    Is anyone wearing a heart rate monitor. Whats your calorie burn in 30 day shred?

    I wear one. The first couple of days I burned around 235 calories, but the last couple of days only 215.

    I wear a HRM. For level one it's usually around 180 but one day it was 150.

    Did my first day of level 2 today. I tried to move up to level 2 a few days ago but was too tough, so I did level 1 for a few more days then kicked it up to level 2 this morning. I've already lost 8 lbs and 2" off my hips, since I started on Dec 26th. Jillian's DVD's are great!

    I also started the 6 week abs last night, my abs are killing me today!

    I found L1 D2 easier than the first day - but then I didn't have the heating on so didn't feel as sweaty and horrible! I actually find it hard to watch and get the right position and do the exercises. I think it would be a good idea to have a run through it and try and get the form right before starting for real, but meh, I just like to jump right in!

    Just finished Day 2 of Level 1! I haven't taken measurements, but I know I'll see results. Last night, I accidentally grabbed an old pair of jeans off the shelf while getting dressed to go out. I pulled them on and was wondering why they weren't long enough to wear with my boots, and then I realized that they were an old pair that used to be too tight and give me a muffin top! It was such a great feeling! I haven't worn them in almost 3 years! PLUS, a friend asked me last night if I had lost weight! Can't wait to see more results after doing 30DS for the second time!

    I personally find it easier if I mute the video and listen to some of my own music. Of course I would recommend listening to the video the first couple of times but I get bored hearing the same thing over and over. When I go to level 2, I will go back to listening to Jillian for a few days.

    Hi everyone! Just did my very first day of the 30 Day Shred Level 1 and must say it feels good to be moving again after a long hiatus from exercise.
    How is everyone logging their Shred exercise so we can keep track?
    Thanks in advace! :smile:

    I'm doing the 30 day shred as well... The weekends r my rest days. Your body needs at least 1-2 rest days a week from circuit training. That's the only complaint I have. :) I wish Jillian would have shared that info in the vid. Good luck and don't give up. No pain no gain!!

    There is a great printout tracking sheet for 30 day shred that I found on pinterest. Just type in 30 day shred Jillian Michaels and it should pop right up. :smile:

    Good idea. I'm going to try that tomorrow for L1D6. (:

    I'm on D3,L2. But I find myself stopping a lot, espcially at the lunges. I try making up for stopping by doing them slower, for greater number of reps. The time I take overall far exceeds 25 minutes. Will this impact my results?

    I don't bother counting the reps. I just try and do as many as I can in the time given. I find as the days go on im finding it easier to I'm doin more reps. I wouldn't get hung up on how many times you do it, just that you're exercising for te time period.

    I'm on day 3 L1. It's easy for me to do lunges when my right leg is forward and my left leg is back, But when my right leg is back, I lose my balance and can't keep up with her. I am already seeing a difference in my inner thigh definition on my left leg, but not my right. I'm looking lopsided, so after I was done with 30DS today, I did some lunges holding onto a chair with my right leg back to make up for the missed reps.

    I have to hold on to something to do the standing on 1 leg stretches - since I sprained my ankle last year my balance is not all it should be despite improvements through physio.

    Ok I just did Day 2 of Level 2 ... and &$#@% do I ever hurt ... particularly in my back. However, even my 30 year old son, who never notices *anything* about me, said "gee, Mom, you're thinner than I though you'd be and stronger than I thought". (I haven't seen him since last May and saw him this weekend, which was wonderful. He doesn't live close by.)

    Anyway, my clothes fit better. Unfortunately, I didn't take measurements ... but things are improving immensely.

    I also mute the voice. If you have the actual DVD, you can go into "Audio Options" and take out the voice track and just hear *their* music if you want ... but I also put on my own music when doing it.

    I like what it's doing ... although I can say, I'm glad Jillian Michaels is on the screen and not in my living room. We'd probably end up in an argument (and she'd win ... she's stronger than me). She does get amazing results though.

    Have a great week, all.
