30 day shred, starting July 1st! day 1-10

timeforchange

Hey all,
I have recently been introduced to Jillian Michaels' "30 day shred" (available on youtube :P) and was thinking that since tomorrow is the beginning of a new month it would be the perfect time to get a group together to work through it!
If your interested in starting the 30 day shred, start here by posting your current measurements!
Let's do this together!!!!

I'd like to join. I've done it a couple of times in the last 2 weeks, but not consistently. I'm moving tomorrow, so my current measurements will have to wait until I get my tape measure unpacked.

I should explain more
From what I understand, it's a 3 level, 30 day program ( or as long as you want it to be ) and each workout is just 20 minutes a day. You need light weights ( i'm going to use waterbottles) and a mat if ur working out on hard surfaces. She focuses on circuit training - cardio, strengthening and abs!
It looks perfect! especially for those of us that need to squeeze in a quick yet super effective workout.
I hope you guys will join me!
Here are my stats!
weight : 195 lbs
waist: 99 cm
hips: 109 cm
arms: 39 cm
thighs: 68 cm

So I found her videos... wow is all I can say... I'm in for a real treat tomorrow.... I can't wait though

rhymeswithfox

So I've decided to work out every morning before breakfast. Also (don't know if this is cheating) but I will be going to the gym a few days a week after work so my exercise is scattered and varied. Anyways, my opinion on the workout!

Very tiring! I was sweating waaaay more than when I go at the gym. I feel the workout in my legs, stomach, and arms. You definitely get in cardio and strength training. I used five pound weights so that made it even harder (most seem to use 3 pounds, but I don't own those). Plus, I had to use my five second breaks to try to gulp down as much water as possible- it was an extreme workout! Anyways, I definitely think this is an amazing workout session and I think it will be even more effective with my treadmill runs at the gym in the afternoon and a good diet! Good luck everyone!

Also, how many calories do you think this session burns? I'm more tired out than when using the treadmill and I burn about 270 there with similar results on the elliptical. Plus this works more areas. I'm going to say maybe 300? To high? To low?

EDIT: Somewhere I saw someone say about 225- So I'll write that for now.

hey group!
So I just did day 1 of level 1 and WOW! When I originally just "watched" the video to see what it was like, I was not expecting THIS!!! I'm so sweaty! It's definitely intense and I think it's a keeper!!!! I know I'm going to be sore tomorrow, that's forsure!
I was wondering if anyone in the group has a heart rate monitor to find out how many calories we are burning? I haven't gotten one yet!
Thanks,
