30DS

Jillian michael's 30 day shred. You do three circuits which are 6 minutes each. Each circuit consists of Three minutes of strength, two minutes of cardio and one minute if abs. There are three levels. You can do each level for 10 days or at your own pace to finish 30 days. There are no breaks between the circuits. The full workout with warm up and cool down ends up being just over 27 minutes.

My progress so far Day 1 and then Day 17
It really works!!

Day 5 Level 1 tonight! My endurance levels are definitely higher and my arms and legs have more definition :happy:

I'm moving on to L2D1 tionight. I'm doing each level for 10 days, 30 days straight. No breaks. I know people say you should do rest days. But for me 1 rest day can easily increase to 2 rest days and excuses and slacking. I can handle Jillian for 30 minutes a day. And I feel so much better when I do it. I make sure I stretch more and stay hydrated. I was sore for the first 3 days then it subsided. I wonder if I'll be sore the first 3 days of level 2. I guess I'll find out.

I did Day One Level One last night. I had a little trouble with some of the ab stuff but other than that I kept up pretty well. It will probably feel worse tonight because I have a few sore muscles.

Sweet baby Jesus! O_O

That is a knock out result. If I can get half of that I will be over the moon!

Can I ask what sort of calories you were eating during 30DS? x

I'm with you! Tonight will be my 3rd night of the 30DS.
My starting weight and height is 138 and 5'2'. I eat 1200-1400 cals a day and am not super ardent about weighing in or taking measurements. I mostly just want to get a little more toned and fit by summertime and if losing weight happens then great! I do the videos in succession, so far.

Sometimes my left knee hurts after the workout also my feet for some reason!

Good luck to everyone!

What size weights do people use? I use 5lb weights and this is the first time I've done the shred. It gets insanely difficult to finish the moves near the end especially the last strength training where you do side lunges and lift the weights to eye level... I can barely finish this exercise and by the end my arms are weak and shaky.

3lb dumbells for me They feel really light when I start - towards the end I can barely lift them

Yh, this also happened to me. Could you invite me aswell please

Can someone explain to me what this workout is exactly please. I'm new to this and cant find much information about it. How long do the workouts last for and would you recommend it?

I would MOST definately recommend it. I love it. I've been doing it for 7 days and my skirt is dancing around my waist. I feel muscles when I walk... my shoulders are becoming defined. I havent worked out in years before this so this is all great for me. It's hard, but well worth it. From what I've heard, your supposed to do Level 1 for 10 days, Level 2 for 10 days and Level 3 for 10 days. I bought the DVD on line for $10, but you can down load it for free; check out the string to find a link (or other 30 DS strings).

This is cute

Today will be day 3 level 1 for me. I use 5lb weights and you are right...towards the end on the last strength exercise..I can barely lift the weights to eye level. What I've done on a few of them when it got difficult is just lift one weight at a time and rotate between lifting one weight right hand....lifting one weight left hand...lifting both weights...lifting one weight...lifting one...lifting both. It helps relieve some of the pain until I can do it fully.

QUESTION!!! Anyone who is currently doing the 30DS - do you plan on going 30 days straight or taking rest days?

Just started Level 3 tonight

QUESTION!!! Anyone who is currently doing the 30DS - do you plan on going 30 days straight or taking rest days?

I am on level 2, day 5. I am only doing it 3 days per week, and on other days doing C25k, currently on week 4.
I am noticing results but i will wait until I complete the whole 30 days before I Take my " after" measurements.

Thats exactly what I'm doing. I've been doing 30ds every night and couch to 5k 3 times a week. Can't wait to see my results when I'm done. I'm going to try and push thru 30 days straight but don't want to risk injury. We will see. Thanks for the reply.

Im starting today, trying to do it alongside the 30 day squat challenge! hopefully i can get the motivation to stick with it, need to see results
