30 Day Shred Before and After pictures and results!

I don't know why people have to be so rude because they did really well at one program and prefer that program over anything else. Different strokes for different folks.. y'all need to relax.

I think the whole focus of 30 Day Shred is to decrease your body fat, not lose xx amt of lbs. Time and time again, people always value lbs over body fat.. everyone is different. I know my body is very muscular so I weigh more than most women.

I'm on Day 3 and I can already see my stomach getting a bit flatter and some definition going on.. I only care about changing my body fat % but thats just me

the befores and afters of the shred usually aren't that dramatic. depending on your weight it burns 150-250 calories, which is around 2lbs lost in 30 days. it also is mostly cardio so there will not be noticeable muscle gains. big differences will be mostly due to the diet of the model!

it's a fun way to increase your fitness from ground level and get your heart active for 20 minutes a day, but it's not going to sculpt your body unless you diet strictly and do supplemental strength training.

and way to suck the motivation out of someone who started the program a few days ago...thanks. btw, i think you are wrong. i have seen too many before and after pics that say otherwise.

Just an FYI, the chick slamming 30 DS it's apparently recovering from an ED, and based on the majority of her posts that I've seen, she still has one. Not tryin to be nasty to her, but I've seen her post some rather unhealthy/drastic advice.

But anywho, I started 30DS today after see all of the incredible results that people have posted from just doing the program one full time. The results of people who have done it multiple times all the way through are even more amazing. It definately works.

It does only burn about 250 calories, but I've noticed I'm not near as ravenous as I am after doing an hour of Zumba. Most people I've encountered that only do 30DS, without supplementing with anything else, normally don't feel the urge to eat back their exercise calories. So 250 calories burned is better than 500 calories burned when you end up eating 400 of them back.

Not slam YOU but you really shouldn't be assuming someone has an ED. You don't know her. As far as you saying you burn that many cals during JM's workouts. It's BS unless you are like 300 lbs. Only extremely overweight burn that many cals with such little intensity. Yes, I said, "little" intensity. I have all of her workouts and the most I burn is less than 200 with her measly 30 minute workouts. They are not very intense and there is too much time in between each exercise. I have done Insanity as well as other workouts and the only workout that has you burn that many cals during the workout is either Chalene or Insanity. BTW, I finished Insanity and got my tee. In case you were going to retort. Anyway, my point being, JM is not that intense and you do NOT burn that many cals unless you have several lbs to lose.

Tried it yourself have you?

It is an anarobic exercise. Not cardio. You are supossed to add walking or cardio to the workout according to jm on her website. The other workout like ripped in 30 and extreme shed and shred are 45 minutes and longer because you cover both cardio and stregth.

I don't know about the people saying it doesn't get results, they must be doing it differently than I did. I had pretty amazing results with it, especially in terms of gaining muscle tone. It's a good mix of cardio and strength, in my opinion. I'm a mom who works full time, so all my workouts happened after my son went to bed at night, and a short workout video was about all i had time and energy for at that point. The main thing that got me through it and kept me going? The fact that it is only 20ish minutes long. I cannot find one excuse that would justify not being able to fit in twenty minutes. It's over before you know it!

Wish i had a REAL before photo and actually took measurements, but sadly i didnt.

But here's where i started from after having my son:

160lbs

and here is where i ended up, after doing Shred a few times (increasing difficulty each time)

125lbs


I was in a size 4 in that after picture at 125. I weighed about 123 few years prior (with no exercise), and i was a size 8/9.
if you stick with it and make smart choices with your diet, you WILL see results, I promise.

Can I ask what equipment you need for 30 DS? Thank you.

Handweights and a mat if you are working out on a hard floor, and that's it!

Good morning.
Measurements...weighed in at 171.4 this morning and took 5 key measurements for an inches total of 155.25. Here's to lower numbers by Sept 1st! Looking forward to dusting off the Jillian DVD later today.

I'm sorry, but that must be a typo. There is no way someone is going to lose 155 inches in less than 2 months. (not even if one is extremely obese)

What do you think is a reasonable calorie count for doing this video? Not sure how much to count. I don't have a HR monitor or anything. Thanks for your input!

It is different for everyone, but Jillian's website tells me 332 for level one....my hrm tells me 366, but my heart rate usually stays around 150-170 the majority of the workout.
