Jillian Michaels: 30 Day Shred
Replies
-
I am planning to start in the middle of April but I have already tried the level one workout to know what I am getting myself in to. The first time I tried it, I hurt for 3 whole days but the second time I tried it, I didn't hurt at all. So I guess that the results of the first try gave me the boost for the second attempt.
It looks promising!0 -
I suggest to follow a good eating plan and still do some cardio if you want weight to come off and not just inches. I do 30 mins of cardio on top of doing the 30 day shred.
I am on day 9 level 1 (I have skipped a few days because of lack of time. But I still lost 2 pounds this past week and inches. If you need to lose weight , I don't think the 30 day shred is enough by itself. So combine it with something.0 -
I started JM's 30 day shred dvd today the sweat is just pouring off me and I exercise 5 days a week. I received the DVD today and plan to do the month and see what difference it makes. Only on level 1 today. Does anyone have any idea what calories you burn with this dvd?0

I'm on it right now! Going to do level 2 starting tmrw!0

It all depends on your fitness level however, I am pretty fit and I am still pushing on Level 1 at present only my second day. I find the warm up is not sufficient to start jumping in the initial stages and am afraid it will cause an injury, so will do a warm up before I start the dvd as I have tenonitis and my feet start aching once I have done the jumps and start moving into the skipping section. I am enjoying it though.0

I picked up 30DS as a compliment to my Kettleworx routine. I have a tendency to get bored and I have read and heard from many sources to include JM that it's good to mix it up - that your body adapts to routine and results begin to decrease unless you change it up. Anyway, I expected 30DS to be a lighter workout that would be good for in between days or for days I want something different. Wrong! 30DS is a good workout and I find it pushing me more than the kettle bells. It's def working for me and I'm enjoying it. I got my DVD for about $5 thru amazon so it was a no brainer for me to try and I'm really glad I did.
And if you can't keep up initially, so what? Just do what you can, push yourself but stay safe (no injuries!!) and make it fun. I think the later is a key to success for me.
Another thing I find very complimentary to my routine is the JM podcasts. They are free and really great. JM usually talks about one topic related to fitness, diet and/or exercise tips, and talks general life stuff, motivation... I don't know. She's really good at connecting fitness to the spiritual, emotional, mental and just living well. It has def increased my focus on fitness and connects it to my life in its whole.0 -
I'm finally brushing off the dust on the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred for my 3rd high intensity workout. I have a trainer for 2 days a week, but I can't seem to burn and maintain a food log. It looks like it's working for everyone here.0

Reading through the posts everyone says they lose inches but no so much lbs its because your losing fat and gaining muscle, if your losing inches your losing fat and just replacing it with muscle thats how she does it when she combines weights and cardio. I'm starting this again, i never make it past level 2 because i get bored with it but i've got all new motivation, I have 2 months to lose at least 20 lbs0

IVe started day 1 today (4th attemp to get motivate!!! Wedding date set so now I have no excuses')
Anyone know how to add 30 day shred into the fitness calculator to help me keep track of everything??? TIA0 -
Just started day one of the shred......omg! she is scary..lol but it she helped keep me going...dont stop dont stop....i wanted to stop so bad....but she said not to..lol im exhausted...0
-
I purchased the DVD a while back...it definitely was a great source of exercise but sure was tough the first few days! After reading this thread I think I might start up again!0
-
does anyone lnow how i should add this to myfitnesspal? how many calories burned inhave no idea0
-
Hi everyone! How do we add the 30ds to our exercise tab? I've searched everything I could think of for this but can't find it at all. Thanks!0
-
Found another post somewhere on here that suggested logging it as circuit training. That's what I'm doing.0
-
It's hard to say how many calories it burns because it varies depending on your weight. If you do a google search for "calories burned in 30 day shred" or something similar, you'll get lots of different answers.
I weigh 200 lbs, and log it as 200 cals burned.0 -
Hello everyone!
I've just started 30d shred yesterday. I felt totally dead afterwards, but today it is even worse. I am almost not able to walk, my legs just refuse, same with getting up or going down on legs. I dunno, should I take a day break or would it be better to just force myself to do as much as I can today?0 -
I loved the 30 day shred and like lots of you found it fit around the family (read kids!)
I'm going to do it again soon but first will try the 6 week 6 pack - have done 1 session and ached so much I couldn't roll over in bed the following night lol!!!0 -
lol I know I have to do that too0
-
The warm up is definitely lacking. I do a good 10 minutes of warm up before starting the workout...and an extra 5-10 minutes of cool down/stretching afterwards.It all depends on your fitness level however, I am pretty fit and I am still pushing on Level 1 at present only my second day. I find the warm up is not sufficient to start jumping in the initial stages and am afraid it will cause an injury, so will do a warm up before I start the dvd as I have tenonitis and my feet start aching once I have done the jumps and start moving into the skipping section. I am enjoying it though.0 -
I am also a mom of two! I love the convenience. It killed me at first but always loved how i felt afterward and after completeing it I went back for round two. Now I incorporate Ripped in 30, to make it a little more challenging.
I did 5 days a week. So 2 weeks at level 1. Two Weeks at lever 2, and so on. So it took me 6 weeks.
I use 5 lb weights, that killed me at first but now I think they are perfect.
Good Luck! I love it, Lost 10 pounds, but I also changed my diet to mostly healtheir eating. So I am sure it was the combo of diet and exercise.
Ohhh, and at first I thought i could do it with the kids in the room, they are only 2 and 3 so not a good idea. Now i do it when i put them to bed, (its only 27 min including cool down) or In the mornings i just get up 30 mins earlier. : )0 -
Theres 3 levels to it and each level gets harder (ive heard that level 2 is the hardest) you stay on each level for 10 days then move on to the next. Jillian says to do it 2 days 30ds 1 day cardio 2 days 30ds 1 day cardio and rest day...but a lot of people just do it straight. I recommend stretching your legs out more then she does in the video my thighs are just now starting to not hurt. i couldnt sit for 2 days lol...i have a 9 month old and a 5 years old and this dvd is perfect for when they're taking there nap. sometimes i get a burst of energy and ill do it twice a day./..again after bedtime. If you buy this dvd 2-3 pound weights would be more then enough. i have 5 pound weights and it makes it really hard my arms burn so bad...but this is a really great workout!!
hope this helps..
Thank you! I've been looking for the answer on how often this should be done and couldn't find it anywhere! I just finished day 1 level 1 and I am WEAK in the arms and legs. Feels so good! And I go to the gym daily and have been for 3+ months and no workouts I do make me feel quite the same as this! AND I'm there for a good 1-1.5 hours whereas this is 25 minutes and you're done! Can't wait to start seeing more results!0 -
Does anyone else have trouble with the side lunges? I use five pound weights, so maybe the load is too heavy?0
-
I just started this last night because I didn't want to go to the gym but I wanted some sort of work out......
HOLY COW.
I'm in pretty decent shape... I play softball 2x a week, hit the gym at least once but this was way different.
I have the 5 pound weights and realized that my arms are way sore from the level one stuff.
I feel good today though and I may not have as much soreness in my legs because of the fact that I had an intense day on Weds but it was worth it.
I'm going to pilates tomorrow morning and doing level 2. I'll let ya know how it goes!0 -
I do lol.Does anyone else have trouble with the side lunges? I use five pound weights, so maybe the load is too heavy?
I use 5 lbs weights as well, however, I think I am just uncoordinated?
No matter how I try, I just don't get them right.0 -
Probably works better than the 15 day shred but not as good as the 90 day shred. The lifetime shred is the best program I think.0
-
Also, after the first day or two on each level I would mute the DVD and play my own music. Jillian gets really annoying!
Good luck!
Totally agree with this, I should try muting her!

Hi everyone,
I am new to this so mind if I ask a lot of questions. I am going to start my 30 day shred with Jillian Michaels. But i do have a question regarding the weight lose. Do any of you change your eating habits while on the 30ds ? If so can you give me some ideas, I am having such a hard time getting use to the fact that Im at my heaviest and its making me depressed. Did anyone feel this way? HELP0 -
I've done it before and I saw huge changes in my body, but only because I had a good diet too. Without a reasonable caloric deficit, you won't notice any results.
The best advice I can give you for the DVD in particular is to not be ashamed of doing the modified version of the exercises because they are hard at first. I used 3 lb. dumbbells initially, but then upgraded to 5 lb. dumbbells after I didn't feel challenged with the lighter dumbbells.
You might not notice a difference on the scale, but you'll definitely lose inches which is what really matters. Scales are the enemy, IMO. lol
It's hard at first, but just push through it! Your body will adapt. 0 -

You have to change your eating habits if you want to see results. Don't get yourself down though. I used to be depressed about being overweight during my childhood, but the only way I made that change was to start eating healthy and creating a decent calorie deficit to lose fat.
http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ This calculator will tell you your TDEE (the amount of calories to maintain your weight at your activity level). Every 3500 calories you lose, every 1 lb. of fat you lose. You'll lose a lot more in water weight though. If you're not sure how this works, here's an example:
My TDEE is 1533 and I net 1200 calories a day creating a deficit of 333 calories a day or 2331 calories a week for a total fat loss of .6 lbs. Mine is so slow because I only have 6 lbs. to lose. Even if you feel that your fat loss rate is still slow, don't worry. You'll lose a lot more in water weight.
Just stay strict by following MFP guidelines and you can do it! It will be worth it!!!0
