Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred?

I did the whole of the level 1 but on like day 2 of level 2 I started fainting all over the place. It might just be because of my back and fatigue problems, but I really didn't like it. Don't let it put you off though, I quite enjoyed level 1! And I still do some of the exercises but no in such an intense environment!

First post here!

I just did Day 1 Level 1... i think i am a jelly!! I managed to get through it with only 5 very small breaks (3ish seconds) - quite proud of myself... though i expect i'll be cursing myself later!

I did it with .5kg weights which is 2.2lbs total. Assumed that was what she meant by 2lb weights...not 2lb per weight?

My first post!

I just finished Day 1 Level 1, well most of it anyway. I had to take a lot more breaks than I liked because I'm at the tail end of bronchitis and a severe case of tonsilitis. Hopefully tomorrow I can push through more of the cardio.

I'm not looking to lose weight but I would like to burn fat and gain some strength. My lack of upper body strength is embarrassing.

Does anyone use this program? I just did level 1 for the first time, thinking of doing it everyday...I am over 200 pounds and I started breathing really heavy but it was worth it!
If you have been using it, have you noticed any results? Thanks!

I'm on day 3 of level 1 but I already feel good about myself and I lost 600g so I'm pretty happy I'm really sore today but it's good and not unbearable, plus my mfp buddies tell me that after day 3-4, you're not as sore, it gets easier.

I use the free videos on Youtube and I like the program. xx

Yay i just did my first 30 day shred workout! Legs feel like jelly now lol.

I do have a question regarding lunges, i keep losing my balance, any tips for finding the correct position?

The tip about the chair is good, but they'll also get easier as your core gets stronger.

I have been doing the shred (well levels 1 & 2 so far) as part of a combination of Jillian's programmes - I get bored doing the same thing too many days in a row! I started off with her 30 day slimdown (here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/636463-jillian-michaels-30-day-slimdown-starting-today, and the name is not a lie) and now I just rotate them as I fancy, and have added in the Yoga Meltdown and six week six pack into the mix.

Question: I feel dumb asking this, but so far my exercise has been limited to my FitBit sync.

Someone above said how many calories they burned doing the 30-day shred. I went to the exercises, but didn't come up with anything in the database. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!!

I am starting 30ds today and plan to do it 30 days straight.

Feel free to add me!

oh and to add the calories burned, I read on another thread there if you to exercise and cardio, then search for Circuit training and use that.

I am SO glad I started this work out! I feel totally exhausted but also energized after I finish! It's been really great! Granted I'm only on Day 2 of Level 1 but I am loving it.

I just did lvl 1 day 2! i hope i dont need to go upstairs for a while today - my legs are so sore!

When have people started to see results? i'm seriously resisting the urge to measure myself :blushing: :bigsmile:

I just did this workout last night. I definitely feel like its challenging. I'm always sore for days after any Jillian workout. The only discouraging thing is I usually seem to see a weight gain on the scale the next day rather than weight loss. I feel like this is probably just muscle but its frustrating. Also, I never know how to track this in myfitnesspal exercises.

I started 30DS last week on Nov. 6th. I plan on doing it everyday for 30days since on Dec.6th, my company has their annual holiday party and I leave for vacation on the 13th. I heard that this vid gives great results so its my last ditch effort to lose as many inches as possible.

Today will be L1 D6 for me. Will try to go to 6-8lbs weights and hopefully by L2, I can progress to 10lbs weights. Currently, I use 4lbs weights.


I noticed some people were asking what the schedule for this is, and according to Jillian, she recommends to do two days of 30DS, 1 day cardio, two days of 30DS, 1 day cardio and rest. But again, its up to you how you want to proceed.

I just did lvl 1 day 2! i hope i dont need to go upstairs for a while today - my legs are so sore!

I did day 2 yesterday and I measured myself today cause I could already feel like I had some results and sure enough I did. I lost another .6 lbs. I am sure this has a lot to do with my diet as well as exercise but I felt great about it anyway. LOL Go ahead and measure and weigh. It's not going to hurt anything just don't get discouraged if you don't see any change because the change will come.

I did it the month of October and lost 26 yes 26 inches.. No weight pin the scale, but if i had done cardio that religiously i think i would have easily lost 15 lbs.. Its hell.. But it felt so good to rip my muscles up and to hurt and be sore the first 3 days. Do it do it do our...

Hi all! So glad you are considering 30DS. I just finished Day 5 on Level 1 and feel so much better. I'm noticing that I'm getting a little bit more muscle definition (it might just be my imagination) and my endurance is definitely getting better. Feel free to join the group I'm in. It is called 30 Day Shred Challenge. I found it a few days ago and am loving that I have a place to post what I've done. The challenge is from October - December, leaving room for rest days and when life gets in the way. Also, go ahead and add me if you want.. just mention that you saw me on here. Good luck to you in your journey!
