    Love that work out. I'm on level two. There are a bunch of threads about this. Might be easier to join them.
    If your arms hurt today - wait until tommorrow
    <insert evil laugh>
    But keep at it. It's worth it!

    You log it in under circuit training genral for 25 mins. I hope that helps. I am on day three of my 30 day shred.. and i will do level 1 until i feel it is to easy so i am thinking about 10 days will be good enough for me. then on to the next level.

    Cool, thanks guys, thats what i thought brwneyes, the hardest thing in the whole workout was the push ups because i've got no upper body strength, 10, 10, 10 it is then :flowerforyou:

    I am 180 lbs. and very active, and did Level 1 for the first time two days ago. My foot was hurting a bit, so took it a bit easy on jumping jacks. But, my Body Bugg said I burned 140 Calories. I have a friend that did Level 1, second time and her heart monitor said she burned 180 calories. She is around 130 lbs. Hope this helps.

    What is this shred business you're all talking about? Please excuse my ignorance, but I am tres curious! Is this some kind of program that you follow through DVDs? What kind of exercise it it, exactly? Thanks to anyone who doesn't mind explaining to a clueless member!! :glasses:
    PS: Do you need any special equipment to participate?

    Hey Tanya, i'm new to this whole shred exercise too, i only did my first one today and i am knackered, lol, it's a fitness dvd with three levels of 20 minute workouts. I found the dvd on amazon for just over £6 if you're in th uk, like i said before the hardest thign for me was the push ups.
    Basically you do the 20 minute workouts every day for 30 days, and it claims you can lose up to 20lbs in those 30 days, if i do it will be a sizeable chunk of my 71lb goal, try it out, there are lots of people on here that would reccomend it too :drinker:
    The best thing is all you need is a floor and a couple of weights (or in my case tonight a couple of tins of peas, lol) and lots of will power :laugh:

    You will start out with a warm up. there are lots of jumping jacks, you will do push ups, strength training, ab workouts... so you do 2 mins of cardio, 2 mins of strength training and 1 min of abs for 20 mins and then a 5 min cool. down... only thing you need to have is 3 or 5 lb weights. It is a circuit training dvd. I hope this helps.

    I've done the level one workout 6 times since last Wednesday. I'm getting ready to switch to level 2 probably on Saturday. The part that kicks my butt the most is the cardio set where you do jumping jacks, jump rope and then repeat. By the time I get to the second jump rope, I'm dying, but other than that, level one is awesome so far. I already feel a difference in stamina after a week. Good luck! Add me and we can check in daily and groan and moan about our aches and pains. ;)

    I just started the 30 Day Shred today too... No pain, No gain. The push ups are going to be the hardest for me.
    And I put it under circuit general 20 minutes in my exercise journal.
    We can do it!!!!

    I did one 30min shred on Wed. and that workout kicks butt. I am so sore (mostly my legs) to the fifth power, I gave it a rest yesterday and i'm going to try it again today. If you stick with it from the feel of it you can only have success.

    Day 3 done!!! My thighs are hurting! :noway: And I agree!! Sweating buckets by the end.
    Today I did more stretching at the end and my thighs feel much better.:bigsmile:
    Got to go to work now. I work night shift 12 hour shifts... and that is not helping my weight.

    I've just bought this DVD from Amazon...... can't wait to start it (as soon as my pennies can stretch to fix my DVD player or get a new one) .

    Reading this thread about it has really got me looking forward to starting in.. Bring on Jillian *I imagine I won't be saying that half way through the DVD*

    Oh man! I tried Level 2 yesterday for the first time after over 10 days of doing Level 1. Level 2 kicked my butt so so so so hard! You have to do all these plank moves and my arms are not strong enough to support my weight for the whole time. I had to do almost the whole thing following Anita so it was a bit modified. I'm sore as heck today from it too! I was sweating buckets halfway through. I'm scared to know what Level 3 is like! Hope the rest of you are doing well and sticking with it!

    Day 5 done... Level 1 is hard enough... Can't imagine moving to level 2!! :sad: But, I am going to get there!!!!
    Hope everyone else is sticking with it.
    It's really hard, but it sure is worth it.

    Congrats for starting the 30 day shred. I want to do it too!!! where did you get tour DVD ?
  • sarwood1
    sarwood1 Posts: 48 Member
    I love 30DS. It's hard, but I can keep up with it. I got my DVD from Target. You can also get it from Amazon.com.
    As far as results, I have just started - I am now on Day 6. I have already lost 3 pounds. But the most amazing is it makes me feel better.
    Jillian's theory is 3 minutes of strength training - 2 minutes of cardio - 1 minute abs and you do this three times. The workout last about 20 minutes.
    I suggest you join us and try it.

    I did my 3rd day of Level 2 this morning before work. My muscles are still burning. Level 2 is so hard! But, it has gotten easier since the first time I tried it at least. I might try to do Level 1 tonight just to get some more cardio in for the day and because I have to modify so much in Level 2, I feel like I'm cheating myself out of a workout. I'm still dripping though in Level 2, so I dunno... Hope you're all sticking with it! I'm starting to see the weight come off now finally! I think sometimes it takes a while to catch up to your new workout routine.

    Yay, rachiebblue!!!:bigsmile: Level 1 is so hard I don't know if I'll every make it to Level 2. And I say don't worry about the modifications in Level 2... if your sweating, you are doing great. Just push yourself each day a little more.

    Day 7 complete!!

    Happy excerising everybody!

    :happy: Day 8 and a one mile walk - done.
    My three year old daughter has started pretending to be "mommy" and excercising. It is so funny, but also very motivating.
