So I'm starting the 30 Day Shred program today... Level 1 for the next 10 days then on up to Level 2. If you are interested in starting today then jump on the train! I attempted to get out of bed that extra hour early to do the workout but I failed....and miserably may I add. However, as soon as I get home today its into the workout clothes, tv on, weight waiting....and play on the DVD player! I know alot of people think you are supposed to let your muscles relax a day in between...however as Jillian puts it and from going to Basic training 10 years ago. The quickest most efficient way to get your body in shape is to challenge your body...each and every day. Keep your muscles working constantly so they continue to burn more fat! Alright everyone...lets do this!

    I am new to myfitnesspal as of today and have the 30 day shred at home so I will start tonight too. I have done this video several times before (my first time I lasted 10 days and I was already getting very much in shape) I must warn you, its pretty grueling, but just stick with it ,and by day 5 you will be so impressed with yourself! Also a word of encouragement - I think Level 2 is easier than Level 1 so you have that to look forward to once you conquer Level 1 :-)

    30 Day Shred is amazing. I just started it today and was really impressed with the workout and Jillians coaching style. It cracked me up though because it's like she knew when I was thinking about taking a break! ha ha

    I've done Level 1 about 5 or 6 times. I was so committed for the first 2 days of the month, got sick for 3 days ( I attempted 15 minutes of the 20 minutes) but couldn't do it and haven't started up again. However, I'm buckling down, sticking to my guns, and going to do this! Glad to have you all here with me! YAY!:flowerforyou:

    I have this DVD and planned on doing it tonight when I get home from work, but don't know how the heck I can find the time to workout everyday for 30 days. I work FT, go to school FT and have a 4 month old at home. But I'm going to try to do it at least 4 days a week (I know I know, but hey, it's better than nothing). How much weight are you supposed to lose in 30 days if you do it everyday? My overall goal is 30-35 lbs, but I know it will take me months to do that.

    Oooo! I just ordered the DVD today - I want to try it! Maybe I can do another circuit training DVD (like the Firm) until I get my Shred DVD and still participate with y'all.

    In the video she tells you 20lbs in 30 days! I understand your time crunch. I work full time, my husband is deployed and I have 2 kids at home. Totally there with ya! Maybe try and get up an extra 30 minutes in the morning to do the work out. Or if your baby is waking up at an early morning hour like 6 to be fed, feed the baby then work out. It completely kick starts your day. Now if I could take my own advice and pull myself outta bed! :happy:

    Wife and I did it tonight, first time I've ever done a video workout. Did circuit one, not bad, kind'a fun. Time sure went fast. I plan to do this one in the morning instead of me elliptical and see what shakes loose.

    I normally do dumbbell exercises like the flies and rows with 45 pounds in each hand, but only 10 or 12 reps. Tonight in the shred I used 8 pounders for the full minutes of the routine and I was dying! :laugh:

    One thing interesting. I wore my HRM for this and came up with about 210 calories. MFP says 20 minutes of circuit training is 256. Not bad,,, pretty close. HRM said I was around 135-140 beats per minute. Nice.

    So I came home and did as I promised. Changed and worked out. I feel so great! I too attempted to use my 5 lb weights the first time and there was no way- so I use the 3lbs for now. Hoping too that I can do 5 lbs come Level 2...10 days. I also logged it as Calisthenics. Hmmm.....

    Little bit of soreness in my quadriceps.

    I also did my usual 30 minutes elliptical this morning. And this is Tuesday, so I have weight training this eve while wife works late. Then I'll do the shred again tonight with her if she's up to it (and I pray that she is).

    Gonna be a long day. The good news is - I have 1600 calories left for dinner (no,,, I will not eat that, not sure I could).
