I'm new to working out first thing first. What's the 30 day shred? Where can I find it? And is it good for beginners?

You can find 30 Day Shred on Youtube for free on the channel called BeFit.

I'm on day 2 but I really like it so far.

hi stephfork
i did day one yesterday, not that sore, just remember the stretches at the end, do it for a little longer than JM.
i read somewhere if u drink glass of milk after workout u wont be as sore, that's what i did.
keep it up.
post your workout progress.

I was supposed to start on the 1st of October. I did a day & that was it.

I am going to try again. It's just hard to try & find a good time to do it. I'm not a huge fan of exercising really early in the morning but I guess that's the only time I can do it. :sad:

I might get back into it now that I'm back seeing my personal trainer.

I started on October 1st, so today was day 1 of level 2. There are aspects of level 2 that are difficult, but overall, I think it was easier for me than the first couple days on level 1. Honestly though, it took me until the last couple days to be able to do all the exercises without stopping at all (though, I can still only do the wimpy push-ups. That is a work in progress).

I was hoping to find something on here for the 30 DAY SHRED and ta-da!

I started DAY 1 yesterday .... to be fair it WAS tough and i was SWEATING LOADS! haha but it was do-able! I was quite pleased!

I can't do proper push ups yet but maybe in time..............

after I was finished i felt SO GOOD1 and felt like i could DO MORE! crazy. I diddnt though, good job too as i ACHE SO MUCH today haha.

Thats not just from 30 DAY SHRED DAY 1 but from other exersise the other day.

IT'S GOING TO HURT TODAY THOUGH! BUT I'M DETERMINED!

I hope I see results

GOOD LUCK TEAM SHREDDIES!

Do you mind if I join you???

I'm on holiday for 4 days next week though - but would rather start it now hoping that I will continue when I get back!!! Feel free to moan at me if I don't :-)

I've tried the shred once before and got to Level 2, day 2 but had to stop for health reasons a couple of months back, but am now ready for the challenge.

SURE!

Let's do this!!!

Ami525- I'm surprised that I'm not too sore. I can definately feel it in my abs but everything else feels ok. I'm looking forward to the challenge again today!

Is anyone doing anything in addition to the 30 Day Shred?
I'm thinking of also doing the elliptical or treadmill 30-45 min about 4-5 days a week.
If you were to do this would you do the 30DS and then do cardio or do cardio first and then do the 30DS?

I'm in day 4 today too! I read in a couple of other threads that JM says to do it as follows: 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 1 day rest. That's my plan. On my cardio days I either do elliptical or run for 45 minutes. And on most shred days I do 15-20 minutes of elliptical afterward for an extra calorie burn.

The only meal plan I follow is eating most or all of my net calories on MFP, but I'm a former Weight Watchers follower so I still aim for 5-7 fruits and veggies and all my neccesary calcium for the day.

Right now level 1 is a challenge, but I'm excited to bump up to level 2. Some of the strength moves are a little too easy. I misplaced my 5# weights, so I'm only using 2.5# ones.

Oh, and I have 50 pounds to lose!

I swim twice a week for an hour each time and dance on Saturday nights!

This sounds like a good plan! For some reason I have it in my head that I have to do it everyday for 30 days straight. I think mixing it up with cardio & a rest day will give great results.

Good luck with level 2!!
