30 day shred

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!

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?

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! I have the 30 Day Shred and I have a couple of questions.

1. Am I gonna die (lol)

2. Is it worth it

3. Will it help me meet my goal of 30 lbs down by May 1st.

4. Will I feel encouraged

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 ordered my copy last week and STILL don't have it....UGH! I'm not feeling so good anyways so maybe I'll get it tomorrow and can start next Monday (a week later than planned)...I have been working with Gilad and doing A LOT of crunches....my burried abs HURT..>LOL Good job to all doing the Shread!

Day 3 for me today. I was not happy last night....But I pulled through. All those husbands out there who think its easy....Put your money where your mouth is....

Great sense of accomplishment when you finish and stretch out. Havent found anything girlie about this yet but if I do Ill keep you posted.

Just finished L1:D6 4 more days till level 2!
