30 day shred

She says do it 6 times a week and rest on one day. Yeah, you gotta do it to see results. Hopefully you won't stop aching but you will definitely get stronger and see results. I like the ache. It reminds me to go the next day.

Also watch the food intake too.

I'm fairly new here too but I've been doing the 30 DS and I'm on level 2 day 5. I remember one of the first days of the workout I was also barely able to walk I was so sore! Personally I think if you're that sore you should take a rest day. You don't have to do it every single day, take a rest day here and there as you need to. Let your body recover so you can be stronger and feel better for the next workout. I'm able to do Monday through Friday now and I rest on the weekends, so that's a big improvement for me compared to when I first started! I think I spent like three weeks on level 1. So yeah, go at your own pace...follow the girl in the video that's doing the easier version and before you know it you'll feel stronger and have more stamina. As for results I've definitely lost a few pounds and my clothes are starting to fit a little better. Hang in there and have fun with it!

Hi my name is Jessica Brown, 36 yrs old mom of two children and i decided to get my life in order especially with my weight and i also started the Jillian Michaels 30 day shed thing and in the beginning it was so hard but im tryin to stick with it cause im so busy with school and two jobs, im 4'11 and weighing 224 but you cant tell really but i can , so i made a promise to my kids to try to live healthy and lose this weight before 40 i really want to be back to a size 14 at least im in a 18 now without surgery i know i can do it

Oh--as for when you should see results--it depends on what you mean by results. I lost some inches from doing each of the 30 day sequences along with diet, but the best results to me were the strength and endurance gains. You will probably feel noticeably stronger by the end of week 2. It's awesome when you know you can get through an exercise that initially killed you or that you had to do a modified version of.

I've recently finished 30 Day Shred, and at the moment I'm mixing up various levels of 30 Day Shred with some of Ripped in 30 too - for some reason I just CAN'T get the hang of level 2 of Ripped!

Anyway, first time I did Shred, I was thinking to myself 'that can't have worked - I feel fine'. The next day my muscles were killing me, it was a struggle just to get up the stairs! After a couple of days though I got used to it and it was fine - I could 'feel' my muscles aching slightly if I was walking up lots of stairs, but it wasn't painful.

There's loads of debate about whether to have a day off or not - I personally had two days off over the course of the 30 days, because I really felt like I needed them. Just listen to what your body is telling you - you aren't going to lose any points if you really need to take a day off, providing that you don't fall off the wagon completely.

Best of luck with it - feel free to add me as a friend if you like :-)

Its so important to eat enough protein as well as a round diet. I always eat over my limit of protein and the log still says I will lose my desired weight. If you can find a good recovery drink that would be good for you too. I am doing Jillians ripped in 30. I just started monday. I was doing p90x but because I am breastfeeding it was just taking way too much outta me. I also have thyroid issues and was laid out for the rest of the day, The house was trashed and I was sick. But I can really kick butt on ripped in 30 with a month of p90x under my belt. Just remember you are experiencing a good pain. And it will pass. In order to be done with it you have to go through it. Be sure to get 8 hrs of ZZZ's as that is the only time when your body builds itself up. Another tip, after you workout your body will be absorbing nutrients best for up to an hour, so the best time to eat or have your recovery drink is post workout.

This advise is very useful! Thank you!

I started 30ds this week. I only do it three days per week since I also lift heavy weights and I need the rest. Seems like a good program so far. I was already quite conditioned when I started, so no muscle aches the next day.

I'm starting this tonight, so I really appreciate this thread and all the advice! Thanks, OP!
