Anyone want to start 30 day shred with me?

135gratitude

I just finished the Shred - it was GREAT! IT took 26 minutes, and I burned 260 calories according to my HRM!

My heart rate takes a serious dip during the crunches (down to the low 100's) - but I guess that is okay. I get tempted to jump up and do some jumping jacks to get it back up!

Anyone else wear a HRM?

I have a HRM monitor as well. I know what you mean about doing the crunches and your HR dropping.

It's like interval training! During certain moves (e.g. the side lunges and shoulder raises) my heart rate can go as high as 160, and then jumping jacks around 130, and then crunches 100, and then up and down again! I believe that is good for cardio conditioning though!

What do you burn in teh 20-30 minutes? A similar amount? I'm just curious!

Hi guys! I've got a SUPER busy day today! Work then school then more work and then babysitting! I had just enough time to run home and do the Shred, so I thought I'd just check-in and say hi. I should have more time tomorrow!

Sorry ladies, I'm going to have to bow out! Doctor's orders. I have been having foot pain for about a month and now he wants me to only do no-impact excercises for 3 weeks! He doesn't want me to have to have surgery.

-Good luck to you all! I will keep checking in on you guys!

You are right - comparing apples and oranges! You must be really shocked when you hear people saying they burn 1000 calories in an hour!!!! I burn about 500-600 for a full out cardio session (treadmill running, elliptical, etc), but I am 5'8" and 165 pounds! (BMI 25.2)

Just to give you guys a little motivation...

I'm starting day 9 (doing the DVD every day, so it's literally been 9 days), I took my measurements on day 1 and day 7. Though my weight loss has been minimal, I've lost 1.5 inches each on my waist and hips and 1 inch each on my chest and thighs (somehow gained 2 inches on my calves, but they are definitely getting cut).

So all the pain and sweat is worth it. You really WILL see change if you stick with it!!

I am totally bummed when i hear that many calories, however my treadmill says i burn 800-900 or just over wheni am on it for an houor and my HRM only says about 400 and a bit. My BMI is 21.2

Day 4 done & counting.

I was nervous to wake up this morning as the sqauts & lunges are making me hurt :sad:
It hasn't gotten bad enough that I had to take a day off yet, so that's a good thing :bigsmile:

I still have to get heavier weights. :grumble:

Yeah, 400 cals for an hour of running sound about right for your height and weight! That's okay though - you are looking GREAT and are almost at your goal!

Bette Midler always complained about being "petite" and not being able to eat very big portions! She said that at 5' she can't even hide 5 lbs! But, on the bright side, you are a nice light weight!

GOOD WORK!!!!!

It's so great to see that we are all sticking with this!!!

I did my second day in a row, and I was NOT that sore! I was really worried! I followed the workout with the run (and have yet to stretch) and burned 450 calories - which is a bonus!

My chest was really sore today - I am so weak in that area! I'm using 5 lb weights to start, and I think I need to increase them for bicep and shoulders, etc.

Have a GREAT day everyone!

I need heavier weights too! I was using water bottles but they aren't very heavy. My dh is a mason, so we have lots of bricks around I may see what I can find there LOL

So I was planning on taking wed and sun off the shred, but I really don't feel like i need to. are you guys doing this every day or do you take days off?

Hahaha - I can picture you with bricks in your hands!

I am doing it everyday, unless my muscles feel tired (although I'm 3 days in) in which case I will just do cardio.

How is everyone else doing it?

maybe I can make it my goal to work up to cinder blocks LOL

I usually do it 5 days a week with rest days in between. I'm seeing great results so far.

WantToBeMoreActive

I will probably be taking a day off here & there...Friday night my husband & I are staying overnight with friends so I probably won't get to do the workout on Saturday....with workouts tomorrow & Friday that will be 6 days in a row for me then a day off.

135gratitude

Okay ladies... I posted my real pic on my av.... I thought I should have a "before and after" for our 30 day SHRED!!! Shall we all do the same? Then we can see fare we've come in 30 days!

Hope you are all having a great day!

I didn't do the full Shred today. My sacrum has been out for about a week and after several failed chiropractic treatments I think it's finally back where it should be. My low back is really sore from all the manipulation though, so today I opted to skip the cardio and legs portion of the Shred in favor of doing the upper body strength moves and abs. I was planning on taking the day off from the whole thing, but found myself actually WANTING to do it! I'm going to take that as a good sign! I also walked about 3 miles in 97 degrees, so I'll let that be my cardio for the day.

I hope everybody is doing well! I'll be back in fighting shape and Shredding with you in the next couple of days I'm sure!

Okay ladies - how are we doing??? Today is day 4 for me, and the running shoes are going on right now!

Have a great day!

It`s day 4 for me too, I`m getting going as soon as the baby goes for a nap!

How are you feeling misty? My chest is really sore, but nothing else - what about you?

(and good for you to be working out while baby naps!!!! I was laying on the couch when the babes napped!).

misty589

I`m feeling good! I took a day off yesterday, but kinda wish I didn`t. The push ups are still REALLY hard for me, but the rest is okay

oh and :blushing: he`s not really a *baby* he`s MY baby, but he`s nearing 2

Hahahaha! My "babies" are 2 and 4, and I'm just losing the weight now! They've been doing the shred along with me (modified of course - more just jumping around for fun) and I find it makes the 2 year old sleep better, and the 4 year old is enjoying his rests more!

So, I haven't posted in a few days..sorry about that...I'm a little ahead of everyone. I just started day 1 of level 2 yesterday. Wow! You guys are in for a treat lol You think Jillian kicks your butt in level 1!

I'm not going to give anything away, but it's a lot more fun and intense than level 2. Hope everyone is doing well with level 1!

Was the idea that we move to level three after a week of 1? Is that the idea? My friend who moved ahead does 1 and 2 together - is that what you are doing?

Kidvicious28

Well, I started before everyone on this thread. I just joined so I could talk to ppl that are doing the shred.
I started 11 days ago on level 1 and yesterday was my first day at level 2.
There are 3 levels to the video and you do each level for 10 days ...hence "30 day shred". Each level gets a little more intense, but they're fun and you def start seeing a difference.
