    Day 3 completed followed by a 20 min walk! Really feeling it in the thighs, arms and abs. Love that burn!

    edited to add that I can't find my measuring tape, that's my goal for today :)

    Hi fellow busty! LOL thanks for the heads up. I'll prolly sub those jumping excersices with something else I hate al the jumping around it's really not neighbor friendly when you live on a second floor and work out early in the morning.

    HA! I do get the jumping jacks in but don't follow up with the jump rope routine, I just kind of jog that one out :tongue:

    Good morning shred friends! Today is my rest day from 30DS, but I wanted to check in anyways.

    @JoLo--I agree with Judykat that it would be difficult to do 30DS with a shoulder injury. My shoulders are really sore after the first 2 days.

    @gabby and others discussing logging--I use "circuit training" as well and it matches up very close to my HRM readings. Those of you without HRM's be aware that they only work accurately as calorie counters for cardio activities. Since 30DS is a mix of cardio and strength, the HRM reading of calories burned is really just a guess (as is MFPs calculator). I guess my point is that you shouldn't worry too much about not having one.

    @niquerester--I can do unmodified (army style) push ups, but I still have to modify for the 2nd set. As far as the crunches go, the trick is to just focus on contracting your abs as you pull up--don't pull with your arms or neck. Also, you don't need to come very far off the ground--small movements work wonders. Finally, I agree my calves are really sore which surprised me b/c I'm a runner--I guess it's from all of the jumping?

    @liddie--I'm using the youtube version, but yes I believe it's 10 days for each level.

    @tracy--thanks for the info about taking 2 rest days/week. I was planning to do so, but thought I was "cheating"--it's good to hear Jillian recommends it!

    Well I learned that the new Water Fit aerobics class at my Y demands more from my body than the old one did. I was suppose to do 30DS after it last night and my muscles just couldn't do it. So I went to bed instead. :embarassed: My plan is to do a 30DS today over my lunch and then do it again tonight. That will catch me up with Day 3 and Day 4. Well, I guess now I know. :tongue:

    Hi All,

    I am re-starting 30 DS tonight after work. This will be the 2nd time I have done it as I did it around christmas and joint with extra gym sessions along side the 30 DS I lost about a stone... I went on holiday in March and slipped back into my old ways so re-starting again :)

    I just started Day 1 last night. I'm a little sore: particularly my booty and shoulders. I was surprised by this as I do squats and rows pretty regularly. My starting stats (as of this morning) are:

    SW: 145
    Height: 5'6"
    Thigh: 21"
    Calves: 12.5"
    Hips: 37"
    Waist (at belly button): 34"
    Bust: 36"
    Arms (flexed): 11.5"
    Torso (narrowest part): 29"

    What weight of dumbbells are you guys using? I started with 8 lbs, but found I had to use 5 lbs for some of the sequences. I usually lift with 15lbs.

    great thread!! I am on day 6 of the 30DS and I am loving the results so far! It is a great feeling when you feel yourself progressing with the video day after day. Day 3 was the hardest for me and I take 2 rest days a week, one rest day I walk for 40 minutes. In this beginning I had a hard time walking because my calves hurt so bad but they healed after a day with lots of protein!!! Add me if you would like!
    KEEP IT UP AND DON'T QUIT

    Hi Guys!

    I just did L1D3 after a rest from it yesterday. I still ran 3 miles yesterday. Also ran 2, did the rowing machine, and bicycled 9 today at the gym before coming home to do 30 DS. I thought I would be totally wiped, but it wasn't so bad--I took about an hour break in between to walk my dog and rest a bit.

    @kacy--I know what you mean about the calves! Mine were killing me after day 1 and 2 but felt fine for my run yesterday. We'll see how they feel tomorrow. I got your friend request and will accept, but just to warn you, I'm really bad about commenting on the newsfeed. I do much better at supporting people in these threads. :flowerforyou:

    @wlaura--I am using 5 lb weights b/c they are the only ones I have at home. I also lift heavier at the gym, but honestly don't think I could handle more weight with this workout.

    @tracy--I can't even imagine doing 30DS twice in one day! Then again, I suppose as long as you spread it out, it's not much different from going to the gym and then doing 30Ds at home later. You'll have to let us know how it goes.

    I was able to use 8 lb weights for things I normally do when lifting, like bent over rows, but my shoulders kill now because of it. I think I will stick with the 5 lb weights from now on.

    I'm using 5 right now because SOMEONE messed around and I can only find one of the two 8lb dumbbells.(someone=my son)

    It's day 2 for me too. I did an extra workout at lunch yesterday and my thighs are sore and ran 2 miles. i hope I make it through todays 30ds

    I did day 4 today. It is hard but it starts to get easier. Just remember to take it easy when you feel you can't keep going so you can avoid injury. Good luck. I just took a before pic but I did not do measurement or weight. I do not want to weigh myself because the shred helps gain muscle so you will gain weight. I didn't want to get discouraged. I also run 3 times a week about 2-3 miles.

    Maybe this question has already been answered, but where do you find the 30 day shred workout? Sounds cool!

    hey guys. Today my 2nd day doing 30 ds. I am not in shape and have not exercised in about 3 years. I was able to get through this ok surprisingly although a couple of tough moments. I also started an exercise class at my local rec center on Sunday so I am getting my butt kicked. I did take a before picture of my squeezing in to a pair of capris that I would really like to fit nicely. We should all post our before and after pics when our 30 days is up!
