Starting 30 Day Shred tomorrow 05-08-12 - friends?

I just finished Shred level 1 a few minutes ago and burned 200 calories I'm not sure I'm quite ready for level 2. I might stick to level 1 for a couple of more days since I'm still having trouble with some of the moves.

i am planning to start it tomorrow. i am nervous but let's compare notes after.

@bostonandie

I do another workout after it, either Leslie Sansone WATP or jumping rope.

How did you track the calorie burn in your MFP?
I am starting this tomorrow & i was wondering how i was going to track this as a calorie burn and if i was even going to be able too.
This really does more than just a calorie burn you need to look at really everything this is doing for you, because this gives you a little bit of cardio and a lot of strength.

I workout with my HRM so I just go by the numbers it displays after I'm done.

@ttdowls

I friend requested you I'm also hoping to lose inches, not so worried about the numbers on the scale (though it's a bonus if it registers a loss). I’m only going to weigh myself after the 30 days. Hopefully the before and after pictures will show the changes in my body (fingers crossed).

Please excuse my ignorance but what is a 30 day shred?

Feel free to add me, too, I could use more buddies around here and I'm friendly

I posted this as a separate topic but no one replied:

I'm starting the 30-day Shred tonight. I've never done it before, and did an hour of cardio earlier and would like to do a little yoga later to wind down and for extra stretching to avoid soreness. Do you all do ONLY the 30-day Shred, or do you do other stuff with it? I'm okay with it taking the place of my strength training for now, but reluctant to give up my daily yoga and interval training on the treadmill.

I generally do 30 mins on the treadmill + 30 day shred(at least the last few times ive done it) but I find the shred tough so other people maybe able to do more but for me thats enough

I'm on day 2 today and was wondering about the everyday thing. We use weights including bicep curls, aren't you supposed to rest the muscles you worked so wouldn't every other day make more sense? Or should I drop my weight, I was using 8lbs for that but I have 5lbs as well so would that keep it more like cardio as opposed to stength training? I was thinking I would get back up to 10lb then go beyond for weights but maybe that isn't what 30 Day Shred is for.

Also, Jillian Michaels website. I signed up for my free 30 day trial last night. I enter in 30 Day Shred and it comes up as 30 min so I changed it to 24 min, and the calories popped up as 330 cals burned so I changed that to 240. I didn't use my HRM but from past experience with it i burn about 100cal per 10 min for these types of things, and higher whe I go 40min +.. What kind of calories burned are people getting for this with an HRM? I know we're all different, I'm just curious.

I just started today. I just got finished. And while it burned, I actually finished! I have had the darn thing for a month, and was to chicken to do it, glad I finally just did it! I feel really good! I am going to be doing it every other day, as I am doing c25k 3 days a week as well, and then 1 rest day! Feel free to add me! I could use a group to push me to finish!

Well done!!!

I did day 2 of level 1. I used progresso soup cans instead of spaghettio cans for my hand weights! LOL! I pushed all the way through and did not stop. I have a hard time with it due to bad arthritis in both knees, but I pushed myself. I burned over 200 calories according to my HRM and then went on a walk with my dog for 11 minutes. I am trying to work some walking in with 30 DS.

Yep count me in! I'm in Western Australia!
