30 day shred

My profile pic is my before and after. It's great! Add me, if you wish!

I agree with sticking with it. TAKE PICTURES! The scale hardly moved for me. I originally lost 9# from the start of 30DS and doing a couple of other things, but I am now only down 6#, so somewhere along the line I gained 3#, BUT my clothes fit better than ever. The scale frustrates me and makes me wonder why I work my *kitten* off sweating 5-6 days a week and it doesn't move . . . but the proof is in the clothes! I only get on the scale to see if it's moving. It doesn't bother me as much because I did take before and after pictures and see a huge difference!

If it starts getting boring or you want to quit go onto the next level. I didn't stick with level one for very long - I think 5 days. It was too easy and I didn't feel I was getting a very good workout.

GOOD LUCK! The total workout from start to finish of each level is about 27 minutes (With warmup and cool down) you have 30 minutes a day to give yourself, right!?

I started yesterday!! So far so good!

Should this be done for 30 days straight? Or do you take rest days?

I have the Jillian app and she incorporates 2 rest days in that, so I ASSUME that you should have rest days just because I know you should give you body time to recover. I did it 4-5 days a week. It took 6 weeks for me.

I'm on level 3 day 7. I'm tired, but I look better than ever. Stick with it, even when you feel like taking the day off. It's worth the trouble.

scibba you look amazing! Im doing it mon-friday with other workouts (walking and fitness blender videos) and im on level 2 day 2 now. Iv found it easier to stick to with a mon-fri schedule

There's days I'm not feeling it so I'll do level 1 for sure and lower my weights. This morning I didn't even use any weights (up all night with sick child) but I try to do something every day.

But I'm loving the results. don't get discouraged if you step on the scale and there's a gain. Get the measuring tape out. I've run out of wholes in my belt buckle and need to add a whole since I'm pulling my belt in so much.

Good luck,

I am on day 7 level 1

drink lots of water

don't focus on speed right now but focus on the form

push through the work outs

I started yesterday, keep me posted!

Although, I'm doing what I call the 40-day shred, with scheduled rest days every 3rd day. I've heard mixed reviews on whether it's intended to be done straight through or with breaks, so I'm just doing what resonated with me.

My husband and I are on Level 1, Day 3. Our plan is to go straight through without rest days, but know that if we feel days now and then that we feel the need to take off, we will. Excited to see how it goes!

I'm on Day 5. I definitely felt it by Day 3, but I feel stronger, and the workout goes by so quickly! I'm looking forward to seeing some results in about 10 days.

Good luck!

Did Week 2, Day 1 today. After doing the MFP 30 Day Challenge, it was shorter than I'm used to, and much easier than when I tried a month ago! Yay, for progress! Wonder if I could do Week 3?

I started a Group for support: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/13416-30-day-shred-april-spectacular

Some people have a head start, some are doing it again, and most of us are just starting.

I am also wanting to try this but how do you all count your calories burned after doing the workout for the day? I don't have a heart rate monitor yet but I am planning to get one. Any advice is appreciated.
