L1D3 and I still don't like her any better than the first day. I found today to be a little easier than the first two days. I actually went down further on my push-ups than before. That was a good feeling. One of these days I will be able to do "regular" push-ups instead of on my knees. Soreness isn't too bad today. Thank goodness because I was beginning to sound like I was 80 years old when I would stand up from a chair. :laugh:
LOL Me too!! There were times I would grunt trying to get out of my recliner!! Haha!!0 -
L1D4 done! I don't know if I will do another round today. I feel great!
I recommitted myself to watching my food choices and maintaining a regular exercise schedule. Over the past week, the only inches I've lost have been my thighs - 1 inch each. I don't get it. I'm getting on the scale this evening only to keep my records consistent. Hopoefully next week will yield a little bit more results.
I am super jazzed that I am able to do all of the cardio. I've modified the push-ups to 30 seconds full forearm planks. Completely straight body from ankles to top of head is killer for 30 seconds but I NEED to the core work.
Take care all!0 -
L1D4 done. My legs were killing me in the workout today.0

Done with L1 Day 4! I'm getting better with the push-ups! :happy: I actually did all of them for the first set and about half of the second set. This is huge for me b/c push-ups have always been hard for me. Definitely noticing an improvement in my endurance already.
As for the soreness, I'm feeling better today. My quads and calves are still a little sore but my chest and shoulders feel fine.
Can't wait to see if there's a change in my measurements. I don't want to look until I've been at it for at least a week, though.
Keep it up, everyone!!0 -
L1D6 DONE!
Once again, I had to push myself to do it.0 -
Level 1 day 4.....DONE!!! Middle cardio is still tough for me.....but soreness is not as bad0
-
L1D4 done! I did L1D3 twice yesterday because my friends wanted to do it, too (of course after I'd already done it!). Even with 2 rounds of torture yesterday, I had a lot less soreness today. I can't wait to see me on day 30!
And I've gained weight too. It's discouraging, but I've stuck to my calories, so I know it's not actual weight gain. I'll take it if it means I'm getting buff!!!! :bigsmile:0 -
I saw this post and it reinspired me!! Last yr the 30DS inspired me to start my weightloss and it motivated me to venture out into jogging and using Jillian Michaels otheres dvds which are longer in killer as well. Now its been a yr i have kept the weight off but i think i can tone up n lose a little more so im back to start the shred again. Day 1 was yesterday be doing it tonight and continue on w u guys. I need my mojo back its been a few weeks since ive been consistant w working out. Have done a jog here n a workout there n im not liking it. when i started last yr i was determined and i want to feel like that again. its cold outside so jogging has been at a hault. on to day 2 today!! 28 more days to go lol0
-
I love this group! I'm maintaining my weight as well
I weighed myself this morning and havn't moved a pound!! Atleast there was no gain, but still. After working out so hard and following my food plan, I should see something. Thank goodness some of you were explaining why it's happening to most of us! Yay, not alone and frustrated
Off to do Day 4!0 -
Lvl 1 Day 4 done I've been wearing my HRM and noticed that today my max hr and avg hr was up! I think it was because I was able to get through the first cardio session (jumping jacks, jump rope, jumping jacks, jump rope) without stopping this time Huge success for today!
Way to go everyone who did a Shred workout today! 0 -
Finished L1D4. Am I the only one who feels weaker every day?! Man, the abs and lunges are getting easier but everything else is super hard! I finished and I'm proud of myself but only 4 days in and I cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Tomorrow is Friday and I know I'll do just fine then because it's the weekend!0 -
Just finished Day 4! Is anyone else hating the jumping jacks and side lunges with anterior raises! They are killing me! I do like the butt kicks and punching, though. I'm glad to see that others are hanging in there, though!0

Ok... I just replied to a very old thread about this subject but you all are my 30DS family for the next 26 days so I will pose to you... I have three kids (17, 9, 7), two which were fairly large. I think that has led to slight stress incontinence during the jumping jacks. No other movement does it to me (at least during the workout).
What is is about this move that has what I thought was my already empty bladder losing control? Any thoughts on replacement move?
I LOVE this workout and am really into it. I've found myself neglecting my water intake just to try to avoid this from occuring.

I know friends that are runners who have the same problem, I have a hard time running for the same reason. What they have told me to try to running with a pad (I even had a woman tell me she wears depends when she runs). I haven't had any issues with this workout and honestly haven't been in good enough shape to run for alot of years but I am confident using a pad when working out may make you more comfortable. Hope you find something that works for you.
BTW, you need your water, if you workout early in the day maybe try drinking it after your workout, if you workout at night try trying it in the first half of your day. 0 -

I AM!! Lol...especially the side lunges with a shoulder raise. But I'm hanging in there! Completed L1D4 today!0 -
L1D4 complete. Had the best workout....what who said that???? lol Really....it wasnt nearly as bad today! Keep up the good work everyone!!0
-
Day 4 ...DONE!! I feel very happy and proud...
Let's keep it up friends... "we are well on our way of being SHREDDED!!" 0 -
L1d4 done. I can definitely yell my endurance is better. I'm able to do the entire cardiac circuit on the last,round. My muscles are less sore now. I even commented to my husband that the workout almost feels good now! When are you guys switching to level 2??0
-
Day 4 DONE! This has been the hardest day for me so far. My legs haven't been particularly sore the past few days, but for some reason today they felt like jello.0

I did not get a chance to do it yesterday but I did knock it out this morning. Felt good to have "me" time even though my 3 year-old joined in every now & then. He was so proud of himself!
Couple of questions:
When are you supposed to move on to L2, or when do *you* plan to?
Are you supposed to get through all 3 levels during the 30 days?
I had a couple more but now I forgot them... I'm sure they will come up again.0 -

I'm planning on staying on L1 for 10 days. I think you're supposed to stay at each level for 10 days. However, if you feel like you're ready for more of a challenge, then there probably isnt' anything wrong with moving on to L2 in less than 10. I'm stll doing modified push-ups in L1 and feel like I need to build up a little more endurance so I'm staying for the 10 days.
I've also read that Jillian suggests going through all 3 Levels in 30 consecutive days, 10 days per level. However, again, it depends on the individual. I haven't felt like I need a rest day yet, but when I get to Level 2, I'm sure I'm going to need a few! :laugh:0 -
I'm going to go easy on myself and let Level 1 have 10 days even though I feel ready to move on. The good thing is that the exercises I *hated* I hate much less as each day goes by, and it seems to take even less time to complete each day!0

Finished L1D5 this mornig. With a few interruptions which made me start the darn thing over, I survived another round. :laugh: I am really finding it hard to do the floor work because my dogs think it's time to plan or my 13 month old decides to use mommy as a mountain to climb. But if that is the worst of my problems, I think I am doing pretty good. Still don't like Jillian, but moves are going much better. Soreness is gone and I don't sound like an 80 year old when I stand up. :bigsmile:0
-
L1D4 done today, finding i'm managing everything apart from the push ups, I can't even do the girly half push ups properly. I must have literally no strength in my upper body!0
-
L1Day 5 done! Woohoo!!! Still doing the modified push-ups. I'm definitely lacking in upper body strength. I've improved, though! (Finally managing to do all the reps of push-ups!) Soreness is pretty much gone except for renewed soreness in my biceps. I had been using 3 pound weights for the first 3 days but increased to 5 pounds yesterday. Those 2 additional pounds apparently make a big difference to my wimpy arms. :laugh: Still, legs are feeling tons better!
Keep up the awesome work, everyone! We're going to see this out to Day 30! :happy:0 -

@ mnheather
Omg...I have the same problem with my dog. Soon as I get on the floor she jumps on my chest and starts giving me dogging kisses! When I make her move she focus in on my hands and starts attacking them! Most of the time I try to ignore her and keep going but I can't help but laugh at her.0 -
Day 4 done0
-
Alright- finished L1D5! Feeling much better about it today. I almost felt like I could do it twice today- but I just did more cardio instead. Happy Friday everyone! 0
-
Finished Day 4 yesterday before going out for a night of league pool. I had so much energy and didn't feel drained like I used to at the end of the day. I used to have to drink a NOS energy drink or I would get so sleepy and grumpy. I love this new found energy!! About to do L1D5 and can't wait! I don't ever want to go back to being sleepy all day again!0
-
L1day 5 done! I really wasn't motivated to work out today, but I knew I had others pushing for it on this thread. So, i did it!0
