    I just did Level 1 Day 1 yesterday and will do Day 2 tonight. I'm also jogging, so not sure how if I'll be able to do both simultaneously every single day. My upper arms are a little sore but not as bad as I thought they'd be. I'll probably be singing a different tune tomorrow after doing it another day. I only have 5 lb dumbells, and wish I had a little smaller, but at least it's a challenge. Also, if you don't have a HRM, what's the best way to estimate calories burned on MFP? Yesterday I called it cicuit training.

    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!!

    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.

    Hi! I just started this 2 days ago mostly because there is alot of posting on this dvd set on MFP and people are seeing tons of results. I can tell you after completing day 2 I am fairly sore and I have been working out doing other stuff fairly steadily for 5 months and can tell that if I keep this up things will change. Feel free to add me.

    I just finished day 3 of 30DS, I took Sunday off so I'll be doing it 6 days a week. I really like the workout, it kills the abs and legs but I know it'll be well worth it.

    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.

    The one on the left is the before pic, after pic on the right.
    I didn't complete all 30 days tho, only did 2 days of level 3.

    Hope this give you guys some motivation! Keep pushing and you'll see results! Don't focus too much on the scale tho, I was 53kg in the before pic and 51.5kg in the after pic, but there's a lot of diff.

    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.

    Jillian Micheals has a formula for figuring out the calories burned. It's a little complicated and it might change due to the amount of weights you are using and the intensity of the work out you are doing. Do a search for something like "how many calories do you burn doing 30 day shred" and you'll find all kinds of answers and sites to use and also telling you to get a heart rate monitor. I generally enter a lower # in case I figured wrong. :wink:

    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!
