30 day shred

I AM DEFINITELY IN!! i am going to start tonight.

i have a question though. how many calories (approximate without a heart rate monitor) do people think that you burn during the workout?
i tried to find it under exercises, but there were no listings.

any ideas?

B :flowerforyou:

After a serious sugar binge yesterday, I still got up and did the shred this monring, first day on level 2 and I feel amazing! I burned 321 calories, and didn't modify as much as I did last time I had tried it (which was after being very inconsistant with level one.) My goal is to be able to do the whole video with no modifications...push ups I think will be the hardest, I can only do like 4 regular, on a good day! I haven't totally kept up in here but am glad to be a part as it subconsiously motivates me for sure, keep up the great work everyone!

Mind if I join? Started today - did this last summer for 8 days and then quit...wish I would have kept on it! Anyhow, here I am starting it again. Not looking forward to the soreness I know I will feel tomorrow when I wake up, but I'm sure it's worth it!

Welcome all you new people!! JOIN IN!! :drinker:

Have a great trip Jen!!

Still waiting to get the 30 Day Shred, I should have it before the 28th, so when I finally do get it I will be joining in more often.

I did it. Even while away, I got to do Jillian's workout. Day 12 today at Level 1. 12 days straight can't believe it. Got to do it early this morning in hotel room before going to The National Gallery which we walked around for 6 hours. It was lovely. Then finished the day at a Vietnamese Vegetarian Restaurant. It was lovely, but I was tired and so hungry and had no resistance left and over ate, way over ate. Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day.:glasses:

What size of hand weights do you gals recommend? I've been using 5 lbs.

I've been using 3 lbs. There are some moves that I could have done heavier, but the next size up that I have is 8lbs. Some of the moves are still a struggle for me even using 3 (shoulder raises are a killer for me).

Happy Shred Day (again, and again, and again) everyone!! :drinker:

Great job Jen!!! 6 hours of walking was sure to burn off a significant portion of those over-eaten cals!

irishgal... 5 lbs is excellent! Do what is comfortable, and move up if it's possible. Some of the moves, like the side lunges, I wouldn't attempt with more than 3 lbs in my case, cause they are hard on my neck. Proper form above all else!

Nicole... With the push ups, do what you feel you can do, and push it as much as you cal. Better to do several knee push ups good than even a few full push ups with bad form. For me, I think I can't progress to full push ups because of my wrist issues.

I skipped my workout yesterday. I was just in a funky mood all day. I wanted to eat everything, and I didn't want to work out at all. I've been kind of down because I lost 8 lbs. pretty easy, but pretty much since I started doing the 30 Day Shred, I haven't been losing weight. Actually my weight has just bounced around between the same 3 lbs. Then I took my measurements again yesterday and there was no change that I could see, so it just made me not want to try. Hopefully I can pick it back up this evening, and figure out why I'm not losing anything.

I've been using 3 lb. weights for most of the exercises (L2) and on the second circuit I pick up my 5 lb weights. I also still can't do regular push ups through the whole circuit on L1.

DAY 13 LEVEL 1... feeling good. So glad it doesn't take much space to do the exercise in and was able to do it in the hotel room. Not sure how it would have sounded in the room beneath us as I did my jumping jacks. Enjoyed our little holiday away but glad to be home and no more buying meals.
