    My wife called me today and wanted to pick this dvd up at Sam's Club. I need to know what exactly is on this dvd? I mean is it like a boot camp style workout with lots of crunches/push-ups? Or more cardio? What exactly can I expect and how hard will this kick my butt?

    People with experience please tell me!!!

    I don't know if it is considered "boot camp".. But it kicks your butt!!! There are crunches and push ups involved.. and jumping jacks and jump rope.. You do 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs.. I am definitely working up a sweat and huffing and puffing!! Hope this helps

    How much room do you need to do the workout? Our main TV is in a room that is pretty narrow :-(.
  • Not much at all... The length of your body maybe
  • thanks teran and level 2 is not a pleasant experience hahaha but im gonna push through it even thought i just started my damn period :( anyone else in the same boat as me? on a scale 1-10 how much worse is it working out when its that time of the month. well i will find out this afternoon.

    and everyone is doing awesome looks like everyones scale is going down! that always cheers up my day!.... i find my self stepping on the scale like twice a day thats a habit i REALLY REALLY need to break! but the numbers keep getting smaller and smaller so im not complaining at the moment. well good luck everyone and keep it up i want all of us to finish this.

    me and my friend just started this 3 days ago. were both sore (her a lil more being i tried it out last week but only did it 2 days and then forgot the rest of the week) but we are now doing this everyday together (texting that were starting at this time today or coming over to do it together at one house or the other) but she has 30lbs to lose where as i have 70+ so im also doing another exercise everyday too, i have the cardio max (biggest loser) video and the your shape game for the xbox kinect too. but man this is tiring and im trying to get my diet figured out too =p im only havng diner as a full meal otherwise im doing small meals and snacks. im about to try the slimfast 3 2 1 plan and cut out all meat other that fish or chicken and do all low carb. my family is all over weight but im the tallest female and now weight more then everyone in my "BIG" family. and i live in charleston sc now (moved away from family and friends from il/ia border) so i need to get in beach body shape because ive lived here 2+ yrs and still havent wanted to deal much with the beach because of my weight and i have 2 lil ones (3yrs and 10 mons) so this yr is the yr im hitting up the beach as much as posible. =) BRING IT ON JILLIAN (AND BOB)!!!!!
  • I just got the DVD in the mail and started today....I'm still panting! Up to this point I have just been changing my eating habits.
    Does anyone know how to put the calories burned for Week 1 shred?

    SW - 216.4
    CW - 205.2
    GW - 170 or lower ;0)

    Long term goal...to look good in pictures for both my kids weddings later this year(Sept)
  • I forgot to log in and give my weight on Monday... have been slacking a bit on the DVD and the eating right... getting back into the swing of things again..

    Weight was 167... :-(

    I've been doing the 30 day shred for about 10 days now, and I don't think I'm ready to move on to level 2 yet. I'm still struggling :noway: :noway: But I am determined to get there even if I have to spend a few more days pushing through level 1 :wink:
  • Ugh!!! I'm so far behind!!! I was snowed in at work from Tuesday until yesterday!!!! Not fun!!!!! I amazingly did pretty good on my eating... Yogurt and fresh fruit for breakfast... Veggies for dinner one night... I was super proud of myself after day 2 of being there... I had said screw it and that I was gonna eat whatever I wanted!!! Mexican food bar was open and I told myself I was getting nachos with everything!!!! Bit when I ordered... The words no chips, chicken, black beans, lettuce, and tomato came out of my mouth!!!!

    I blew it yesterday tho... After everything started thawing and the roads were better.. I took my family out to eat to Golden corral!
    Didn't go crazy... And had frozen yogurt for dessert... But still ate stuff I normally wouldnt... Thought I would feel bad about it... But after working non stop around the clock.. I felt I desereved it!!

    On a much happier note.. When I got home from the hospital yesterday, I took a shower in my own shower... And as I raised my leg to shave... I noticed something on my leg... Upon closer inspection... It was a defining calf muscle!!!!! Hadn't seen that before... I was so excited I started screaming for my hubby to come look... Then I noticed a small bump on my arm... What was it you ask?? I bicep starting to define itself!!!!! I'm super stoked!!!!! :-)
  • I started 30 day shred on the 7th. and guess what, I got on the scale this morning and I have gained two pounds, I'm so lost at this point. I've done everything right this week. I'm becoming really depressed not seeing a consistent number go down on my scale. Every time I THINK I may have finally lost a pound or two-its right back on the scale a few days later.
    I feel I could stand to lose more weight, I'm 153 and 5'4"....I'd like to be 130-140 but I haven't lost any weight in going on 8 weeks. I'm feeling like maybe its just not possible.

    Ok, I'm done whining:-)....I'm enjoying the shred workout! I have a hard time with push ups but I love using weights and I DO see a change in my arms and thighs. I hope I am ready to move up to level 2...

    I don't have 30 day shred but I do have Shred it. Any idea how to work this similarly to the 30 day Shred? Just 15 days at each level? Today was my 1st day and I got through 15 minutes so I'm pretty proud of that accomplishment.

    krisvtx8777: This program builds muscle, which weighs more. But, once you have muscle, you will start burning calories way faster. It's a good tradeoff. Just takes a little time. :)
  • i hope everyone didnt quit on this :( i feel like im talking to no one
    today will be our 4th? weigh in? i think
    anyway todays weight im at 153.4 so im still going down i hope every one else are seeing good results too
    oh and today will be my last day on level 2 tomorrow i start level 3!
  • Target or Walmart has the DVD... $9.00....Good LUCK!

    Hopefully this thread will continue. I just got the DVD and have done the workout 4 or 5 times, but only 2 days consecutively, so my goal is 10 days solid. I don't know if I will be able to move up after 10 days....it might be a 50 day Shred for me. LOL
  • haha alanamorales what i do is count "10 workouts" not days im starting level 3 tomorrow and have missed 3 days total. so when i miss i day i just push back my due dates like "instead of starting levell 2 on this day i need to start it on the day after" that way no matter what i know i did 10 workouts of lvl 1, 10 workouts on lvl 2 and will do 10 workouts on lvl 3.... if i dont die first lol but def just push through it i honestly thought level 2 was more bearable then level 1
  • My life has been abosolutely chaotic... A patient's family stole my phone.. and my new phone's MFP app doesn't show my news feed or anything.. UGH!! Babies have been sick.. I haven't worked out near as much as I want to... :(

    I did weigh in at 177... Only down 0.6. But I have been eating out almost every day.. And not healthy choices either.. Last week and a half have been bad for me..

    I did the first day of week one of C25K today and thought I was going to die!!! I'm gonna try and catch up on the weights.. although it looks like there is only a couple of us left!!!

  • Sadly no.. I have also had quite a stressful depressing few weeks and i gave up on all of my own personal goals.. I am getting back into the swing of things and i plan on starting over the 30 day shred and keeping a little diary of my own.. I appologize for being such a slacker. Good Luck everyone!

  • Girl don't feel bad... I have been having a hard time keeping my head in the game!!!e Especially when it comes to exercising... Started Level 3 today... Only to have to stop 7 minutes into it with an excruciating headache.. had to lay down for 20 minutes to get it to ease.. And then it was time to go to work.. Night shift can reek havoc on one's attempt at diet and exercise!!!

    Hello ladies. I'm sorry I haven't been able to chat lately. I got swamped with school work but I still managed to workout and do the dvd. I didn't want to get on the scale last monday (TMO). I now weight 127 even.
