NOVEMBER- 30 day shred

I've completed 22 days of the 30 day shred. I think i pulled something in my back - it's that or level 3 kicked my butt. Back at it tonight!!! I see a difference in my arms and upper abs but not the lower.

I'm also doing the eat stop eat diet. I have 8 hours to go before I can eat something.... Wish me luck!

Day 20 done, and I kept up with Natlie (on level one except for the squats on the last circuit ) and went 5 minutes back into it again...

I feel freaking awesome tonight...

Just keep trying, dont give up. You might miss a day but get back to it as soon as you can. I havent done 30 Day Shred since Saturday but Im going to try to do it today. So far Ive completed 9 days of Lvl 1 and 6 days of Lvl 2. My goal by the end of the month is to complete 10 days of Lvl 2 and 3 days of Lvl 3.

Good Luck Everyone!

did u see L3 .. hehewe are going to sweat like crazy thanks fo pushing its just hard to start... i will do 30day shred till end of december twice a day then switch to other dvd i'm thinking no more trouble zones... but here comes holidays and all the yami food hope we can all know our limit
keep with good work !!

Day 24 is over! I rocked it! Like the other levels, once you get used to the moves they don't seem so bad, but still really tough. I can't decide what to do once this is all over. Any other DVD suggestions?

Day 25 is complete! I was able to kick my knees higher doing the "rockstars" tonight! I can feel myself getting stronger. I even felt some definition on the back of my shoulders that wasn't there before. Lovin' it!

I just completed day 29--one day to go!!
My rock stars are more like pebble stars, but at my age I'm happy.

I just did Day 27 of the Shred. I missed Friday, not because i wanted to, but my power was out all evening. I'm pretty annoyed that I'm a day behind, but I still only have 3 days left.

Today is my last day but I am baffled... I have done this along with running every day for 30 days (did not miss one day). My stomach feels a little firmer and I can tell a difference in my arms and legs BUT I did not lose 1 pound. This was a huge let down for me. I was hoping to lose at least five pounds.

Thyroid issues run in my family. I seem to have a lot of the symptoms but my test came back fine (or so I was told). It took my aunt's doctor two years to figure out that she had thyroid problems. I do not want to wait that long...

I'm not quitting - I am getting Jillians fat burner video

I'm back on track! Starting again from level 1, but am doing it every day this week. Then, I'm moving up to level 2.

Thanks....

I have been looking at different videos to change it up a bit. I love to run but was told it's not good to do it everyday. It's my stress reliever.

Anyone have any good suggestions on video's?

I have a whole selection that works for me (disclaimer--I'm old). One thing I missed about the shred every day was mixing up my routines. I walk, bike, ride my horse almost every day, then do a dvd and do tai chi everyday--some yoga most days.
My go to dvds are BL cardio max (I do the second level--hate the twirpy other trainer) and BL sculpt. I have a 45 min step and a two kick butts (they,re old but I like them). If I'm feeling not motivated or sore I have WATP Walk and jog or Walk and Kick.
If we have a winter like last year I also have an exercise bike that works the arms too and an old rowing machine, but I like to get outside when possible. So dig out what you have and mix them up--I plan on just adding the shred--all three levels to my mix.
Since you like to run (I'm assuming outside) get out your old bike. I like to ride my horse and hike, but I added the bike because you use different muscles. The other thing about a bike is it keeps you honest--if you stop pedaling you fall over.

Congrats to everyone who made it through the challenge!

Im ending the month with 17 days complete (9 days of Level 1 and 8 days of level 2). It was difficult for me to stick with the same exercise everyday. So I did other exercises on the days I didnt feel like doing 30 Day Shred. Now, dont get me wrong, I enjoy 30 Day shred and I will be keeping it in my workout rotation but just not everyday. I look forward to trying Level 3 in the future.

I wish everyone well on their weight loss journey! :flowerforyou:

I think I am down in inches because my dress pants fit differently but I didn't lose any weight at all. I am actually heading to the doc's this afternoon to have blood work done. Both of my aunts have thryroid problems and are anemic. I already know that I'm borderline anemic but they haven't found anything wrong with my thyroid.... but then again it took almost two years for one of my aunts. I actually hope they find something so it can be fixed... I hate feeling like I am full of water all the time.

I took a day off and started the shred again. Funny that level 1 actually made my arms soar. I wonder if mixing it up - doing level 1, 2, and then 3 and just rotating them would work....

Good luck
