30 Day Shred - Anyone want to join me ?
Replies

L1D3 is done and it actually seemed a little better. I managed to do all of the push ups in the first rep (girl style)...much to my surprise! My 8 year old joined me today and complained that the crunches hurt her stomach, while I did them all! BOY! Did that feel good! LOL Forgot to take before pix, so may do this tomorrow. That way I have something to compare to.
I would also like to know how people are calculating their shred. Right now I am just entering 20 min vigorous calesthenics, which is 246 burned for me. It sure feels like I am burning way more than that. How are you entering in the shred?
I just created my own excersise called Jillian's 30 day shred level 1 - and I have an HRM watch to calculate cals.0 -
About to go do day 7 in a bit - I think this is the first time I have workout out 7 days straight.0

I'm about to do Day 2 of Level 2. Anyone else's knees bothering them? Makes me a little nervous, but I don't want to stop!0

Happy Saturday Shredders!!
Just finished L1D6 and I really feel stronger - I was able to focus on form and breathing today - even those crazy lunges w/ arm raises were more bearable ( but still a push - especially those last 5, WOW) I was trying not to weigh but i got on the dreaded scale and have lost nothing :grumble: possibly due to the veggie delight and baked lays i scarfed down last night after 8pm + the atkins bar - oh, chocolate one day I will master you!!
I saw some posts about how to log shred cals burned - get this when I started this last Monday I burned 253 cals today I burned 196 - same weight and I think i was actually performing the exercises more efficiently, go figure. After tripping about this for a while, i broke down and bought a watch w/ a HRM... then finally got a HRM w/ chest strap - which I now use regularly when I work out. It keeps me in "zone" and gives a more accurate reading of the effort I'm expending (cals). and I've been adjusting my diet accordingly.
Diet is another topic all together :laugh: I tried no carbs for a week and a half, lost 7 lbs which was great but then added carbs again b/c I honestly don't think I can live on carb restriction like that long term. Now I am trying to keep my carbs and sugar below what MFP suggests - carbs I can manage pretty well. Sugar I seem to go over by like 20 grams or so... not sure what I need to do to tweek that. I am going to continue to try to read Jillian's book Master Metabolism - and I do have to start again - it's just a lot of information to absorb to see what insite she can give. This journey to health is more than just working out - what I'm eating plays a huge (pardon the funny) part in the results.
Slept late .today. 8am, had a breakfast shake and worked out for 70 min : Shred 1st, then TJ Fat Blaster (30 min of cardio intervals) and TJ AB Jam another 20min - It was great to take that me time - doesn't seem like 77 minutes is a big deal but it's hard to get it in during the week.
Sorry for the giant post ; I hope everyone makes the most of their weekend,
Janet

THe shred is fab, you warm up do 3 minutes of strength (lunges etc with weights, push ups) 2 minutes of cardio (jumping jacks, butt kicks) and 1 minutes of abs.
Its is good but it is hard especially on the knees so I dont know if it would be any good for you.
What about some pilates, thats quite good for strength and toning.... I love it and it works you in a different way but you wouldnt have the same sort of pressure on your joints that you get with the shred.0 -
Day 6/Level 1 complete!
I still have trouble during that 4th set of jumping jacks! I think it's all in my head and it's really ticking me off! I'm finding that when I shred in the morning, I crave a good power walk in the afternoon! That's great in theory, but I'm having a really hard time eating all the calories I am supposed to because it's counter-intuitive! I'm no longer starving and craving with all the exercise!
I started reading Jillian Michaels' "Master your Metabolism" to help figure things out and it's really interesting so far. Is anyone else reading this?
Have a great day everyone!
I had a day off between day 11 and 12. Day 12 hurt so baaaaaaaaaaaaad as a result. I was all achy like when I first started. I am definately not having another day off lol0 -
Way to go fellow shredders at whatever stage you are =D
Keep up the good work, we can do this xx0 -
I'm in!
I'm in day 20 of it, and have lost a couple of belt notches. Need some inspiration to keep going, I want to get to level 3!0 -
I have just done day 1 of level 1 of this and can't believe how intense it is! Will stick with it, hoping to see some results fairly quickly. Good luck everyone! 0

Day 4/Level 1 is done. Walked for 3 1/2 hrs yesterday at an art fair, so my right knee was a bit tender today. Hopefully it will work itself out. Weighed in at 194.5 this morning, which is a gain of 1 lb. I am hoping it is water from the high sodium foods yesterday at the art fair. The anterial arm raises were burning my shoulders today, too. However, I can really feel the difference in my stamina from day 1 already. I'm not nearly as winded. Still sweaty, but it's good! LOL. Keep up the great work everyone!0
-
Great job! Keep it up!0
-
Day 8/Level 1 to do today. It's a rainy miserable day and I don't think it will let up for my walk today so I'm going to try to really push hard through this one. I went WAY over my calories last night even though I only ate 1/2 of everything I ordered for dinner at the cheesecake factory! Oh, well. Back to work today. I'm worried that I'm getting tired of all of this counting!0

My knees are starting to hurt me a lot, and I am not someone that needs knee replacements. I don't have the best knees though. The exercises are hard impact. My knees have been really bothering me these last couple days. Today I am on Level 2, Day 3.0 -
I can imagine if you have bad knees that they would hurt. My hurt a little too. And I'm only on the 1st level. Just finished Level 1, Day 2. A long way to go, but it will be worth it if I get results. Thanks to all you who have posted ahead of me.0
-
Suppose to do Day 8 of level 1 today, but considering taking the day off. Did the 7 days in a row. Just cant decide whether to jump in and do it, or just do day 8 tomorrow.0

I had another cheeky day off yesterday, so frustrating since I only said yesterday I wasnt having any more days off... :blushing:
I did do 10 minutes of my blast off belly fat dvd, but only managed to get halfway through the shred :grumble:
but today i've done level 1 & level 2 to make up for my lame attempt yesterday. Its amazing how much more I can get done when I get up early and dont have the kids coming in every 5 seconds to ask ''are you done yet'' :laugh:0 -
OMG!!! OMG!!! Day 1 just finished level 1 session for the day for the first time ever. I thought I was gonna pass out and die right on the mat. My goodness am I out of shape. It must working because right now every bit of me hurts. I ache in places I never knew could ache.
I keep telling myself it's worth it. It was only 20 minutes but wow. Ok I sound crazy right now but I'm actually happy. Does anyone know how to enter the exercise into the calculator bit. You know the actual breakdowns. I know it's cardio, strength and abs but it's the calculations bit that's got me. How are you all inputting yours?
I feel so proud of myself because I managed to put that dvd on and I just did it (I did stop here and there) but hey I did it. Just that alone has given me strength to remind myself that I can do this. That WE can do this ladies. Will let you know how day 2, 3, 4 -30 go0 -
I was told to do 22 minutes of Circuit Training, General0

Level 1, Day 3 - FINISHED. I don't want to say its getting easier, but just maybe.0

Hi you all
Great to see how great evryone is doing. me mysef haven't. I dedcided to stop the shred for now. I just got really bored of it and find it really hard to motivate myself. As i have heard it so many times I can speak a long with the dvd. I just want something a bit more fun.
i will order Turbo Jam today. I think it is more my cup of tea.
I wish you all the good luck and hopefully meet you again on another thread!
keep up the good wrok ladies!0 -
I was actually thinking about starting it again. I have done it in the past and it is a killer, but the results are awesome! When do we start? 0
-
I'll do it! I have the dvd but can't seem to get motivated to do it! Maybe this is the jolt I need! Count me in!0
-
For those of you who says it gets boring. Why don't you do it every other day and mix up the levels. Do cardio on the other days. I0

Have you guys done any other videos with her like the cardio ones?0

Day 9 Level 1 done! I'm pleasantly surprised to see I did day 8 yesterday! This morning I was thinking that I was on day 8!
Also did my 2.85 mile walk in the rain. Cold, wet, windy, sweaty...how strange! But I did it and got to hear more of my book!
Here's my weekly data for Shredding.
Starting........................today (8/23)
Bust 42 1/2 ....................... 41 1/2
Waist 39 .............................37
Hips 44 .............................42 1/2
Butt & Thighs 46 ............................ 45 1/4
Arms 13..............................12 1/2
Thighs 25 1/2....................... 25
Unfortunately my weight keeps fluctuating. I'd lost 8 since August 2, and then put 4 back, then lost the 4 again and this morning I'm back up 3. Clothes starting to feel better but really need to focus on the food I think. I am consistently below calorie intake but only because I'm shredding and walking. I can't seem to eat the extra 500+ calories and it feels counter intuitive!0
