30 Day Shred - Anyone want to join me ?

Back on and done with day 4/level 2. My calf muscles and knees are still stiff from hiking, but I knew they would feel better once I warmed them up. Really hate those planks...UGH!

Wow! Where did everyone go? Ran out of time to shred yesterday, but completed day 5 / level 2 today. Half way through Level 2!

I LOVE 30 day shred!!!! It does "kill"ya but the pain is well worth the results!!! I normaly try to run between 3-4 miles every other day (which has not happened since I went back to work-I teach 2nd grade) and then do only the strength and abs. On my off days I would do the whole first level and believe me I hurt!!! Just having a hard time finding the time to get the workouts in now that I'm back to work-and have 2 little ones at home!!! I might have to just suck it up and get up at 5:00....

Yes, I did this workout once again last week. I thought I was strong enough to just jump right in and combine it, back to back with C25K. Oops, that didn't go well. I was only able to maintain the C25k last week. This week I will start anew - but alternate days.

Ok, so, I totally fell off the wagon. I'm back at square 1 so I'm starting the shred over. Its good to see a few people I started with are still pushing on and losing weight. Hopefully I don't let myself get distracted again.

I did my final day of level 2 shred. I can't wait to move on to level 3 tomorrow. I will still on shred 3 days a week. I bought a hrm and it says that I burned 298 calories doing level 2. I didn't do any modifications and I didn't take any breaks. So I can believe that number the way I was sweating and panting. of course mfp has a much lower number. all this time, I had been short changing myself on the number of calories burned. of course you want to underestimate and not overestimate. so I want to see how many more calories are burned in level 3. I will probably have to ease into it slowly like the previous levels, but if I can hit a 300 burn in a little over 20 minutes....well no complaints there.
good luck ladies. we're past the half way point of the month, let's end it strong.

I just finished level 1 day 5. I am thrilled with how strong I feel and how my underwear are beginning to SAG on my shrinking booty. Yay! Keep it up ladies, its worth it! :happy:

I just got the DVD and the Yoga Meltdown DVD. Anyone else got other JM DVD recommendations? I work Friday-Sunday (sometimes Monday) so I will be doing this on my days off as well as my regular exercise routines, Gilad's Bodies in Motion and Gilad's Total Body Sculpt.

Ok....fell off the wagon for a while. We have been sooooo busy lately and I have been so tired. But made myself shred tonight b/c I want to get out of the 190's and into the 180's by the end of the month. Weighed in at 190.4 yesterday. Day 9/Level 2 is done and I was really feeling it.

I have been doing it for a little while but I am doing it every other day. I don't like to do same workout daily. Are you losing lbs easily with this. I am gaining muscle so the weight is the same.. Normally I drop weight easily.

I started on Monday (this week). Wow, she kicked my butt! I only have four days off during the week and that's when I do this workout. I skipped a day because I was sore and wanted to give my muscles a rest but on the next day, I noticed my endurance was better. I have a question though, how is this workout categorized? I have been entering it as "aerobics, high impact". I'm curious as to what others are entering this workout as on their logs. Since I will not be doing this workout Friday-Sunday, my 30 days will be a bit weird.

@ gatedialer- You can try logging it as circuit training.

I just have to say I love level 3 of 30 day shred. I hated level 2. Level 1 and Level 3 are the best. I do the shred every other day and do the biggest loser cardio max alternating days. I am showing some muscle after a couple time with jillian!! It's great.

Sorry, jdavis--I just saw your post. I have not lost a lot of weight, but I am really dropping inches. I don't know which to be happier about. Someone on another thread posted that with intense cardio workouts, your muscles hold on to water for up to 2 weeks. This happened to me and then I finally dropped some weight. I tend to lose weight slowly anyway. I have only lost about 7 lbs in 60 days, but I keep trudging along. Sometimes I get really jealous and down when I see all these new people dropping 25+ lbs in the same amount of time and here I am sitting at 7 lbs.:ohwell: But I like what I am seeing in the mirror so far, have bought some other Jillian DVD's and will keep on going. Good luck to you!:drinker:
