I'm starting it tomorrow, so I was wondering if anyone has started it recently or is starting soon. Is there a thread like that already? If not, you can share how well you're doing or how much you want to murder Jillian here with me. :bigsmile:

    This is just info I've gathered, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    30 Day Shred is a workout video that is supposed to go over 30 days (but many people I've seen on here take breaks or even do it every other day), there are 3 levels, so I'm assuming you do each level 10 times. Jillian Michaels is the woman who does The Biggest Loser, and though I've never watched that I'm told she's less harsh in this DVD. She goes through stretches and a circuit of working your muscles and cardio.

    I downloaded it free, don't tell the cops, but you can watch it here for free also before you get it: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/UgpuDex8Iuo/

    It's also for sale for around 10 dollars.

    A couple of day ago I saw that someone had started a thread to do the 30 Day Shred from like Aug 18 to Sept 18, or something like that anyway. I just did my very first day of 30 Day Shred today. It'll kick you're butt that's for sure and I actually didn't think Jillian came off as harsh. I'm really motivated though after all the positive threads and before & after pics I've seen from 30 Day Shred. So, good luck.:smile:

    I plan on starting today. I am going to take a before and after pic. We should post them here along with our results when we are finished. Good luck, I'm nervous!!

    Toady, yeah, when I watched a bit of it she just seemed like the typical workout lady, haha. (AND ONE, AND TWO, GOOD! DON'T GIVE UP! FEEL THE BURN!)

    Tissy, that's a great idea! Anyone who has a tape measure could post before and after measurements too, if they want. Good luck to you too! And to everyone else!

    I'm planning on starting this as well! I think there are a couple other threads but lets keep this one alive since we will be on the same schedule!

    Yeah, I've seen a few for August, but none for September. I know we're starting a few days before, but that's okay.

    I'm taking before pics tonight, and logged my start weight (221.6). I haven't measured yet, so I might do that tonight as well. I'm excited to see changes!

    Good luck, bk! (And anyone else I missed, haha.)

    I have done this and now she has a 30 day shred it with weights out. For anyone interested go to collagevideo.com and you can watch clips of any video you might want to purchase. I love that site. There is also a forum there to talk with others or to ask questions. Love that forum also.

    That sounds interesting, bopper. I think the weights will be good for me though. Soon I'm going to be behind a 4lb puppet and WOW those things get heavy! Working my arms will be good!

    Does anyone know what weight they'll be using? I'm thinking 2lb to start... Also they'll be easy if I just fill my water bottles with water... 2lbs each!

    I took before pictures and also my weight and measurements. I will post before and after pics in 30 days time with measurements as well. Gearing up for my first session!

    Forgot to add in my other post: I'm going to be using 3lb hand weights to start and go from there.

    I'm thinking of starting 30DS on September 1st since there are 30 days in the month. Plus, I'm also healing a neck injury and still need the rest time until then.

    That's good, haha. I did day one today and while I was doing it I thought I was going to collapse! Afterwards wasn't so bad, but those pushups (even doing girly ones) killed me! I forgot about the weights so I just grabbed whatever I could find, which ended up being two mini lava lamps. :laugh:

    I know I did the crunches wrong because my neck hurt a bit right when she said it shouldn't. And my bicycle crunches were more like me flipping my legs in the air rolling back and forth.

    But whatever. :bigsmile: I'll get better!

    Good luck to everyone who's joined us! BetterMe I hope your neck feels better, and Yummy, welcome and congrats on making it do day 3!

    Just finished Day 4.

    My honey even did it with me today. He stuck it out though and he doesn't even workout! He keeps saying he wants to and since this video is only 20 minutes, he wanted to join me for the challenge. I am trying to get him to modify some of the moves because he has bad knees.

    Random notes:

    ~I wore my new heart rate monitor (Polar FT4, which I found online for 70 bucks!) and it says I burned 156 calories.

    ~For some of the strength portions I use 2 lb weights (front raises, squat press) for some I use 5 ( chest flyes, bent rows or whatever it's called).

    ~I was super sore from the previous days as well as Zumba and Bikram Yoga, but after the warm up I got into it.

    ps, DelphicScorpion, thanks for the welcome!

    are any of you adding extra cardio to your program? I'm thinking about starting the 30ds but I think I'm going to add extra cardio to it as well. Also I think I'm only going to do the 30ds every other day. I've done this video before, made it to level 2 and quit lol....I'm going to stick to it this time.

    flattsfan22,

    I am definitely doing additional stuff.

    I run, take zumba classes, pilates and bikram yoga. I think someone could probably get great benefits just from the shred, but I know I need more.

    What do you guys think about a 30DS/Chalean Extreme Hybrid? Have any of you had any experience with Chalean Extreme? Its a great program but its mainly a strenght training program, so I wasn't sure if this would be ok to do along with 30DS because of the weight training Jillian does in her videos. I think I will be adding additional cardio with these videos. I will definitely be starting 30DS and then adding in Chaleans cardio workout she has with the CLX program and then prob some elliptical work too. I also play softball so I will do that 2 times per week.

    I think I'm going to start this soon. I started doing it last year, but then I got pregnant and decided to stop exercising :wink:

    I just did day 7, level 1 and I measured and have lost an inch of my waist in 7 days :D

    Gonna keep doing level one longer than the ten days though, as I want to have totally mastered one level before moving on and I still have to stop a few times atm.
