Im starting this again tonight. I've never done level 2 because I can't plank!!! I only plan on doing this once or twice a week because Im also doing C25k 3 times a week and swimming twice.
I'll let you all know how I do!
P.S what size of hand weights do you all use?
Right now I use 2# weights for the overheads and 3# for the rest. My arms are weak. My daughter uses 3#s for the overheads and 5# the rest.0 -
This is my second time for 30day shred. I started in April the first time and finished it in May. I took rest days when I needed it.
I was too scared of the scale back then to weigh in but I lost inches and people commented on my losing weight. I tried some other workouts after such as Burn Fat Boost Metabolism and although I liked it, it is twice as long and my endurance level isn't there yet.
I started up on 30 day shred again about 2 weeks ago also doing dumbbell weight training every other day. I took two rest days for level 1 and will probably do the same throughout.
One thing I have noticed that it is easier to do the moves this time because my stomach is smaller. I still sweat alot though.
In April I used 3 and 5 lb weights, this time I am using 5 and mostly 8 lbs.
I tried to do some of Ripped in 30 last month but the moves seem to require more coordination which I don't have yet.
Good luck everyone.0 -
I will be starting Level 3 in 2 days. I am looking forward to being done with all the planks. I do like the fact that I am starting to see some definition in my arms and legs. I might try one of Jillian's longer videos when I am done with the Shred. I cannot exercise outside when it is this hot so these videos are great.0

I wanted to jump into this thread - I just finished level 1, day seven
I don't feel like I'm dying anymore! I am resolutely not weighing or measuring until I finish the level, but I feel good that I am sticking to it. I am using six pound hand weights, since they're all I have in the house. Here's to hoping for results! 0 -
Just finished day 2 of level one. Found it more difficult today than I did yesterday. Using 1.13kg dumbells. Really struggle to do the push ups at the beginning, I don't know whether I just don't have the strength in my arms, but I can't even do the easy version!
Hoping to stick with this though and also do running at the weekend. 28 days to go! 0 -
I had attempted to do it about a month ago but gave up. I have started it again with day 1 of level 1 today and hope to make it through the whole 30 days. After reading about the results that you can get from doing this workout, I am more than excited to finish it and see what results I get!0
-
I'm thinking of taking a different approach! I've probably done level 1 about 12 times so far, spread out over the last month, consecutively in the past three days. I feel like I want to do it for one more week before advancing so that I feel more comfortable with all the movements (not at all comfortable enough, I STILL SWEAT A TON AND GET EXHAUSTED AT THE END!) but my plan is to do each level until I feel like I've "mastered" it, whatever that means.0

I had a hard time with the push ups in Level 1 as well. By the end of Level 1 I was able to do the modified version for the whole time. I still can only do a few actual push ups though. Keep up the good work. I personally believe it gets easier as the days go on.0
-
Today is my last day of level one. Still can't do a regular push up, but am doing great on the modified. My arms are weak and need a lot of work. Yesterday I used 5# weights on all but the overheads and I used 3s on those. The lifts with anterior lunges were hard but I made it. I am especially proud I was able to do ALL of the last ab exercise (the bicycle one).
I am dreading level 2. I don't even know what a plank is.
By the way, I will be 60 in November and have had two ruptured lumbar discs. If I can do this anyone can. I do have to modify the impact moves (jumping jacks jump rope and butt kicks) but that is ok.0 -
Day 3 of level one completed. Found it tiring, but managed it. 27 days to go. Managed a couple of push ups...I always end up flat on the floor though having given up haha! Well done to everyone else who is doing this - it is tough, but it will be worth it in the end.. 0
-
So I have this program on my computer but I'm not sure how many days I do each leve for or how heavy weights I should be useing? Anyone have that info for me?0
-
I think that it's generally ten days per level. Not sure what weights other people are using but I'm switching between 0.68kg and 1kg depending on how tired I am! Good luck. 0

That's fantastic! I'm almost half your age and I found it hard :-D I think even if you stay on one level for longer or just stick to the modified versions, you'll still doing a great job. I found the programme great for back problems.
No excuses 0 -
First day of Level 2. I feel SO uncoordinated! I kind of felt like I wasn't doing anything but I was sweating like a pig way more than I did in Level 1. Had to go back down to 3s. Hope I can master this in 10 days!0

I have 4 days left of the shred after today. (Will do the workout after I post this). I honestly HATE Level 3. I much prefer level 2.0

I have started doing BFBM and NMTZ on alternating days with the Shred. I feel like I am getting a better workout this way.0

A little bit. I don't have good before photos of when I started. I do have photos from Jan. 1st. Comparing them to now, I am seeing a difference. ( I did no workouts before )0 -
L1D4 for me today, I'm liking it so far although feeling a little sore. Most of the appeal is how quickly it's over and done with tbh :bigsmile: . Full 45 minutes of circuit training no thank you.0

Typically, it's 10 days per level.
The way I'm doing it is 10 days per level, but with a cardio day & a rest day per week. Yes, it takes longer, but rest is important!
As for the weights, use whatever you're comfortable with! I use 3lbs, some people use 5 lbs, some use 2 lbs. Some people change which weight they use for the particular move.0 -
To day was day 9 for me. I blog with pictures everyday about it on my blog www.cybernet00.com
I also do post results every 5 days. My first results are really good. Looking forward to level 2 on Sunday.0 -
I love the day to day pictures cybernet00. 0

I made it to day 3 of level 3, but decided to switch it up. 20 minutes is not enough for me, so I was also walking 3-4 miles a day right after doing the shred. I saw zero results in my measurements, weight, or photos. Very discouraging.
I am more buff, but in a "relaxed" stance, you cannot see that my arms are almost cut, and my thighs are almost rock hard.
I was disappointed that i did not lose any weight, but I am a lot stronger with a lot more endurance. Now I'm working on killer buns and thighs, because Shred level 3 focused too much on the plyometrics, adn I really didn't want bigger leg muscles than I already have. I just want more tone. So far, I think KB&T will do it because I can really feel it. I'm still doing extra-this week was bicycling.0 -

Is it as much as you expected I am on day 10 done 3 days on level 1 as done it on and off for a month before and then went to level 2 and I am on day 7 on level 2 (plan to stay on level 2&3 a bit longer than 10 days to make up my full 30 days if that makes sense) and wondered when I would start to notice a change lol0 -

It's not as much as I expected, but I didn't eat well for the start of it. I still ate a lot of crap (Chocolate especially) it was crazy!0 -
I don't expect a 20 minute exercise for 30 days is going to take off a whole lot more weight, at most a pound or 2. I can already see extra stamina after 12 days and feel stronger, especially in my arms. Level 2 is killing me. After 2 days I can't do all the moves, but I am sweating way more.0

Ok cool, I haven't done it for two days now as have been really tired (kids up all night) and been so busy I can't fit it in but am cracking back on with it tomorrow hopefully the days off won't make a difference to my end result ????0 -
Day 3 yesterday of level 2. Am improving. I could do 6 arm lift/kicks before having to get my balance. On day 1 I couldn't even do 10
