starting the 30 day shred

Good for you that's awesome. Mind if I join you on this journey?

hi iv not heard of the 30 day shred :blushing: could someone give me some info on it plzzz

If you have access to youtube search 30 Day shred. You can do the levels from Youtube. They are tough! I'm currently in Level 3. We started a challenge on October 1. LEvel 2 is the worst but 3 kicks both up a notch.

To those who hate planks... LEARN to LOVE them! They get easier with each passing day! Good luck you you all! So far I have lost 2" from my waist and hips doing this routine. Weight hasn't moved too much but I'm down two pant sizes. remember to push it, but not to a point of injury. I would push it and then do it with less intensity until the pain was gone, then I stepped it up and pushed it a few days again. This workout should make you feel like you are going to die, but each day once you're done, you will feel like a million dollars for finishing. Keep returning, it's 30 days of your life, What have you got to lose?
For me it was inches, a bad mood, and lots of excuses as to why I couldn't. I FOUND a happy person who can fit into a size 10 again, who loves to work out, and despite the difficulty returns every morning just to prove I can!

thanks colleen118, im going to take a look on youtube now :happy:

Day 1 30 Day Shredd Complete. Anyone know how to log this for exercise? I hate that you can't pull video tapes up on the exercise portion of this tracker.

Tomorrow is going to be my "day one" - and only because I work from 7 am to 10 pm on Tuesdays and sincerely do not have the drive to get up any earlier or stay awake any later than I already do. I'll join you guys on the 30DS. Good luck, all!

I am on day 10, but missed 5 days last week because I was feeling a little bit under the weather. It is actually true, you build endurance by day 4 and 5. I love it now. I can also see a difference in my waist line and I simply love it. Hope I'll figure out how to post pics and post some soon

You're all making me so excited to start this! I did day 1 AGES ago but then I just completely forgot about it. I do remember absolutely aching the day afterwards though, so I'm not exactly looking forward to that. But oh well, no pain no gain right? Or rather, no pain no loss. I was going to wait until the morning to start, but this thread is super motivating so I think I'll go change into workout clothes and start right now :-)

Level 2 Day 7 COMPLETED!!! good news is, the plank moves are becoming easier!

i just started today, I had to modify quite a few exercises because of my knees. Its perfect i'm not alone.

I actually just found 30 day shred about a month ago. Stumbled on it at the local library, and liked it so much I bought her 30 day shred, killer buns & thighs, & her frontside/backside beginners. My goal has never been to lose weight, but I'd like to regain the bum I had when I was in my early/mid twenties. I've never had a real workout routine or bothered with exercise, except to finally begin walking a year ago. So far I am loving these videos and I simply alternate them each time, but I must say the killer buns & thighs.... well, it really is a killer workout.

Sorry for the rambling. I was very excited to find this support group resource but I'm still not really clear on how to make best use of it. I'd love to join an accountability group that might motivate me to stay on track with at least one video workout per day, and the walks. My goal is not weight loss but rather to firm up, so I'm not quite sure which groups/challenges I would fit into. Any advice would be most appreciated, or perhaps you can point me to a group that is beginning a Jillian Michaels or standard workout challenge to keep me on track.

L1D8 for me today. I can get thru everything but the lateral raises. I can do the side lunges fine too, I guess I just have weak arms! Question for y'all, me calves started feeling super tight two days ago. Anyone know some really good stretches for your calves?

L2D2 is in the books. I approached level two with white knuckled terror having read that so many people hated it, but I like it much better. I sweat more, but I feel less tapped out afterward.

Man, though. Plank twists slay me. Jillian is a devil come to Earth but I thank her for her mercy in putting those last because I just crumple into a ball after those bad boys.

I've only done 2 days and one of my arms seriously hurts when I move it. Not sure whether you are meant to just power through it - putting more strain on it seems silly but I don't want to have a day off after two days.

I'm on second week of L1, but am only doing it twice a week. I am running/walking in between sessions. If I did it every day I would get sooo bored and lose interest. It still works just as well. Best to adopt it to your lifestyle, and most of all, be able to enjoy it!

I bought the dvd 5 days ago so I think I will join in!
