    I was going to start this back up this week too so Im in!
    Weather is starting to turn so its time to pick back up with the indoor activity (sigh).
  • Jillian is a beast... I tried it once and gave up after about 2 days... But I'm game to start again tomorrow and see if I can stick it. lol

    you know I was doing this on another thread but I have NOT been as consistant as I would have liked. I just may start over with you! I will probably get to level 2 pretty quickly since I have already started level 2 a few times but I'm in! Is this you r first time doing it ever???

    The 30 Day Shred DVD is about $10.00 + tax at Target....a great workout DVD that's very inexpensive.

    Ive started twice before but have not gone past level 1 yet . . . so Im up for the challenge. I have bad knees and this is not the best DVD for that but it is such a terrific workout that I cinch up my knee brace and get the advil out for the first while. I think that is what has scared me out of going onto level 2 . . . well that and the fact that I just cannot do a push up from my toes . . . I've mastered the "girlie" ones from your knees but felt that I should be able to do at least one from your toes before moving on . . . sigh.

    I have started and stopped so many times, but I am willing to challeng myself once again so count me in!!!! Maybe I can sticke with it this time!
  • I just downloaded it last week, and planned on using it when I didn't have time to do my usual workout. I think I'll join you guys and give it the whole 30 days like it's setup for. I'll be starting tomorrow though, I have two hockey games this afternoon and just took a roof off of a barn this morning, so I can't fit it into my schedule for today.

    Good luck everyone!
  • I will be starting the 30 day shred monday morning and also need the motivation so would like to join your group. :happy:

    We should all check in everyday so we can be held accountable. We can all keep eachother motivated. I plane on doing each level for 10 days. I did the this last year after I had my son and had great results. I have been slacking lately eating a lot of junk and have gained about 5 pounds. I need to get back on track!! I am excited for all of us to keep eachother motivated.

    I just completed Day 1 Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred. It was a little challenging, but I feel great!

    You can do it! After about 5 days it gets easier! :)

    Mine arrived at the weekend so I am starting today (with some trepidation). I always start these things then give up half way through so I hope you can all keep me going to the end.
    Hubby is going to take a photo of me tonight as the starting point and I'll do weight and measurements too.
  • Day one completed level 1 dont think i will ever be able to master jumping jacks...

    30 day shred is awsome but all her DVDs are :-} I have done them all. 30 day shred is still a but kicker but I like to do the level i am doing and repeat it for an hour of calorie burning. Try it that is a challange. 20 min is nothing for me so I have to challange my body. Remember challanging your body and pushing yourself out of box that is where you will see change.

    Log it as Circuit Training or make a new exercise using circuit training numbers. If you are able to get a HRM that's your best bet.. I'm still hoping to get a HRM soon. Good luck !

    Okay so I didn't get off my a@@ yesterday, because that is my normal rest day. But I awoke this morning at 5:27am and got busy before coming to work. I am going to do my darndest (prob not a word) to meet the 30DS challenge this time!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!

    Day one completed level 1 dont think i will ever be able to master jumping jacks...

    I totally understand this, it's not so much that I can't do a jumping jack or a jump rope for that matter, it's just that I am really top heavy even with 2 bras on and it kinda hurts, so I jog in place at a rate comparable to the jumping jacks and jump ropes. As long as I'm moving I think it should count for something.

    Day One Completed - thought I was going to throw up at one point! I am SO unfit. That was yesterday and I am suprised to find I don't ache that much this morning! Probably will when I do it again later though.....

    So okay here's my dilemma - I have boot camp Tues, Wed, & Friday, which is just like the 30DS and I am not sure how I should work this schedule. Any suggestions? I was thinking maybe I could try to do it in the morning before work, what you think? Hope everyone is having a great time shredding:drinker:
  • I have what may seem like an od question, but am very interested in the 30 day shred. i was wondering how much room you need to do it. I have weights, but unfortunately i room and board, as opposed to renting a full apartment, so i realy only have ful use of a bed room... will that be enough space?

    Walmart sells a watch that has a built in heart rate monitor and pedometer. I love mine! It is great to check heart rates while running/walking. I think mine cost about $30 and is made by Sportline- it eliminates the need for a chest strap which can be uncomfortable.
