30 DAY SHRED .. AGAIN
Replies
-
yeah, I think the exercising every day is a complete nightmare and I'm so afraid to miss a day of it! everyone says your not supposed to exercise every day and you need rest days but I'm afraid if I only exercise 4 times a week that won't be enough and I'll take more rest days than I'm supposed to!
I have been a little bad last night an didnt log it so I'm hoping my weight today is still my TOM and not actually weight :-(
lex69 - I'm from the UK! I hate the kilograms way of measuring, I've never done it!0 -
OK can someone tell me what a '30 day Shred 'is ?0
-
Day 3 of level 2 done and my body is completely exhausted. I think I'm going to have to postpone my run until tomorrow and have a half day of rest!! It feels so good knowing I've completed another day though...only 17 more to go! We can all do this. Keep fighting everyone!0

Hi, my name is Rebecca
The 30 day shred is from Jillian Micahels and its only 25 mins long! I think all 3 levels are on youtube for free but I have the DVD. I got a box set of hers for around £20 on Amazon - well worth the buy! I have some hand weights too, you will need these (1kg-3kg), I had never used weight before so I had to start with 1kgs.
Each level is comprised of a 25 minute work out, 5 minute warm up, 3 6 minute circuits and a 5 minute cool down.
3 mins strength
2 minutes cardio
1 minute abs
You will do 2 moves in each set, so for example (circuit 1):
3 minutes strength - 30 seconds of pushups, 1 minute of squat with a shoulder press (a squat whilst lifting your handweights straight up) and then repeat. one more time
2 mintutes cardio - 30 seconds of jumping jacks (star jumps) and 30 seconds of jump rope and then repeat one more time.
1 minutes abs - 30 second basic crunch and then 30 second reverse crunch.
Level 1 - 10 days
Level 2 - 10 days
Level 3 - 10 days
It sounds horrible and daunting, especially strength ebcause I never focused on upper body because I was so bad but trust me, you will be so much happier, stronger, more confident and more toned come the end!

thighs - 23 1/2 inches
Arms - 12 icnhes
Below Belly button - 36 inches

Calves -14 1/2 inches
Half-way point - 15th April
CW: 148.75 LBS
Waist - 28 inches
thighs - 23 inches
Arms - 11 icnhes
Below Belly button - 33.5 inches
Chest - 33.5 inches
Calves -14 inches
END - 3rd May
CW: 146.8lbs
Waist - 26.5 inches
thighs - 22 inches
Arms - 10.5 icnhes
Below Belly button - 32 inches
Chest - 32 inches
Calves -14 inches
All in all, give it a go! I've tried a few times and failed but I told myself no, I will do this! Took 2 days off because I just couldn't do it, my body needed a break. Do it 5 times a week if you want and walk the other 2. I started walking to and from work on level 3, 4 miles a day and then doing some of her no more trouble zones circuits (mostly for toning and also available on youtube for FREE).
Oh, and one last thing. You may not see a huge scale movement so the key is to measure, inches will be the greater loss here. Who cares what you weigh if you look good and toned, I think thats something everyone needs to work on in believing more, inlcuding myself.
Log the shred as 25 minutes circuits and no more trouble zones as curved circuit training and the length of time will depend on how many circuits you do!
I am so glad I finally finsihed it. Level 3 is crazy but you don't get bored and you feel amazing after it.0 -
OK great , Thanks for explaining.0
-
So, just googled it and did day 1! I couldn't find a complete set of hand weights so grabbed some cans. Who knew garbanzos and artichoke hearts could weigh so differently. Thanks for posting about your success with it. Perfect motivator!0

“Quick Trouble Zones” are the circuits/exercises within the “No More Trouble Zones” workout that do NOT require you to get on the floor, ie. floorwork. For example, the circuits or exercises where you have to get on your knees, touch the floor with your hands or sit on the floor you OMIT from the No More Trouble Zones workout. When you eliminate the floorwork portion from the “No More Trouble Zones” workout you are performing “Quick Trouble Zones”

day 4 of the Jillian Michaels June plan done :-)0
-
Done with day 5 yesterday. I only had 10 lb weights, which I used for the first 3 days and I couldn't move, I hurt so bad. I took Saturday and Sunday off, and then did day 4 and 5 (Monday and Yesterday), but I shared a 10lb weight b/w 2 hands...so that prolly dropped the efficiency of the complete movement, but I am not strong enough yet for the 10lb.
I'm excited. I like the program, and I like Jillian Michaels. Today will be day six and I already feel so much better...and I can finally almost completely get through the whole set without taking a quick break. Although bicycle crunches kill me, and that last round of cardio hurts too.. .lol!0 -
day 5 done! burn fat boost metabolism done, can't believe I made it the whole way through!0
-
Day 6 done. Could really feel the improvement, especially in the catdio sets.0
-
fell off the wagn a bit but i'm back at it now

I am on level 1-day 6. I have attempted this before and did not finish, but I am determined to do it this time. I am already noticing a difference.0

I just got my copy from the lIbrary. I am trying to fully fit into my size 16 bermudas, and shirts for my cruise in august. I can pull them up, but I can't button them. I am hoping from all the reviews that the 30DS will help me. Feel free to add me for support! I have Insanity, but I stop doing that because it is tough. Doesn't mean I am giving up. I just have to try something different right now. Again, anyone can add me for support! Especially, if you are doing 30DS. I need all the support I can get. :flowerforyou:0

I went camping for four days after starting 30ds. I restarted on sunday, but im alternating 30ds and the lower body butt bible video with cardio at the gym (stairs or treadmill on incline hill setting). I can already tell im shrinking. YYEEESSS

Interesting !
I've done 30ds twice - the 1st time 6 days out of 7 and the last 4 out of 7. I think I benefited from the extra rest days the last time.
Just starting the 3rd round, definitely interested in mixing it up with the other workouts!0 -
On level 2 ... I am finding this level so much harder than level 1. Level 2 is kicking my butt, lol. I am alternating this video with "No More Trouble Zones" and I love that workout!!
I feel ya! Im sore today from doing level 2, but it feels so good! Finally fit into my 12 pants comfortably

Still on Level 2 as I missed a few days, but after 3 weeks and 2 days I am officially down 9.2 lbs!!! I couldn't be happier with this workout or this website. Even my hubby has noticed the difference in the way I look. So pumped to keep losing the weight! The best part of it all is knowing that this weight is gone for good because I am losing it the right way and I'm not going back to my old eating habits.0
-
I have found on level 3, as I have a bad knee and have to use many of the modifications, that level 2 seemed more difficult. Maybe I should just do level 2 my last 9 days.0
-
WAY TO GO!!! I have a major love/hate relationship with Jillian, but after I was done, I LOVED her!!! That is awesome and your measurements are amazing!! Way to finish!!!0
-
Iv started the 30 day slim down today, did level 1 30 day shred and 30 mins of a kettlebell circuit. Tomorow same again then no more trouble zones which I hate but Il make myself work through it in the evening when the kids are in bed. Only ever got halfway through cicuit 1 before!
My measurements now are chest 36; waist 29; hips 36 thighs;24. Hoping to lose 2-3inches off waist and an inch off hips and a little off my thighs or at least tone them up abit. Iv not herd many stories of people completing the slimdown so im hopnig for good results if i stick to it0 -
I finished the Slimdown last week. Only lost 3 pounds but I lost 8.75 inches. I'm very pleased with that. I plan to repeat the program starting today or tomorrow0
-
I have tried this program SOO many times and always quit in level 2! This time I am doing it a bit different and I do 2 days of a level then on the third day I do cardio at the gym. The fourth day is a rest day and then I pick back up again. I was reading an interview in which Jillian suggested that this was better than doing all 10 days in a row so I thought I'd give it a try. So far it has been really easy to stick to which is the most important thing for me, although it takes a bit longer than the 30 days. Also, I find it really easy to finish the workout when I turn the volume almost all the way down and put my laptop (where I play 30DS) on top of/next to my TV and watch 30 minutes of a TV show while working out. Since I am so familiar with the program I barely ever need to look up at my laptop except to see when they are starting a new circuit! I hope this helps some of you who find the videos boring (I also HATE the music they play!).0
