30 Day Shred...yes another one

What a coincidence! I started yesterday too.
Technically I started over, because I had been doing it but took a bit off and wanted to start over officially.
I did L1 Day 1 Yesterday.
I'm now about to get ready to do Level 1 Day 2!
I'm combining this with the 30 day Ab Challenge from tumblr:

AND the 30 day Squat Challenge from tumblr: http://25.media.tumblr.com/16ff9eb970dbc07168e729e8362702be/tumblr_mn49geU6GY1so3aoko1_500.jpg

Starting Stats:
Weight: 136 lbs
Bicep: 10.5 inches
Waist: 30 inches
Hips: 38.5 inches

L1 Day 1 Report:
* I can't do regular pushups
* My squats are somewhere between beginner and advanced lol
* Can't make it through that first cardio circuit straight without at least a 3 to 5 second breather
* Abs are fine!
* Unsure if I'm doing the back exercise correctly
* Beginner moves for the lunges and damn do my arms scream
*Second cardio circuit is so much easier to get through...
* abs are again fine
* Those chest fly exercises are niiiiice and easy xD but I have light weights.
* Can NEVER get through that damn side lunge with a shoulder raise. I end up quitting with the shoulder raises or do them without weights, haha. I have NO upper body strength I tell ya!
* Cardio is a-okay after that and so is abs. I swear the last 3 minutes are when I'm high off of exercise and it just breezes on by xD

Gonna get motivated and do Day 2 soon! You all should give me your reports too. I wanna know if people are having the same problems or if they have tips! haha
Way to go everyone!!!

I can't do regular pushups yet either. Well I can do about two, but I decided to just wait and do more of the modified version while I build strength. I like to head right out the door and go for a quick one or two mile power walk after the video is done, to extend the burn a little and keep my heart rate up.

i'm doing it for the second time. Going to do ripped in 30 straigiht after. Getting great results and really enjoying it!

That's awesome!

how do you exercise from youtube, is there a way to get it on your tv, there is no way I can do it trying to watch my computer, everyone seems to find everything online.

I have a Big Mac computer. I go to you tube and search for the workout, press play and maximize the YouTube window so the video is full screen.

Hi. I'm new to MFP. I tried doing Ripped in 30 and after a week, my knees were killing me. I read 30 day shred is a little easier so I'm going to start it today. I also do cardio at the gym during my lunch break and I've been doing Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis muscular strength dvd. I feel like I need something more. Had my 2nd kid 5.5 months ago and I'm really trying to get in shape now. I need the motivation from you ladies to keep up with 30 day shred. I hope my knees can handle this workout better.

Throughout Level 1 Jillian really stresses on stretching out the knee joints to avoid injury and what not to do in order to prevent injury with the knees. So this might be good for you, hun!
It still seems pretty tough to me, not being able to do all of the moves in the advanced level, but rather most in the beginners level, but it could be fine for you!

I'm going to start this today... I think. I wish my Kindle had a video out so I could just hook it up to my TV, but I should have room in my office... I guess it's cheap to buy, but hard to pass up free.

I get a ton of upper body and ab workout from aerial training, but I'd like to see the rest of me get a little tighter and my endurance can always use a boost. I have some mild tendonitis in my left elbow so I'm always cautious about adding more work to my arms. Pushups aren't pullups and I'm not gripping anything, so fingers crossed. I'd really like to drop a few inches by the middle of summer.

I did level 1 day 2 today.

It wasn't as bad as yesterday and I added 3 lb weights.

I was going to do it every day, but I'm not sure I can do it on days I work. I'm a nurse and I work 12 hour shifts. I was going to get up at 5 am on work days and do it, but I'm not sure I can handle it when I work several days in a row. I work Thursday this week, then the weekend and Memorial Day. I'm going to do it Thursday morning and see how it goes since it's just 1 day. Hopefully by the weekend my endurance will be up a bit.

I started this today, maybe I'm being a complete wimp but I couldn't even finish the whole of level 1! Might try again later and see if I can make it all the way through, if not I'm going to give it a better effort tomorrow.

Thanks. I'm going to try it today. The ripped in 30 was rough on me but I tried it about 2 months ago. My knees seem a little better since then as I've been running and doing other workouts daily. I'll pay close attention to what she says about the knees when I do the workout today.

I will do Day 2 tonight in our camper. We are camping now & doing Jumping Jacks in a camper scares me -- but I'll do it with the curtains closed.
PS Thanks for your response.

I'm on my 3rd round, just did day 12 today

I started on the 20th, I've tried to get through it 3 times before but I lose motivation every time. but so far so good, and I don't know why but I am WAY more sore this time around!!! would love others to add me if ya want :-)

I am excited to try this. I did her yoga meltdown and liked it. I hope this feels as good.
Add me so we can track the progress
