30 Day Shred Challenge

smadag1

Did not get my shred on last night because DH hurt himself at work and I had to pick him up from work. Tonight is suppose to be my C25K night depending on how I feel. Did not sleep well because I was afraid of rolling over and hitting his bad arm

Sory to hear about DH, hope all is well, get your shred on when you can.

I just did the Shred for the first time - level 1 & I couldn't keep up with the jumprope & butt kickers. :sad:
I don't know if I'll do this daily. It seems my bike burns more calories, but i can do it longer.
Are you all going to do it every day?

I've been doing level 2 (with a few little rests--my god!) :sick: I haven't been losing any weight for the last few weeks, but I weighed myself this morning and I've lost 3 pounds! :happy: Thank god, I was starting to worry. A combination of the Shred and Jillian's Cardio Kickboxing dvd are finally doing the trick! I've just ordered her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism dvd, too. Jillian is the best.

My DVD didn't come with any brochure or anything.
How often are you supposed to do it?
I'm already so sore!!!! :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:
Just 20 minutes doesn't burn that many calories to make you lose 20 pounds in a month...am I getting my videos mixed up?
Is there more to it that I'm missing?

Yes you are suppose do it every day. it is a rough workout, but as you keep at it, it will become easier. actually if you do the whole 30 mins, you'll burn a little bit more than you do on the stationary bike for the same amount of time, and tou also start toning and strengthening the rest of your body as well. keep up with it, it will get easier and you'll be kicking the butt kickers soon.

yeah level 2 was wicked, wait till level three....merciless, but i know you'll knock it out. you probably didin't lose a little weight for a while because you are develpoing muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat. but i am sure that you look a little thinner though. just keep trucking it will fall off.

you are suppose to do it at least once everyday (me i try for 2X a day), it's not just the calories that you burn in those 30 mins that help you lose the 20 pounds, it's also all the muscle that you are developing while you are doing it. yes you are going to be sore, and all those muscles that got sore in that 20 mins will develop into lean muscle. Muscle has to burn 50-100 calories alone just to stay muscle, that is why the workout is about 30 mins. make sure you stretch before and after the workout, and a nice hot shower to relax those muscles. stick with it, it worked for me and will work for all of you out there

Georg

thanks!
:bigsmile:
I'll give it my best shot!

yeah i hear that, i have a bunch of the Biggest Loser DVD's, yeah it's good to mix it up to prevent from getting discouraged from doing it. I play basket ball everyday. I just try to fit it in once a day.
Keep it up, it's worth the journey.

I know you all started a week ago but is it too late to join your group now?!?!?

I completed my first 30 day shred, level 1 today. I was little skeptical at first b/c I have done the p90x workouts previously...but after completing those 90 days...I didn't workout for 3 months Now I don't have time for a 60 minute workout everyday...so The Shred it is!!!

One thing I learned...my muscular thighs don't help when completing this workout...they were BURNING!!!

Hi - Like DreeDub, can I join this challenge too? I finally did the Shred tonight (after wanting to for about 3 weeks now). Yeah, it kicked my butt! :laugh: But worth every minute! I'm going to try to commit to everyday, although I know there will be a few days when it will be physically impossible (in-laws coming to visit this weekend). But, I'm definitely hooked! My girls (6 and 3) enjoyed watching Mommy "exercise" too.

nmartin07

Okay, so when you say 30 day shred, you're talking about the DVD, right? I thought you meant the workouts in her book "Making the Cut". She's got a 30 day plan in there, but it's super comprehensive... like you figure out what kind of metaboliser you are by taking this questionnaire and then you're supposed to follow the diet and exercise program. The workouts are detailed and very difficult. You need access to a gym. Anyway, I've only done a few days, not the whole 30. Good luck!

it's never too late to Join our cause and become a Shredder lol. i know what you mean about the P90x, the workouts are too long and i can't stand listening to that guy just BS for that long either. me personally think the Shred is a better workout. Keep it up the burning will calm down (but won't stop) Welcome to our group

Yes Join us. I understand how hard it is to do it everyday. I have to plan it around my Daughters naps on the weekend lol. it is worth every minute. My daughter (2 yrs old) watches sometimes and jumps and tries what i am doing, it's pretty funny, but she tries lol. Welcome to the Group.

Yes we are talking about the DVD. i know the workout that you are talking about and correct you need gym access to do that one from the book. the DVD is easier to follow but just as tough. good luck and welcome to the Group

ourgang

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am up a pound????? WTF....

Ok so today I def, need some encourgament. I have worked out every day this week, sometime 2x running in the evening. now I'm weighting in at 229, last week I was 228:sad: :sad: :sad: :sad:

Why is this weight not coming off? in general I am staying under my calories, because I don't want to eat all of my excerise calories....I know I need to stick with this, but I really want to start to see some of this weight drop.

In June I gave birth to surrogate twins, I gained 30 pounds with the pregnancy and at my 1 week check up I was down 35lbs. Since then I have lost 20 more pounds, but still have 50+ to go......
