30 Day Shred

I'm slacking! Went to bed late last night and just couldn't (ok, wouldn't) get up at 5:00am to do Day 7. Back to the grindstone tomorrow!!

Without even seeing it I can almost guarantee your form is better than my form . Keep up the good work!

I did 30 Day Shred back a few months ago and lost about 6 inches around my waist. It's a great workout. I remember around day 5 I would start really being able to do everything in the workout and not rest. Then right after I finished 30DS, I started Ripped in 30. Level one was a breeze after level 3 of 30DS. But then I got to level two. You think level 2 in 30DS has planks? 2 minutes of cardio in plank STRAIGHT. Your @$$ doesn't get out of plank. Yeah and level 3 and 4 suck worse than 2. But I got results!!! Its well worth it if you keep going with it.

This is good to know. I want to do RI30 after I'm done with 30DS (in early December). I'm always looking for people like you who have done both. So, thanks for the info! Have you started something else now that you're done with both of those?

Yes right after I finshed RI30, I started doing No More Trouble Zones 3 times a week and then Banish Fat Boost Metabolism 3 times a week, alternating days for each DVD with one rest day. That kind of got messed up me keeping up with that because I moved in the middle of it and couldn't do it for a week with boxes being friggen everywhere. When I was doing it, I was starting to see really good results. I just bought Body Revolution and right now I'm on the 2nd to last day of week 2 on Phase 1. So far its pretty easy after doing all of her other DVDs, but I know its just going to get brutal from here. I also try to do BFBM once a week after one of the BR DVDs just to give myself a little extra calorie burn in case I go over my calories. We have left over Halloween candy and I have been making it my b*tch lately. lol I've already lost an inch around my rib cage, 1/2 an inch around my stomach, and 1 inch around my hips. I can also tell I am in way better shape because I can actually do the cardio 1 DVD in BR and not feel like death afterwards. After I did BFBM the other day, I only felt like dying a little bit, so it's getting better!!!

And the rock star crunches or whatever those things were where you are in a standing position, sit down, rock back into a reverse crunch and then get back up, WTF WAS WITH THAT? I never got those. When I watched that I was like, "wow, didn't know Satan produced exercise videos".

Jillian is the real deal. You will torch calories if you do half of what she does. I've tried to do the 30 Day Shred, but flamed out. I just don't like conforming on that level. I still do either level whenever I want to do a prescribed workout for a sure fire torching of mega calories, but I mostly make my own HIIT Workouts. I always just log it in myfitnesspal as a cardio workout under a created title like HIIT Workout #5. You could create one like "30 Day Shred: Level 1" That will work. Just input your minutes and calories. Blessings to you whatever your choice.

Do you get just the videos on youtube? I would love to try to do some of these workouts with you all!

Hi! We (my wife and I) started it this month as well. We are doing 5 days on 1 day rest, rinse and repeat. Today is the first rest day. I'm looking forward to hitting it again tomorrow morning

So great to see a guy doing it. My boyfriend does JM with me, and every time she says something like "Keep going ladies!" he jokes he can take a break.

I'm doing day 10 tomorrow morning! Excited and nervous for level 2.

Day 4 Level 1. I had a much easier time with the workout today. Yay

Yay!!! Keep it up!

I did day 10 of level 1 today. It was easier for me than it was when I first started, but there were still a couple of things I'll have to work on. For example, I still can't do all of the regular push ups. I can do about 6, but then I have to modify the rest. I'm taking tomorrow off as a rest day, then nervously starting level 2 on Wednesday!

I've watched level 2 a couple of times to get an idea for what I'll be doing this week. And I don't mean to be snarky, but what is up with Jillian's outfit? Her sports bra kind of defeats the purpose - it doesn't seem to keep anything "in place" and her girl parts bounce everywhere! And her shorts are like regular ol' walking shorts. Did she not have time to put on workout shorts? LOL... just saying.:)

Completed Day 5 Level 1!!!!!

Halfway there! Finished up day 15 today. Tomorrow is rest day then on to another 5 days.. (might do 7 days and take Thanksgiving as my rest day..) Good times.

Day 6 Level 1

Just completed Day 1! I was 13st 13.8lbs as of this morning. I might measure myself later (I know I'm about 40 1/2 inches and 31/2 inches underneath - dunno about waist or hips at the moment!).

I came so close to giving up about 5 or 6 times, but the last ten minutes my brain finally worked out each exercise was only 30 seconds. And 30 seconds ain't nothing but a thing, if you give yourself some cheeky, maybe a bit longer than five seconds off...

Hopefully I'll be more accurate but I've not felt up to exercising lately and you guys all encouraged me to do some. This life is mine and it's up to me to do something with it...:P

Thanks guys!
