    I just listed it as high impact aerobics but i'm not sure if that's correct or not.

    i log zumba in as high impact aerobics but not sure abt 30ds

    Thank you :smile: That would make more sense, didn't think of that heh! Turns out I've burnt more than I thought then.

    just about to do day 4 and am going to have to put the dog in the kitchen as she is progressively getting more and more interested in my workouts! Abs are hard enough with out 10kg of dog on your chest! Feeling a bit sick as have eaten loads of chocolate today. Does anyone have any diet plans going alongside the shred? I think i need to get back on track with my eating next week or will not get good results. :sad:

    Hey everyone! Would love to join this group in the 30 day shred! Seems to be more interactive compared to another group I joined! I finished level 1 day 2 last night and am feeling it today! Holy cow my chest and arms are sore today!! I really, really want to get through all 30 days of the shred because it puts me at a finish date a day before my birthday! It will be my to-me, from-me gift to look and feel better!!

    I haven't taken my measurements, but plan on doing so tonight. I started at 143 pounds and very "soft". My end goal would be to see less back fat and a decrease in my love handles! As these have always been a problem spot for me. Jillian has definitely kicked my butt the past 2 nights and I feel so great about it!! I took before pictures in hopes that my after pictures really show some good results! I don't think I have ever worked out this hard in only 20 minutes. It has been over a year, almost 2, since I really worked out, so this is leaving me gasping for air and sweating up a storm. I love it!!

    Good luck to everyone! And I really hope this will be great motivation for myself and others!

    welcome, yes they do seem to be a good bunch in the group with lots of support :smile:

    I am on day 5 of L3 and let me tell you NOTHING has worked this great for my body in such a short time! All my Christmas pudge is gone. My belly is showing definition and so are my thighs. It's SUCH DARN hard work but soooo worth it! Hang in there those of you who have just started! I do it 6 days a week. Each time I start a new level I think..."I'll never be able to do THIS one". But you know what? You just somehow do it! I am always thinking "30 minutes, 30 minutes, 30 minutes" and next thing you know, you are in the zone and it's COOLDOWN time baby. I am going to buy Shred It with weights next I think! I swear I am sweating and grunting like a pig doing the 30 day shred with 5 lb hand weights, I can't imagine what it will be like with a kettlebell, lol.

    That's funny! My dogs get really excited when I start the video, they think that I want to play when I'm doing the cardio. When I'm doing abs, they think I want to wrestle or something. LOL.

    Just completed Day 4 of Level 1 :) I'm not annoyed with the video yet, which is great! I am still a bit sore especially on my shoulders and abs. Onto Day 5 tomorrow!

    Everyone's doing great so far, keep it up!

    I'm getting excited about starting shred! I just previewed Level 1, so I know what to expect. It looks very similar to one of my weight training classes I take at the gym, but at a faster pace. Basically 60 minutes put into 20 minutes. I won't be taking that class while I'm doing shred. Can't wait to get started! :)

    ok girls I have to come clean! I intended to do my shred last night but when I finally got all my stuff done it was 2030hrs and I was just knackered! SORRY!!! Have done it today and will go to the dreaded gym later aswell as the kids should be with their dad (hopefully). It was actually a lot easier today so maybe the rest day did me good?? Anyway, happy days to all who are on track
    L1D4 Done :smile:

    Day 5 tonight and it's getting so much easier! The first couple of days killed me, my thighs and calves and upper arms were SO sore! ... but I'm able to do each exercise properly now, although like the rest of you those side lunges with the arm raises are a shocker! Haha. I won't be able to do anything tomorrow as I'm way too busy with a surprise party but back on it for Day 6 on Sunday!

    Nice to see how everyone else is getting on! ... it's nearly time for our second lot of measurements, eek!

    Level 1 Day 5 complete! So the cardio is getting a lot easier...but those lunge...YUCK! And push-ups...I can't even do all of the modified ones...

    But I burnt 313 calories today...I'm much less sore now :-)

    Bring on Day 6!

    I have done it twice this week and am planning on one more this weekend. I'll jump on board with you! Are you thinking every day? I think I might die right now if I didn't have rest days, it's rough. Maybe next week I'll try 2 in a row and see how it goes....

    LV1D2 complete. My legs were so sore this morning, managed to power through though. I found the cardio particularly jumping jacks easier to do today. Hoping this soreness will settle down by the end of this week! Do you guys measure/weigh after each 10 days is complete or do you wait right until the 30 days?

    I think I may measure after each 10 day period...though most of the change comes during levels 2 and 3 apparently. I'm going to regard the measurements from the 30 days altogether most highly though. :-)

    L1D2 down!! I wasn't sure I was going to be able to walk today and am still struggling if I sit to long and then try to get up. My thighs and calves are screaming! I am going to do L1D3 tonight, but am not sure I can do it with same intensity. I can say that the video was a bit easier for me last night though. Can't wait to start seeing the results!!

    Also, my daily calorie limit is 1200 and with logging my exercise, I am struggling to reach that amount. I've heard you should not eat less than 1200 calories per day...do you think that will impede my weight loss?

    Just finished L1:D5! Decided to do it during my lunch break. It has been a hard week, so didn't want to leave anything to chance! I sneaked at Level 2&3... I'm intimidated, but excited for the challenge at the same time :) Hope everyone else is doing well!

    Hi Jordan! This is my first time doing the shred, so not sure what the results are going to be for me. From what I've read from other people on MFP and DVD review sites is that they've had great results from it. You can take it at your own pace and they show modifications for the moves, which makes it easier. It's a great workout from what I've seen so far :) You'll also find a bunch of message board threads on the shred, plenty of encouragement here!

    1. In a word: no. In a few more words: You can go at your own pace, but don't be scared to challenge yourself. Go that extra bit further that you thought you couldn't, you just might surprise yourself! There are modifications for the exercises, I do a few of them, for example, the push-ups.

    2. I think any form of exercise is worth it. I don't believe that exercise is only good if it leads to physical results. I have found that after 4 days, my concentration levels have increased and I feel more energetic, and I've NEVER exercised before. So, I definitely think it is worth it, and the physical changes I may benefit from will be an added bonus.

    3) Exercising is a way of burning calories and increasing muscle mass. By doing these two things, you should lose body fat. However, it does NOT mean you will consistently see the number on the scale go down. By exercising the muscles, you may retain water etc. some weeks. It's just something you need to keep at.

    4) Even though I've watched and completed the Level 1 workout 5 times now, I still feel like Jillian Michaels is encouraging me. She says the right things at the right moments; she knows when you are feeling it... it's a little eerie! So, I think you will feel encouraged, also 30 Day Shredders on this thread and on the whole of MFP will be here to give you advice and encouragement!

    I realllllllly enjoy 30 day shred. I look forward to doing it, which is strange! I highly recommend it and I've only been doing it for five days! Let us know what you decide to do!

    I did this with a friend of mine -- we broke it up by doing sessions one and two for one week each, then ended the final two weeks with the 3rd session. The first few days were a challenge but within a few days (4) it was better. Moreover, the 20 minutes moves by quickly. I lost only a few pounds but I definitely lost quite a lot of inches. So worth the 20 mins a day!!

    L1D5 done! had a peak at level 2 today and it looks like more fun so roll on day 10 as I am getting bored! I have also has a good jog today and kept busy rather than sitting around thinking about what I shouldn't be munching. Well done all, lets keep it going.

    Great Busy Girl! It is hard to sit around the house and not think about eating. I too completed L1D5 today. I was thinking of moving to level 2 soon also. Have a great day and look forward to checking in tomorrow.

    It's been a couple of days since I last updated. I missed Friday night (day 4) because I had an absolutely awful day at work and it just got to me. However, yesterday I did complete the workout, which I'll consider day 4. I also cleaned my house like crazy. Today I plan on doing the shred 2 times to get back to where I need to be, day 6. Also, since it's a pretty day I plan on washing my car with some serious effort as it hasn't seen suds since about September!! I'm disappointed I missed a day, but plan on fixing it!! Hope everyone is having a great weekend and is staying committed!!
