilliams8676, thats a tough challenge! I'm working back up to BFBM, its been a long time since I did it and I don't think I could jump back into it. Its a fab workout though.

    Jwanguy - Insanity? Respect!
  • I just finished my 1st round, did it 28 out of 30 days... I am very, very happy with the results! 11lbs down and 7 inches off my waist, 6 off my hips! I had 2 babies in less than a year (the 2 youngest of 4 kids) and I figured now that the youngest is 6 months old, it was time to start a serious workout! She definitely works you hard, I'll start again this time using a heavier set of weights. I also just finished week 1 of TurboFire and I don't think I could have done it without starting with the Shred.

    Well done Mandyhoward! Sounds like you rocked the shred! And fantastic stats too! Thanks for the reminder, maybe we should do a stats chart? You don't have to give your start and end stats if you don't want to, just the difference in inches/cm.
  • Goodness, those results are amazing! I just started day one today. Please please please let me see similar results! :laugh:

    I told a friend I'd start the shred with them Monday, so this group is perfect timing! Hope you don't mind a late joiner.

    Yesterday was my first day on 30 day shred... I felt pretty good in the morning, but did a 4.5 mile walk, and now my legs are quite sore. But still looking forward to doing Day 2 tonight!!!

    I've just started doing the 30 day shred 4-5 days a week. It's so hard but when it's over I always feel great, like I've really accomplished something. I haven't been sore yet, but I do sweat buckets!! Does anyone else feel like they're 'going to die' as Jillian says during the workout? I sure do!
    :wink:

    Most people seem to log it as circuit training - general under cardio

    Wow! We had 23 menbers when I went to bed last night, this morning we have 73! Way to go group!

    For those whe asked, it doesn't matter when you start as long as you keep track and try and log in each day to say you have completed your shred and how you're feeling. I'll start some new topics for each level so we can log it there.

    As for logging in the exercise diary, as ClareB said, if you don't have a HRM circuit training general is pretty good. It tend to show slighly less for me than my HRM, but as my HRM was a cheap one I don't know how accurate that is either. I use t more as a guide rather than anything else. Speaking of which, I just reset the settings on my HRM to reflect my weight now, I had to put it up by 11lbs. Ugh! That just shows how long ago it really was that I exercised last. I've also taken my measurements and pics that I'll post up a bit later, because if I procrastinate any longer I'll never get my shred done. So here goes L1 D1........ Good luck to everyone for today!

    Just been for a swim and taking the dog for a long walk later so might take today as a rest from 30DS - will see how I feel this evening. I'm finding level 2 tough on my shoulders but loving the variety of ab work in it.

    Yeah, level 2 has the toughest strengh sections doesn't it?
    Clare, were we in the same row the world challenge a little while ago? I know there was a ClareB there, but now that our personalised signatures arn't allowed I find it difficult to recognise people.

    Just did my first one today, although I did break out in a sweat my heart rate didnt get very high (119 bpm average) so im thinking Im going to have to do day 2 at level 2

    (I have been dong Jillian Michaels Shape up and Maximize dvds 3 times a week the past couple of weeks)

    Hi everyone, I just started the 30DS two weeks ago, and now have just completed Day 3 of Level 2. I am finding it much harder and intense than Level 1! I keep reminding myself that since I am working out at home alone, I am the only one who can push myself! I like to work out first thing in the morning, and as soon as I get home after work. I find that if I work out first thing in the morning, and then something comes up where I can't work out in the evening, at least I have gotten one 20 minute workout in. It took two weeks to see any results on the scale or in inches, but now (finally!!!) i am seeing some progress, and I am thrilled with it! 3 pounds and 4 inches total!

    I have had the DVD for a week now and have been so busy to do it.

    I am going to stop using that as an excuse and start it today!! It will be hard to fit it into my life but my time is not going to change in the near future so I just need to bite the bullet and get stuck in.

    Going out to lunch with some friends today... then some serious shredding afterwards!! Wish me luck: I'll need it. :o)
  • Just finished day 2 of shred and it was a tiny bit better than yesterday. Been so long since Ive done any real exercise, I'm finding it pretty difficult. I did have a couple bursts of adrenaline today that kicked in. None yesterday, so for me that's huge because it means the body is responding. Still a very tough program. My legs are like leaves shaking in the wind.:ohwell:
