30 day shred starts tomoro!

I started 30 Day Shred today. I tried it out last week, but my legs were so sore
for days after. I've gotten back to it though! Made it through this time even though it was tough.

I tend to carry my weight in my belly, hips, upper thighs and butt....typical pear shape, I guess.
So, I started thinking... What if I do 30 Day Shred AND Killer Buns and Thighs in one day
four days a week?

I'm wondering if that would be enough strength and cardio combined and then I can do some
other ab workouts in between to take care of my belly.

Has anyone done this? Results? Ideas?

I've been doing 30DS and 6 week abs every day for the last 3 weeks and I've seen huge results. I think you will probably see the same results if you do 30DS and killer buns & thighs. I looked at the workouts for the killer buns DVD and they look tough so I imagine you will see big changes if you do both.

I did 6 Week 6 Pack a little while ago and I'm amazed I got through it on the first try. I'm debating if I've got it in me to give 30 Day Shred another shot today. My legs are still a bit sore from yesterday... but maybe you're suppose to push through it and at least try? If you don't mind me asking, what kind of results did you see from doing both 30 Day Shred and 6 Week 6 Pack every day?
Loss of inches? I'm still trying to figure out what pattern I should do these in. I'm kind of hoping to see some good results and get a few inches off in the next 6 weeks... (planning to continue, 6 weeks is just a goal date to see how far I can get by then). I want to make sure I'm doing enough of these workouts to yield some results and especially get some toning in those bigger areas of my body.

I just bought the DVD today, so will be starting Day 1 tomorrow. I'm excited to start! I've got plans to run a half-marathon in May and a full marathon in November but really need to lose a good bit of weight before I can start logging a lot of miles. I am going to do the workout first thing in the morning because if I wait until later in the day, life just takes over and swallows up all my time.

Started today.
I am going to take a beginning and end photo to see the difference, which I hope is noticeable.

Day 3... Killed it last night... Made it through the work out with much better control over my breathing, and through all the circuits without stopping for breath or modification except for about 10 seconds on the side lunge on circuit 3 both times. Still lifted and twisted as I caught my breath. I even dug deeper into the squats.

It still killed me, but afterwards I didn't feel so sick and tired like the first two nights. And I woke up this morning with a little soreness in my arms and chest, but not a lot, and none really anywhere else. I'm already looking forward to hitting it again tonight.

Last night I worked late, got home in time to barely eat a couple of bites of food, grab the kids, and make it to church. Taught in kids church, had a meeting, had to run to the store after, and by the time I got home it was late, I was tired, sore, and hungry. I had not desire to do the workout, but knew if I did it would be easier today and I would feel better about myself. If I didn't, I'd be more likely not to do it again... ever... just being honest.

So the wife and I did it anyway... and even though we did lose some rest and did the workout WAY too late... I'm glad we did.

Level 1 Day 4 done today. Much easier today. I felt like I had much more endurance. Still can't really do the side lunges well, but I make an effort to get the arm part right. I also can do a couple of real pushups now!

you will see a change if you follow through with it. I am on day 18 and the changes are visable

I've lost 8 lbs in the last 4 weeks, but I've noticed bigger changes in inches. 3 inches off my waist, hips, and thighs so far. I do 30DS in the morning and then 6w6p in the evening. I've also noticed lots of toning in my arms too. All of the workouts on the DVD's are great!

I started Yesterday! I always quit around day 25. I loathe level 2.

I'm starting again tomorrow!!! Drama kept me from starting it last week. Any tips on protecting the knees much appreciated. I blew my knee out the last time I attempted this. But saw major results in only 9 days!!! :-) DETERMINED!!!

I don't do the jumping jacks... I either do skaters or punches (she just wants x seconds of cardio there so) For the jump rope I just bounce up and down but don't really "jump".

And make sure you do squats right

I agree, day 4 is definitely easier. But the side lunges and lift are killing me. When I do the lunge properly, I don't seem to have the leverage to lift the weights. Can see a little bit of a difference already though, so that's motivating.

1 week in and already not a lot of people left posting... haha...

My results so far...

The Good: I feel stronger. No more soreness from the workouts at all and not feeling like I am going to die during them. I am able to push a lot harder now during. Deeper lunges, jumping higher, etc. Not doing the full butt kicks yet, nor have I gotten brave enough to try Level 2. I can tell my muscles are tightening back up and definitely feel some growth in my arms. I am using ten pounders instead of 5... (But that still makes me feel puny considering I used to lift almost 400) ...the life of someone bound to a desk. Also, my wife and I are Kids Pastors and on Sunday morning we do a couple of fast worship songs with dance moves with the kids. About 10-15 minutes of pretty intense dance/jumping around that usually kills us. We both got through it without losing our breath!

The Bad: I expected to lose weight and inches immediately. After a week, I have lost 1" of my gut, and that's it. I gained about 4 pounds 3-4 days in and now I am back down to 1 pound over what I weighed when I started. I contributed that to the muscle building, however only an inch of my gut and no where else? I understand that as I build muscle the fat will come off and apparently after viewing these boards, some people end up weighing more but looking a whole lot better and having a lot less fat on them. (Usually people that are already a lot thinner than me though.) I'm not discouraged as much as perplexed.

I plan on staying on Level 1 for the next week at a minimum. My wife is not progressing through them as fast and if I get too far ahead of her she may not continue on with me. Now that I have more energy I may add a separate program if I can squeeze in the time, as well as more calories to continue to raise my metabolism and fuel the burn. I like the treadmill. (With 5 kids it's a good excuse to shut the door and watch some TV or listen to music or a podcast without much interruption) and have a mountain bike collecting dust. My problem is more options than time.
