Do you do 30 Day Shred daily? How many times a week? Do you take breaks on the weekend? Have special workout music or mute Jillian? Please post anything you want to share with our group :happy:

I started doing this last week and it is a great way to fit some sort of exercise in every day. 20 minutes is better than nothing! I have to be more consistent with it this week though so it will be good to have the motivation!0

I just started the 30 day shred dvd today--love it so for. Question--how do you log this workout into our exercise log?0
-
i just started it today - my plan is to do it every day for 10 days on level 1 and then see how i feel after that for level 2. i log it as circuit training for 20 mins.0

I started today also. I plan to do every day 10days at each level. Someone else commented about taking a day off and losing motivation... Uhm. That's me... All the way. I HAVE to do it every day, or I just fizzle0

I put music on over the top of her as it gets me motivated, but I still make sure I can hear her shouting PUUUSH haha

Copy and paste the link I posted into your web browser and a joint document will come up. Add your information there.0 -
My legs were very sore from yesterday and I guress I didn't push myself as much as yesterday. I didn't burn the same amount of calories even though I did the same excercises. A HRM is a very good investment. It teaches you that pushing yourself really does matter, and that no matter how tired you are the effort is worth it in the end. It also helps to know how many calories you are "paid back" after you finish your workout.0

Hi everyone! I'm new to 30DS. Just did L1D1 yday. Loved it but damn even w 3lbs weights shoulder press/lunges hurt! I'm currently training for a 1/2 marathon and also do stronglifts w my hubby every other day. Just looking for another workout to keep me off my couch :oP
What's your success w 30ds?0 -
Legs so sore Do you guys continue to workout through the pain?0

Legs so sore Do you guys continue to workout through the pain?
I'm only 3 days in and I'm SO SORE! *But* I'm more sore when I'm not doing anything than when I'm working out. I pushed through it yesterday and did way better on my level 1 workout than the day before.
For me at least pushing through the pain makes the pain less severe. My muscles are way happier when they're being worked/warm.0 -
Haha, well i mute Jillian just cause after a while she repeats herself and it gets annoying, but i replace her with a playlist i made.
Also I'm combining 6 week six pack abs with 30DS but only on days i feel like i need to push a bit harder.0 -
I found FitnessBlender on Youtube and I might incorporate some of those. I haven't been doing much more in addition to 30DS because I've been sore, but I might start doing these. It's fine to do more than 30DS. Your effort=your payoff :happy:
Best of luck to you all today!0 -
My legs were also super sore, as well as my arms. I try to still push through it. i do the quads a little bit lighter, good thing they are only at the beginning.0
-
It seems my arms hurt way more than my legs. The anterior raises at the end kill me. Is anyone doing "real" pushups? I startedat 6 the first 30 sec, then about 2 the 2nd. Then switch to my knees. Today I did 10 the first round, and 4 the second!0
-
My goal is to do it at LEAST 5 times, maybe daily, maybe not. I am also incorporating Extreme Shed and Shred as well. I also want to run a few times a week. The only constant will be 30DS, everything else will be AT WILL, LOL!0

I completed day four of level one and yes I'm sore, but a good sore
.... I'm doing daily workouts of the shred 10 days on each level. I got so inspired reading about the significant results people had at the end of the 30 days. I also will add additional cardio workouts on days I "can". I can't do the "real" push-ups either and I put a pillow down for my knees but at the end of the 10 days I hope to go hard on each workout. We will see.... 0 -
Ok, so I do get bored doing the same thing BUT I was thinking that if I do get like that, maybe I can just rotate through the different levels each day? What do you guys think?0
-
I've done that before... If you're comfortable with level 1, move on and don't let anything hold you back. I actually like the the predictability after I get used to a workout because I can work out more fluidly (without odd movement and struggling to hold my balance :laugh: )
To all my fellow Shredders... Tomorrow is our last day of the week (as far as I'm concerned
) Let's make it count! Much love! 0 -
Well I'm using 10lbs and 15lbs for my weights so I can't say I'm comfortable, LOL! But you are right about the predictability. You know what, I'm gonna suck it up and do them in order and when I get bored, then I'll move on.0
-
This is the 1st time I'm doing them in order and I must say it's better for me. It helps me work on my form and increase intensity as I complete each day. Today is day five on level one and I'm already seeing great results! I used to skip around but I just feel I need to follow suggestions this time around because I always give up. Wishing everyone the best of luck. I'm pushing through the weekend so I can end the shred madness asap 0

Completed Day 7 Level 1. I actually tried working a little bit of Level 2 just for "fun" ... doesn't seem so bad even though I'm dreading it!!
Are you guys feeling any changes in your body? I definitely feel like I'm getting stronger.. but whenever I get to those anterior lifts I can never do the last two..

i started this week, but the first 2 days i could not even got through 10 mins. So I decided to start Wed and today is my 3rd day. I skipped yesterday, but i don't plan to skip more days. i'm struggling with level 1, so i'll move after i can effectively do level 1.
quick question: do you guys excerside aside from the 20 min workout?0 -
also, what weighs is everyone using?0

Today is day 5 for me (level one) I've been putting it off all morning. Didn't have a great start with "breakfast" either LOL. Here's to a good workout!!! And, Sparkly86... here's the link we're using for weigh ins. Come, join, add, SEE the results at the end of the 30 days!!!https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArP5P8Tq-VWRdFBnLVhRWjZsYWpETlFDQ3ZXcTlhVkE&usp=sharing 0

Hey! If its too hard to get through at first, don't even think about adding weights yet, or if you do maybe only use a 2 or 3lb one. I was in pretty decent shape before 'shredding' so I use a mix of 8-15lbs, and 3lbs for the cardio bursts sometimes. I think the main thing is getting through the exercises with great form so you can see results. Don't get hung up on weights yet because PLENTY people get results using their bodyweight!
I personally exercise aside from 30DS, but that's because I'm used to working out intensely and more than once a day and I actually love to work out, weird I know...0 -

I'm so sorry! I reread that this morning and went... HOW did I MISS THAT one??? LOL. And, I have horrible upper body strength apparently, bc I'm only doing 2.5lb weights, and by the end, my arms are jello.. All though, yesterday (day5) I made it through all of it without dropping the weights! Circuit 3 usually killed me, and I'd have to just do lunges without the raises... NSV for me!0 -
SO SO glad to have found this site! Was so proud of myself for 10 days at level one! Then we got a huge heavy snow on what would have been my day 11. We have a huge driveway and was shoveling for 2 hrs straight. The next two days I did the elliptical because my back was so tight. Yesterday we were renovating our bathroom all day (lot of heaving lifting!)
I have taken 4 days off, however I haven't been a couch potato in that time! I was feeling down, like I wasn't seeing any results on the scale : ( But I will say that I feel more in shape, I feel stronger and I have to believe that dong the 30ds is better than not doing anything and feeling like crap every time I get dressed to leave the house!0 -
Laura,
You've been doing great! It doesn't matter how you move, as long as you move. For the sake of our group we're hoping 30DS will help us, but any excercise counts and 30DS can be modified or additional excercises can always be added on. I'm proud of you! Keep on going!0 -
Your support is so uplifting! I am sore today, but I am committed to this challenge! I am so looking forward to going and buying a really great pair of jeans : ) That has been my motivation....going to the mall without having a mental crisis lol!0
