30 Day Shred Challenge

Level 3 is more fast paced for sure, I still have weight to lose so I wasn't seeing the 6 pack she says you should be seeing by now, but I def seen more definition over most of my body, throughout level 3.

Keep it up, you're so close to finishing it, and if you don't see a lot of results I would expect your fitness level has improved which is great too.

By the looks of your picture you are a lot closer to a six pack than I am, so you can bet I laughed at her, and caught myself talking to the tv calling her a liar a few times, once you hear it about the 8th time it's like Umm nope still not yet, ask again tomorrow. lol

Hey now that's better than nothing, I have a vertical line does that count? I think that just may be all the years of sleeping on my side and being overweight.

Just kidding. Idk what it is.

How are you liking those rockstar jumps and the jumping lunges? Those was easily my least favorite.

Me too. Still nursing my ankle back so having to do adjustments.

I can see myself continuing this level.

Many thanks to both of you. I'm still waiting for the DVD but started already using the video which is on you tube. Good first session, I'm great cardio....weak muscles!! Loads of sweat and over before you now it. Great routine and should be very simple to follow. How are others getting on? Xx

Day 3, level 3 done.

I have just started walking outside a few days ago. I would like to start the 30 day shred challange as well. I am about 263 pounds and I am finally ready to start losing weight. I think this might help my motivation to continue and finally finish my goal. I want to get to 180 pounds and then build muscle. I walk for 1 hour everyday, and I plan to do the 30 day shred along with it. I would also like to do some weight lifting as well. am I trying to hard to soon?

After 3 months I finally took the wrapper of the case and completed day 1 of the 30 day shred

I understand why so many people said they thought they were going to be sick, and still now an hour after my legs feel a little like jelly.

Seeing everyone's results on here has inspired me so much, I hope I go on to complete the 30 days.

I first planned to do 30 day shred and c25k but after reading your post this morning, I'm thinking I might just stick to the 30 day shred and plan some 30 min walks.

Stick with Ashley I'll check in each day and we can let each other know how were getting on.

Hi everyone.

Yesterday was day 1 of the shred for me. Woke up this morning and 30 days seems like such a long way away!

I purchased a polar HRM yesterday to help with motivation, so then went for a run aswell just to see the results..

Maybe I've just over done it but I am I'm terrible pain today! Refuse to give up on the shred on day 2 but I'm disappointed knowing it's going to be a half effort due to the pain I'm feeling!

Someone tell me it gets better?!

Do any of you incorporate rest days into the plan?

Xx

I started last Monday (August 12) and experienced the same thing: the entire week, I was achy and sore and everything seemed to hurt. The first two days, I kid you not, I could barely go up and down the stairs. I didn't want to injure myself so I took it easy. I did what I could but didn't push too hard. I worked through the soreness. I took Saturday & Sunday to rest, and then started again this Monday. And by started again, I mean that I considered August 19 as Day 1.

And it's been great. My "practice week" was a great jumpstart to working out the kinks and introducing my muscles to hard work, and this week I'm hardly sore at all. AND I've been able to do the whole [modified] workout without stopping. Yes, it burns but the burn is good!

So my point is, you can do it! But do listen to your body so you don't get injured.

So day 1 down. I couldn't complete about 25% of the exercises, but I started each one. some of the cardio was just a bit too much for me. I think by the 2nd week I will be able to push through each one. Its tough walking 3.4 miles and then doing the 30 day shred. But I am tired of being overweight.

I am about 1/2 way through the 30 days but I would love to join you guys. Level two is so much harder then level 1 I thought I was dieing, I hope level three isn't such a big jump in difficulty

Good stuff! I definitely made good use of the warm up today for pushing past the pain and really loosening up the aches muscles. When you push yourself you learn why those warm up and cool down routines are so important! Got through today just switching to lighter weights than I used yesterday and feel good!

Is this your first time doing the shred.. Level 2 sounds daunting but can't wait to get there!

I'm on Day 3 of Level 3, and I'm having a tough time. I start off trying to follow Natalie, the advanced moves and I do what I can there (usally two or three reps) then I have to take it down a notch and follow Anita (for beginners). I do this on all of the sets, I start off as strong as I can and push until my arms or legs won't do it. Then I stay in the game and I do what I can. I'm basically 23 days in and have lost 2" in my chest, 2" in my waist, 1" in my upper arm, 1/2" in my hips. I gained 5 LBS the first week, I increased my calories from 1200 to 1500. Lost that weight and dropped 41/2 more since then. I have 7 days left.

That's amazing, I would be happy to lose 2" round my middle by the end of the 30 days, you have to let us know your results once you have completed it.

Right I'm going to buy this 30 Day Shred DVD today and start it. Feel free to add me new 30DS people and we can keep each other motivated!
