30 day shred starting jan 1--anyone in?

Just finished Day 3 Level 1!! So excited about staying committed to this!! Can't wait to see the results!! My legs are extremely sore still but I know I have to work through it....speaking of work, gotta go get ready lol

Good Luck today everyone!!

Was challenged to burn some extra calories....so I did my usual shred level one (my 5th day in a row) then to get my extra burn decided to see what level 2 was all about.....WOW. I hope I did get my extra burn in, cuz i really felt it for sure!!! I did a lot of looking at the tv and going you want me to what?!?!?!? And I thought the push ups were bad, YIKES! I am now very excited to stay on level 1 for the next 5 days preparing myself for level 2!

YEAH I did it today!!:drinker: It felt good to finally get "day 2" only 5 day's after "day 1" LOL!!! :laugh: I said yesterday I was going to do it and I did. So, I plan to do it tomorrow as well. I also did some Wii Fit Plus. It's been a good day.:happy:

Gee I guess tomorrow is actually 'day 2" not "day 3" he he he!!!

day 2 level 1 . it was a harder today since my body is still sore from yesterday. just when I'm about to give up Jillian says something to motivate me to change my mind

Good Morning Shredders,:flowerforyou:

Well, this morning was my first weigh in since starting the Shred Jan 2nd.:ohwell:

I am PUMPED!:drinker:

I braced myself that I may not have lost any weight yet. :blushing:

I slowly stepped on my scale:ohwell:

Watched the digital numbers as my weight was being calculated:huh:

Then I saw it:

I stared at the scale for a moment before the number registered in my still sleepy head:yawn:

The scale was telling me that I have dropped 3 lbs since January 2nd:bigsmile:

Oh Jillian, in the moment you're a little devil:devil:

but right now you're an angel

My treat this week will be an appointment with a hairdresser:bigsmile:

A cut and color

My treat:flowerforyou:

Something to make me feel "pretty":blushing:

Hope all my fellow Shredders have a great day today!:flowerforyou:

Just finished day 5, level 1 YAYYYY that's officially the LONGEST i've stuck to it without taking a break, can't wait to get to day 30 and see the results!!!

I have been logging the Shred (Level 1) under General aerobics (20 minutes) about 140ish calories, does anyone else do this?

I have been putting it under circuit training for 25 minutes...it says i burn about 290 calories....which seems about right for my weight/height etc....

I have seen a lot of people talking about getting the HRM(Heart Rate Monitor) that tells how many calories you are burning. I would suggest that if you want to make sure you are burning/logging the right amount.

Hope this helps a little and congrats on sticking with it!!!

Day 4 Level 1 FInished!!

l1d6 done. took yesterday off and my legs were so heavy today.

I log it as circuit training as well

day 3, level 1 it's starting to get easier but still rough

Just finished day 5, level 1 YAYYYY that's officially the LONGEST i've stuck to it without taking a break, can't wait to get to day 30 and see the results!!!

I have been logging the Shred (Level 1) under General aerobics (20 minutes) about 140ish calories, does anyone else do this?

I've been using my heart rate monitor to figure out my calorie burn. Sadly, I was cheap when buying my HRM... so I use this equation to help supplement:

Using VO2max
Men: C/min = (-59.3954 + (-36.3781 + 0.271 x age + 0.394 x weight + 0.404 x VO2max + 0.634 x HR))/4.184
Women: C/min = (-59.3954 + (0.274 x age + 0.103 x weight + 0.380 x VO2max + 0.450 x HR)) / 4.184

Without VO2max
Men: C/min = (-55.0969 + 0.6309 x HR + 0.1988 x weight + 0.2017 x age) / 4.184
Women: C/min = (-20.4022 + 0.4472 x HR - 0.1263 x weight + 0.074 x age) / 4.184
weight is in kg

Seems to be fairly accurate when used with other exercises. Normally, I'm around 300 calories. Then again... my heart rate goes CRAZY during the workout... :laugh:

Day 7 done! Still with level one! Still don't feel a difference with my cardio endurance. Strength seems to be going much better though. Still taking breaks to make sure I don't push my lungs too much... but DID notice all the breaks I took today was because I was feeling out of breath instead of muscles yelling at me.

Good Morning Shredders,:flowerforyou:

Just finished L1, D8. Wow, I can't believe that I've been doing this steady for 8 days now. :bigsmile:

I noticed yesterday and today that my strength is much better. Up until then while doing the 2nd set of anterior raises, I was slowing down a bit and Anita and Natalie were getting a side lunge ahead of me. But yesterday and today, I completely kept up. I'm feeling it, believe me. But, I am keeping up to the girls and this makes me very happy.:happy:

I have also noticed that when I'm doing certain moves, especially the ones where you twist your torso, like the punches, bicycle and even the side lunges (because I'm shifting my weight), I can feel the muscles on the sides of my abdomen working.

What a great feeling to know that I'm working out again. I also feel like I have more energy now.

Have a great day Shredding everyone!:drinker:

I'm still on track -- day 7 yesterday, scheduled to do day 8 tonight. I'm happy -- no, thrilled -- to report I've lost 5lbs since I started last week. I track it as circuit training too.

I hope everyone here sticks with it!

Hi! I just heard about this website now. How is the 30day shred going? Is it worth a purchase?

linzbclark - DEFINITELY worth the purchase!

If you haven't tried it yet but need to loose some weight then I highly recommend buying the dvd.

If you're familiar with Jillian Michael's then you already know that she delivers when it comes to getting in shape.

Good luck with what ever choice you make as long as you simply get active.

Yippie!! Day 3 (actually 2 days in row complete). It felt so good today to exercise. I plan to continue tomorrow as well. Hope everyone has had a great day.

wow after an unexpected visit to my moms, spending over 8 hours in a car in less than 24 hours....I DIDN'T miss my shred! But man oh man did I not want to do it when we got home at 10pm tonight! I just didn't let me have a choice! 7 days strait, getting strong!
