My 30 day shred experience

Thank you for sharing your experience. And.... congrats on your determination to persevere!.... and the results that YOU earned! Keep on!

Thanks you so much. I just realised you're right I did earn it. that makes it feel even better

Thanks for this post! I am going to be on day 3 of level 1 tomorrow, and I'm already getting discouraged by how hard it is! But I know I can do it! (Just not looking forward to level 2.....)

No, don't get discouraged. It's hard for a reason and you started it for a reason, and those reasons are to get a more svelte shape, and you will!

keep going, it does get easier. It's so surprising how quickly you adapt to the exercises that killed you on day 1. Level two was my least favourite but I know others who preferred it lol

Just keep going.

Remember, stand up and finish what you started. The sense of achievement knowing you did it all, is uplifting x

THANK YOU! I needed this post as I'm on day 4 of Level 2 and I am getting discouraged! I felt a vast improvemnt over level 1 and I feel like I've gone back to square 1 on level 2! I'll keep at it and pray to God level 2 gets easier!

Congratulations on completing 30DS!

I felt exactly the same way babe. I was overjoyed I had advanced on level one but then level two made me feel like I'd taken ten steps forward and 100 steps back. I think that was one of the many reasons why I cried at the end of level two on just the second day of it.

But I did keep going, and I did adapt and develop, and you will too. Don't despair, you're awesome and remember that x

How did you guys log 30 DS on here? Did you break it up? Put it all in Cardio?

Hi

Yeah, I added it as Cardio but created my own exercise as MFP didn't it. I created a new one for each level as my HRM gave different calorie burns for each level.

AWESOME JOB!!

I'm thinking about breaking this DVD out again and giving it a whirl on top of the other workouts I'm doing!

Congrats )

What other workouts are you doing? I do Zumba, Pilates and jogging.

LOL about not being able to squat to go to the toilet! I KNOW that feeling! I am on Day 4 Level 1 and doing it three days a week. I have heard the stories about Level 2 being so much worse than the others and am dreading it, but you say it's arms and I really need the work there most of all.

Congrats to you on your accomplishment! And good luck on your next Jillian adventure.

It's funny because a friend of mine prefers level two! LOL But I definitely felt it in my arms and mine needed that work. I'm still doing those arm exercises as I have noticed a vast improvement to the shape and strength in my upper and forearms now, so it's all worth the pain.

Thank you for your lovely words, and good luck with your 30 days xx

Claire,you truly are an inspiration. I ran out and got the DVD,did level 1 along with my gym workout.I totally get the not being able to squat to go to the bathroom.LOLI wanted to quit,but going to KEEP ON PERSEVERING,thanks to your encouraging words.Way to go on your wt.loss,I wish you all the best!!:)

Oh thank you so much. That's such a lovely compliment. The bathroom became my nightmare LOL I had to use the side of the tub to help me sit and stand back up! LOL

Thankfully that went away after day four. Then it was arms that screamed everyday!

Do keep going, it is totally worth it, not only for the improvements but for that sense of achievement.

Keep saying it like I did ; Stand up and finish what you started. You will amaze yourself as each day passes.

Please let me know how you got on, I love hearing other peoples success stories xxxx

ahhhhh 30 Day Shred has been sitting on my desktop for the past two days. I havent stopped running everyday but for some reason it a bit daunting. You may have just given me that extra kick in the bum to take it on tonight! I'm 134, aiming for 125, but mostly I'm concerned with my belly(it's a big softie haha) "Finish what you started" is my new motto!

Thanks so much for that!

Your success is amazing!

xoxo

It was daunting for me too. I left it a few weeks, and thought about it, and even weighed and measured myself but then chickened out. I eventually thought ;do it, and do it now' and I did! You can do it too, and your softie will be a firmy in no time

Thank you for your lovely words. I'm glad my story has helped so many people, including my friends and family x

OK you-all convinced me I am going out to get the 30 day shred. It will be an interesting change.

It helped mix up my workouts, adding new moves and using different muscles. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even those dreaded planks! All I can say is thank goodness she didn't have me doing burpies. I hate those!

Thank you SO much for sharing your story! how amazing and you must be SO PROUD!! congrats and way to go and YAY! I am 4 days away from finishing it myself (just did day 6 of level 3 today but im going to take a rest day so i'll actually finish Tuesday)...and I can't wait! i've never done any workout video like this that has been SO tough and challenging but that is why i love it (because I hate it! lol). but once i finish it i think it will be a great accomplishment, as that is what it is!

thank you for your story :flowerforyou:

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's weird because I do have to remind myself, and when I do, that sense of pride is huge. It's like a drug.

I'd love to hear about your success when you finish on Tuesday. Please let me know how you got on. I love success stories.
