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

    I'm on day 5 of 30DS, and i like it so far. I'm really hoping to lose some inches, and have even been doubling up some days. From now on I'm probably just going to do 30DS once a day and C25k. Im really hoping I can stick with it. Feel free to add me!

    I friend requested you :D 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).

    I accepted! Yeah, i had planned on not weighing myself until after the 30 days. I dont want a lack of weight loss to discourage me or anything. I took a couple of before pictures (eek) and hopefully i see changes.

    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

    30 Day Shred is a DVD by Jilian Michaels (The BIggest Loser chick). It's approx 20min everyday. It has 3 levels and most people seem to be doing each level for 10 days = 30 days.

    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!

    Tonight I did Shred Level 1, followed by 30 minutes of cardio (Body Pump sans weight). According to my HRM I burned 399 cals total. The one thing I noticed was that I can now do a complete set of modified push-ups without stopping, lol. Before I could only manage 3 and my arms would give out.

    How did everyone do tonight? Are you guys alternating with other workouts, or doing the Shred everyday?

    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.

    I'm thinking ahead here, but I was wondering what everyone plans are after they complete the 30 days Shred? I’m thinking of moving onto Ripped in 30 or Body Revolution.
