Who wants to start Jillians 30 Day Shred with me?

I want to join in too...I dont have the DVD but I have the list of exercises and I watched them on you tube...I tried it on Friday and I only did 10 minutes, the jumping jacks had me floored.. I have DDs so I guess it was like weighted jacks lo...so I decided to try again today but this time I will substitute the warm up jacks with walk/jog on the spot, I also do wall push ups....hopefully I'll be able to work my way up to doing everything
I also plan on still doing zumba along with the Shred ...I might do the 20 min as a warm up

So todays measurements are:

Weight: 178lbs
Height: 5' 5"

Arms: 12.5"
Bust: 41"
Waist: 34"
Belly: 37"
Hips: 43"
Thigh: 25"

I should be getting the DVD in today or tomorrow, I"d love to join the group!! I'll put in my measurements when I get home tonight!

I would so love to join you all. My sis and I ordered our copies last week so I am hoping mine has come in today! I am super excited to get going with this. I have lost 43 pounds so far and really starting to look a little flabby so I am really hoping that this will help me firm up!!

I would like to join in also. I did the Shred before and really like it. I didn't do it 30 consecutive days though and I have been thinking about doing that, so this group will hold me accountable. Good luck everybody! I'd like to lose at least 10 lbs by the end of the 30 days.

Ok.

I'm just using the measurements here of neck, waist, hips.

Neck: 13
Waist: 31
Hips: 40.5

Now off to do the video.

I got about 30 minutes of circuit and walking in earlier today before I decided to hop on board. I'll probably do some circuit every day with this because, even though I was sweating/falling over/etc it's still only about 20 minutes of actual "workout". If I were working full time and didn't have the time I wouldn't push it. But I do, so I am. :-/

day 2 down....

i did the first 15 minutes of the biggest loser cardio max before i realized that my body may not be used to so much cardio doing the cardio max AND the 30 day shred so i shut it off and popped in the 30 day shred. WOW. that 15 mins of extra cardio plus the 30DS.... holy.... lol. my face was beet red! haha. all in all a very good work out but boy am i pooped! i think i may try to do cardio max after 30DS instead of before tomorrow? ...we'll see how it pans out. are you guys doing any extra cardio in conjunction with 30DS? do you usually do it before, after, or take a break? thanks! :happy:

I'm going to do extra cardio...20 - 30 minutes and will definitely do it after the 30DS as I usually run and find that much more "relaxing" and more of a reward for doing the 30DS. I'm aiming for doing the 30DS every day and extra cardio 5 times/week.

First day down! Not as bad as I thought......I'm still breathing=0) Legs do feel quite rubbery(?) though. I really hope I'm not too sore tomorrow. I will still be doing 2 miles per day with indoor walking DVD's also. So want to make the whole 30 days and see some good results!

Starting measurements:

Bust: 40.5
Waist: 34.5
Hips: 43
Arms: 12.5
Things: 25.5

Only 29 more to go? this should be easy! (I am being VERY sarcastic!)

I LOVE YOUR SARCASM!!! See if you can pick up on mine.....

Wow, I've never felt better than running two and a half miles and then deciding to do day one of the 30 day shred at 9:30 at night!

Yup, sarcasm! Gotta love it! Well, if anything, I'm hoping to love the results :-) I do feel good, but I did feel like laying down on the couch while watching the DVD as opposed to actually moving along with it. I'm glad I stuck with it.

I also took my measurements tonight. I don't own a flexible tape measure so I used a cord and lined it up against a regular old metal tape measure. So I'm not sure of the acuracy of my measurements, but I figure if I measure myself again in 30 days the same way, at least then I should see the numbers consistently.

Bust - 43.5
Chest - 38.5
Waist - 34.25
Navel - 38.5
Hips - 46 (eek)
Thighs - 25.5
Arms - 15.5

If pain is fear leaving the body (to quote Jillian) then I must be FEARLESS!!! Here's to Day 2!!!

I'm starting it (again) right now. I did a week then a week off due to vacation. Now I'm starting it again at my original MFP weight.
I am always bouncing between 152 - 147lbs. First goal is 140lbs by July. Hope I can do it and really hope the shred will work for me. I sure could feel it that 1st week!
Good luck to you all.

Day 1 kicked my butt....I woke up this morning sore in places I didnt even know had muscles lol

My honest review:
I dont like the Shred....I like the idea of a circuit etc but I found I had to do alot of modifications especially for my knees, and I'm not sure that it is something for beginners....
Secondly I hated having a set with one floor exercise and then one standing....I spent alot of time trying to getup off the floor....would have been nice if all the floor exercises was lumped together as much as possibe..

Nevertheless I did the entire workout this time and I plan on keeping up with you guys... maybe its because Zumba has spoilt me since its so much fun...but I do like the fact that I know when I'm done I'll be 10X stronger....I' so ready for Day 2 Woo Hoo!!!!

Well, my DVD didn't come in yesterday so I walked 4 miles. While trying to cool down from my walk, I decided to buy the level one instant video from amazon.

Do you have a link for the instant video...that would be awesome....because I live outside of the US and I've been having problems sourcing workuot DVDs
