October 30 day shred challenge anyone?

I LOVE 30 Day Shred!!!! I use it on my off running days....I would love to join you all just for the motivation! I have been out of comission due to a cold so I probably won't start back until Monday...GOOD LUCK everybody!!!

Today should be day three. I have not been feeling well (TOM is tough for me), so I missed today and yesterday, Because of that I have really been watching what I eat. Tomorrow, I should be back on the wagon.

Yeah! Day 3 finished for me :-) I put my heart rate monitor on and forgot to start my watch :-S, so I still don't know how many calories I'm burning exactly! I'll try again tomorrow morning before work and actually try to remember! We are "well on our way to being shredded" lol

I'm in for October challenge. did the workout Oct 1st but missed 2nd and 3rd. will be back on track starting tomorrow 4th. My goal is to lose 5lb this month! my baby is 12 weeks old now so its time to get serious:)
starting weight :
178lb

Actually burned 310 on shred tonight, but I started immediately after my 40 minute "cardio dance blast" ~
I guess it just gave me a boost to a higher HR at the beginning. I use a cheapo watch that I have to keep pushing the button, so I'm prolly not the most accurate, but it's gotta be closer than the database (for me).

Oh, and I ended up skipping yesterday even after I said I didn't want to. Stuff happens ~ Back to it today :drinker:

Day 4 complete! ... exercising right as you get out of bed is tough... :-) Everything is great, except those darn push ups and the arm raises doing that lateral squat... I think it's clear to see that my arms are weak! Hope everyone else is doing well!

Day 6, done! Did it this evening instead of this morning because I wasn't feeling well earlier...didn't want to skip it because I really enjoy it I'm getting better on the push ups, can do half of them the real way and half of them the "girly" way

Keep up the good work everyone!

Things are going good with me and this round of the shred day 4 completed yesterday I dragged my hubby in with me and he pulled out his 20lb weights why was he sweating like crazy and I had to give him my 8lb weights before it was all said and done bumping me down to my 5lb weights LOL. Plus we were suppose to go to the gym after that and why did he say naw I think I am good but thanks LMBO!!! Yeah he was sleeping on those 27mins not no more hahahahaha!!

Alright...last night got a little busy and I didn't get a chance to post my workout and my starting weight and measurements So here they are:

Keep up the work friends ))

Finished Day 5 yesterday and on to day 6 today! Looking back on day on and remembering how I had to "take a break" during each exercise, and comparing it with yesterday's workout, where I made it all the way through with out a break, and I can't believe I have already come this far! I am loving my results already, I can't wait to see how I am on day 30! So glad I have stuck with it this time!

Day 7, done! Wooooo!

Keep up the good work everyone!

Yeah! Day 5 is done :-)

Hey everyone, either I'm missing something here, what video is it, I'm from England, what is this video about, I live in ENGLAND, so can I pick it up here.

would love to do the workout

We're completing the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred workout program. I know here in the states we're able to buy the video at our basic stores...walmart, target, meijer, etc. I'm sure you could find it online and order it or check it out online..maybe there is a store where you could find it.

It's really a great program. 3 levels of workouts. Complete Level 1 for 10 days...them move on to Level 2 for 10 days...and finally Level 3 for 10 days. 30 day program that only takes 20-25 minutes/day

I hope you'll be able to join us.

Day 5 – So close to not stopping. Just had to let up a little on the boxing and the squats with anterior raises. I had to slow down the bicycle crunches, but finally made it through without stopping. Also, the ‘old man’ legs are almost gone and I can walk normal again! Huzzah!

As to eating exercise calories...i notice when I eat them, i loose more slowly, so I just make sure to get as close to my base calories as possible and perhaps eat a few of the exercise calories back. It gives a little bit of a 'cheat' zone if I don't plan on eating them. But that works for me. I also try to listen to my body for when it signals it's hungry. At those times, I just find something simple to munch like some apple slices or perhaps some celery with peanut butter. I just keep it simple and it seems to be working quite nicely. But everybody is different so you just have to find what works for you! Good luck!

Yeah for us :-) I just completed day 6! I am tempted to go to level 2, just to get a bit of variety :-) But the pushups are still so hard for me that I know it's best to stick with level 1 for the 10 days. This is the first time I've actually been able to stay with this for more than a couple of days. It's making a big difference in my motivation and eating habits. Success really does breed success :-) Happy shredding!!
