    Question - I did my first day of 30DS today - now I have no idea how I should log it in my exercise? Cardio? Strength? How do you log it?

    I started logging it as Calisthenics under Cardio. But was browsing through the other 30 Day Shred threads and found most people were logging it as Circuit Training under Cardio. So I switched to that instead. :)

    I like the 30DS video too, I found that I also really like her metabolism boosting cardio video too! It really gets your heart going and you get the cardio you need (very important). great addition to the 30DS video and so you don't get too bored :) I can't imagine doing the same video for a month haha. Good luck all!

    End of Day 4 for most of us, ladies!!! Keep up the great work. This is officially the longest I have done the Shred in a row now, so I'm actually looking forward to what challenges Level 2 will bring! How is everyone else doing? Feeling stronger??

    i'm on L1D8 and i'm finding the Cardio much easier but I STILL cannot do push ups! Not even the girly half push ups. I have got a serious lack ocf strength in my arms! On the plus side i've lost 5lbs so far. This is the most i've exercised in years.

    I'm hanging in there! My ONLY problem is absolutely superficial... I'm a black woman and my hair is in SHAMBLES!!! I have naturally curly hair, and it is a major process to straighten it. **Sigh** the sacrifices we must make!

    I think Jillian said it best in Level 1 "Pain is weakness leaving the body." I love that quote.

    If you are working muscles that you have never worked before, you are going to be sore. However, make sure you are stretching properly before and after the workout. Everytime I get back into a workout routine I get super sore, but it gets easier. Honestly, every time a take a day to "rest" from the 30-day shred, I NEVER, EVER get back into the routine.

    I suggest that you continue on to Day 4 of Level 1, but do your own leg stretches before you start the DVD. If you can't go all the way down in your squat today, follow the girl on the right (I can't remember her name) and go half way. You can do this!!! :happy:

    What do you all think about my boyfriend doing the 30 day shred? Do you think the exercises are geared towards women? Or, will he also see results.

    I'm not gonna lie... I kind of don't want him to do it for jealousy reasons. The women working out with Jillian are pretty hot!!!!!:noway:

    I started the 30 day Shred on January 12 and would love to join you all :) I usually combine the dvd with either Jillian Michaels' yoga or her 6 week six pack abs.

    Hi! I just finished Day 3. I must say the 20 min are going by much faster than Day 1. My body aches for the rest of the day - but it is a good ache. Like someone else said, 'there is muscle underneath that fat'.
    I started the Couch to 5K last week, so I'm hoping the cardio will help the scale go down.
    I love this website - its a great tool for tracking calories and so easy to use.
