30 day shred

I did 30 day shred last year and loved it - lost about 6inches and the majority was from my stomach! I only did the workout and counted calories - 1600 a day, so with the food plan you'll do amazingly! Good luck! X

I just started it and love it, it kicks my butt but is over quickly. I am only doing it every other day though because I'm almost 50 and my muscles need the extra rest (that's my story and I'm sticking to it ). I do yoga, walking and/or biking on the alternate days. I love the upper body work because very weak upper body and I already feel stronger and like I stand taller.

I started the 30 day shred on Thursday- and my legs feel completely destroyed. Jillian Michaels is evil, but brilliant :P. It's amazing how good/bad you can feel after 20 minutes, but you can definitely feel it working. Can't wait till my thighs get over the initial shock of real exercise so it's easier and hopefully slightly more enjoyable.

I just started today and I really enjoy it. I'll join you. I just hope I can balance it with school.

i did it last year i lose of 5 pounds she sure kicked my butt but it was worth it. i've also done ripped in 30 and body revolution. shes great. she will have you curseing crying and mad lol if not annoyed. i'm giving her a break this year for a while. i'm doing insanity then T25. then back to JM

I did it 2x...lost a total of 16inches overall...

Only suggestion is that if you are eating 1200 calories make sure you eat the exercise calories back....

Hi,

I just got the 30 Day Shred today and hope to start tomorrow or Monday.

Just want to check - are you meant to do 10 days at each level or just stick to what you feel comfortable with? Ok, I know comfortable is totally the wrong word but you get my drift. Comfortable enough that you can cope with it and aren't going to die of a heart attack during the workout!

I've done Week 1 of C25k but probably going to do 2 weeks of each level as I have a tonne of weight to lose and don't think my legs will cope very well if I increase the running too quickly!

Thanks!

Some people just suggest 10 days for each level as it would make sense with it being 3 levels and 30 days, but you can do it however you want. I personally stick to the 10 days for each level, but I know of a few people who will do more or less of each level depending on how easy they find it. If they find themselves getting bored with it and they find it's becoming too easy, they'll skip to the next level even if they haven't completed the 10 days. If they find the level they are on is still a bit too tough for them and they don't feel ready to move on, they'll do that for a bit longer until they are.

Just do whatever you're comfortable with

I am literally in the same boat as you, only difference is I am 5'3. I love it! I already feel like I replaced my butt cheeks with two bowling balls! lol. I use 5lb weights but need to use at least 8lbs for the bicep curl exercise. After 3 days I am already noticing that certain areas are getting a little more toned. Add me as a friend and we can keep tabs on eachother

After you've done the shred for a period of time and don't use it but use lighter exercises (lower intensity) do the results of your efforts start to slowly go?

I am on Day 6 of Level 1. I love how I can feel the burn and starting to actually look forward to the next level. I measured and weighed myself before I started but I want to wait till the end of my 30 days to measure again to see what a difference it has made.

What is this. I've never heard of it

I read somewhere that JM did an interview about this. The advertising company put thier spin on it and says to do it daily. Jillian said she would recommend 2 days of it, one day of another cardio, one day rest. Repeat. Stay on level 1 10x then move up, if you feel ready. Like I say, this is hearsay, but it is what I am going to do, starting tomorrow. Good luck and please, wish me luck, lol.
