30 Day Shred

keep going!! great job and know you are not alone, holy cow i couldn't sit down when i did day 1 and i was also shocked how much i sweat in 20 min. her 3 2 1 is phenomenal! i'm on day 5 and i still haven't mastered it all level 1. i can't even fathom thinking about level 2. i still struggle with my 2 minute cardio jumping jacks. wow!!! i never thought i wouldn't be able to do them. it is a struggle!

good luck and keep pushing. i measure tongiht i'm anxious to see!. i'm also doing gym and cardio in the evenings. her workouts in the morning are incredible to curb my hunger and just get me going.

keep posting results or add me as a friend. all my best

I love her 3 2 1 too! I didn't make it throught the 2 min cardio jumping jacks last night. I really want to try to start doing in the morning but I can't get myself out of bed early enough! LOL I am going to start running in the evenings so hoping if I start doing 30DS in teh morning this weekend-I will get in the habit & NEED it.

Good luck with your measures!

I started this on Monday. I've tried to do it on and off over the past few years but only got to about day 7 and gave up. I wasn't doing any diet etc either so wasn't the best! I've now been on weightwatchers since March and lost 32lb with another 14 to go until in my healthy BMI weight with just following the diet and walking daily. So I now want to get rid of my pot belly so thought I best start exercising a bit more.

Can anyone tell me if it's normal to put on weight when starting this DVD? I'm guessing it is as you are building muscle but when I stood on the scales this morning I'd put on about 3lb since this time last week. I've only been doing it 3 days though (had a rest day yesterday as was very sore)?

Sore is an understatement! Yowsa!! I could barely walk this morning and I took yesterday off! I will be doing it again tonight and then starting mornings tomorrow so I can get 2 weekend days in before I have to get back to work on Monday. I may not have time to meet my goal weight but I am going to at least get a few inches down so I can feel comfortable in my shorts!

We are going on Carnival - Eastern Carribean - Half Moon Cay Bahamas, St. Thomas, San Juan Puerto Rico and Grand Turk. 7 days of no electronics with both of our kids and about 5 or 6 other couples/families. I'm so excited!!!! Many firsts for our family - first cruise, first time seeing the ocean, first time out of the country (other than Canada). CAN'T WAIT!!

I am doing it right now. I am at level 2 but I can still remember how sore I was in the first week of level 1!! Everything was in pain. I did level 1 14 days long before I moved on. I only do it 4 times a week
Let me tell you Level 2 is killing me right now. I didn't get sore anymore but there are a few times during the 20 minutes where I need to make a break because I simply cannot go on. Level 2 has a lot of exercises for upper body strength at which I really suck.

I lost 6lbs and alltogher 3.3 inches but I am also doing something similar like c5k three times a week.
I didn't adjust my diet except that I am trying to eat more protein.

i was thinking this morning during workout if i want to move on to level 2 and yea i suck at upper body too. i'm still hurting a bit in level 1 and i'm not mastered it, and i'd like to do that before i move on. i also have to stop a few times in level1, but i do the 5 seconds that she says. have you looked at level 3? i also have her revolution, her abs, her butt and thighs and her beginners. she's a beast!

i hate circuit one in level one - push ups and squats and jumping jacks! omg, i'm so glad when we get to circuit 2. lol

I didn't really take a look at level 3 only read that it's supposed to be easier than level 2. I believe that!!
Jumping jacks in Level 1 were ok but I hated the push ups and were only able to do the modified version and the side lunges with raised arms were horrible.
Now there are so many plank position moves (strength, cardio, abs) and I hate them all with a passion :laugh:

You have Body Revolution? This is very high on my wish list! I saw a thread recently here with awesome results. I only have RI 30 which I want to do afterwards and Killer Buns and Thighs.

I'm on day 3 now but holy hell I couldn't walk when I woke up the next morning after day 1!! :sad:

My thighs felt like they were going to rip out of my skin, It was so hard going up & down the stairs - let alone sitting on the toilet! Haha.

I better look awesome after the 30 days :laugh:

xx

i just did day 6 level 1 this morning. i have a love hate realationship with jm. the side lunges and the squat raise kills me every time
