30 day shred - just started!

Hi Tulipz.

Is this Jillian Michael's 30 day shred?! If so, I just bought the DVD and will also be starting today.

It was recommended by a work colleague who couldn't manage all the exercises at first but slowly felt herself become fitter and managed to complete them everyday! Seeing results from somebody is motivating and will hopefully keep me going.

I look forward to starting this and seeing how much I can manage hehe!

I did not have good luck with it, not good for folks with bad backs and knees!

My first few days through it, I could hardly walk. Now, I'm in level 3, and it's still hard, but I'm doing it! The impossible soreness *does* go away. The important thing is not to give up!

Yes! When I finished my first day, I could barely walk down the stairs my legs were so wobbly. I thought I was going to die from lactic acid buildup those first few days, but it got better and I got fitter. Loved the Shred. It's been almost a year; I think I need to do another round soon. Have fun!

30 day shred? Is it a workout program like insanity? If so It's just like H.I.I.T. depending on your body fat percentage it will not get you shredded in 30 days FYI. But Keep pushing cause o have no idea Where your body fat percentage is at now and have no clue on your nutrition plan consumption throughout the day. Consistency is key. Remember that and you will get your shred on!

I have just started that myself as well. I did day 1 a couple days ago and I've been so sore that I had to take 2 days rest. I'm going to go for day 2 tomorrow and push myself through it.

I started a couple weeks back... got through 4 days. The first three days I was so very sore in my arms and legs I could hardly move and had to force myself to do day 4. Then I went out of town for a week and I fell off the wagon.

I restarted it this week, but I have decided to switch to doing it every other day instead of daily because for whatever reason (jumping jacks? butt kicks? jump roping?) my knees are hurting a lot. On the off days I've been doing lower intensity cardio (elliptical) to reduce the impact on my knees, but still keep active.

I am really hoping to see some results from this. I've been working out hard for nearly four months and tracking my food intake for over a month and I've only lost 5-7 pounds. I have lost 10" total in the various areas of my body, most notably 4 inches from my waist and 3 inches from my hips, but that darn scale just won't budge and it's very discouraging.

Hi I started on the 1st so i'm just starting on level 2. my legs were a little sore in the beginning from the lunges. I'm just coming off 4 months of Insanity and oddly enough they don't really do a lot of lunges- just a lot of squats. It's a nice change of pace and I enjoy it. keep going strong and do the modified version as long as you need. you've taken the step to be active so you will get there- even the push-ups. :-) Good Luck.

Yesterday was day 6 of Level 2 for me and the first day I did not take a 5 second pause during any of the exercises to catch my breath. I was so proud of myself. Its something I really needed since I took Sunday and Monday off (longest work out break I've taken since I started working out) to be out of town for a funeral. It was just so easy to not work out and eat whatever those days (I didn't go ape s*** but I didn't log what I ate either so I have no idea on my calories) and I kind of lost my motivation those two days. But I think I have it back now after my first no break day on level 2.

Feel Free to add me. I am starting tomorrow and hoping I can get trough the entire time.
