in Health and Weight Loss
Hi fitness pallers!!!

Four days ago me and my fiancé decided to try a new workout method. We have usually been working out by jogging and doing weights etc. feeling the need for a bit more motivation I googled weight loss DVDs. There was several recommended DVDs but the one that stood out was jillian michaels one. I had never heard of jillian before then. We decided to give it a try after all the great reviews we found on the web.
When I received the DVD we decided to start instantaneously, so off we worked! I can honestly say that after several workout DVDs I have tried in the past this one stood out straight away; different levels, different workout types, fast paced and definatly not easy! Me and my fiancé, who is a footballer and trains non stop was blown away by the soreness we felt the day after.
Four days on and we are starting to notice a difference, my muscles have more definition and them love handles we all hate are definatly harder to spot.
I cannot recommend 30 day shred enough - and the best thing is, I can't imagine us getting bored with it!!

Happy healthy living everyone
Xx

    I'm starting 30 day shred tomorrow. Hopefully it works wonders for my body. I'm looking to be more toned and shed a couple of pounds but I really want to increase my exercise stamina. Wish me luck. Maybe we can be buddies.

    I just finished day 7 today. It is still kicking my butt. I am not the exercising type, but I am holding my own. I have really increased my stamina since day 1, but I still can't do many push-ups. Three more days until level 2. I sneaked a peek at level 2 and I dread it already.

    I'm about to do day 5 of level 1! Would definitely love some buddies to stay motivated :) Are you guys doing additional workouts or just the shred?

    I just started today with a group of people. I have had it for a long time, done it off and on and never stuck to it all the way through, so this time I am committed.

    My husband just joined me two days ago doing the Shred and the first day he said it was "easy". Today is the third day and he admitted it hurts to sit on the toilet. LOL!!!

    I am starting to feel the difference in my energy level and I do not sit still like I used to. I actually want to move!

    It's definitely the first workout dvd I recommend to people that ask which is a good one to start with and whip them into shape to lose some weight and inches. Definitely will see results.

    These are some others I recommend when you need something a bit different, and remember you can always do 30 day shred again too, you don't have to do it just once and be done.

    Jillian Michaels No more trouble zones
    Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30
    P90 (A lot of people forget this one)
    P9x
    Insanity Fast and Furious (20 mins)
    Insanity (60 Total Conditioning)

    I've used 30DS off and on for a few years. I started it like 2 months after having my daughter and it totally kicked my butt!! But I did lose a lot of inches. Although it does work wonders, I do still get bored doing the same thing every day, so I've been using it along with Zumba (the zumba set comes with like 9 different workouts so I pick and choose from those as well) the past couple weeks. Last night I ordered Jillian's Ripped in 30 and Yoga Meltdown. That way I can have a big variety of workouts to choose from.

    Well for everyone that is going to start/has started lets be 30DS buddies!
    And lol it does hurt to even do the most simplistic of things such as bending down!
    Although I haven't lost weight as such - I can definatly tell a difference in my problem areas.

    Lets shred the fat ;)

    I have done the shred before but am not good at doing the same every day so am now mixing it up a bit with Jillian burn fat boost metabolism , yoga meltdown, ripped in 30, killer buns and thighs and today I am having Tony Hortons 10 minute trainer delivered. Also waiting for turbo fire and Chalean extreme. I plan to do at least one of these per day plus 10 min trainer and some running. I am not fit at the moment after 6 months in crutches so I am looking forward to getting started and losing weight for my wedding in 3.5 months. Good luck.

    Just curious...do any of you log this into myfitnesspal? How do you account for it?

    I am on level 2, and I know that my stamina has gotten better. I log it in as 20 minutes of circuit training. My stomach was upset for a little while so I skipped working out during that period. Then I restarted on level 2, and OMG it kicked my butt! I still haven't noticed a huge amount of weight loss, ( I am trying to get rid of that stubborn last 20 lbs) but my husband says I look more toned.
