30 day shred nerves.

I am going to be starting again in the next day or two. I tried it once a year or two ago and gave up after the first day. I wasn't as determined then as I am now though. If you want you can add me and we can encourage each other through it. I am very overweight as well so I know hoe nerve racking it can be to start a new exercise but dang it I want some good results like I have seen all these other people getting with it. So I determined to stick to it.

this thread made me get off my lazy butt and do it. I just completed day 1. I couldn't fully do the bicycle ab workout, but pretty much everything else. I do quite a few of the moves in my Pulse (like zumba) class, especially jumping jacks, squats, lunges, and punches. The ab stuff got me. Firstly because my floor is hard and I don't have a mat. I was pouring sweat after, but I feel good so far. I used cans of fruit for weights since I don't have any. I took pics before I started, and plan on trying to measure later today.

Give it a try!

I'll be the first to admit when I first started it was horrible. I couldn't walk the next day because my body was in so much pain.. It really does get easier as you go on.

Sometimes if the movement is too tough or I find myself in too much pain I job in place instead.

Goodluck!

Hi! I just started MFP this month and started 30 day about 10 days ago....I hurt tremendously after the first day but then...hey! after day 3...easy!!!!! (OK, maybe not easy but I could do it) Just do it as Nike says :-) Why wait???? I can already see a diference in how my clothes fit :-) Oh, and wear a supportive bra :-)

Just start, waiting for March first is like all the people who say the diet starts monday, and then when they fall off the wagon by wednesday they wait for the next monday to start again. Unless you have a good reason to wait for march 1st (away at a conference for a few days, waiting on all clear after surgery) just get up and do it, by march 1st you might already have lost a few lbs and be feeling so much better about yourself.

For me the first few days are rough, everything hurts, stomach and the fronts of my legs in particular, but I like it too, that's my body changing and getting stronger. Personally I've never really lost any weight on it, but I don't have much to loose (only about another 10-15lbs, but already a UK8-10) so for me it's more about toning.

Why wait, start today!

It's nothing to fear. Just a workout. Take it one move at a time and one day at a time. It's fun

The first time I did the 30DS I couldn't even do one push-up. You just do as much as you can, as well as you can! It only gets better!

I just got the 30 Day Shred today and I'm going to try it tomorrow. I'm definitely feeling you on the nerves, especially since I've done Insanity before and couldn't get through it. Add me, we'll get through it together. Idk if I'm going to do it everyday, but l'm going to give it a go. Everyone's encouragement is great! Let's see what all the fuss is about.

As you can probably see yourself your definitely not alone in this lots of encouraging support on here .

Guess like a lot of other have said i'd say aswell, start tomorrow with it...why wait? I understand where you are coming from though, often towards the end of one month I will set a target for the next so starting on march 1 makes sense but often it is placing such emphasis on goals which makes them seem even scarier almost or intimidating I guess whereas if you jump into it tomorrow you're already there by march 1st!

See what suits you, many on here have said run on the spot or something instead of stopping altogether if a particular exercise gets too strenuous thats a good idea, personally I paused it and regained my breath and shook myself out for several seconds and then got back to it. Obviously for the incredible results many have shown on here it is best to do it within the 30 days and do the 20 mins or so in one go but at the beginning you need to allow your body time to adjust, I remember after doing my first one I came away thinking god how do they do it on this site and I still haven't worked myself up to the complete 30 days yet. What I've found helpful is i've started incorporating the 30 day shred into my exercise routine, for example for 3 days a week and i think that has helped me get to a place now where i'm thinking yea I could go for the 30!

As simple as it sounds positive thinking goes a long way here, any attempt at it is a push in the right direction, best of luck with it!

Just finished day 3 (but round 4 since I was crazy and did it twice sunday). My body is so sore. Especially my butt and thighs. Which is good since those are my main trouble zones.
