30 day shred

Hi I'm doing 30day shred I'm on day 11 switched to Level 2 now. I done it before and the results were great already see progress this time too. It does get boring at times and on those days I will do something else after completing the 30day. Jillian does get results if you stick with it and have a healthy diet. I lost over 40lbs just using her videos. That was last March when I started. Got married in August 2014 and gained back 20lbs since then. Guess I was enjoying the newlywed life. Decided it was time to get back on it.

Does anyone else have intense calf soreness when doing the shred? I've done it a couple times now and both rounds only felt sore in my calves. I stretch even after I'm done with the dvd. Any thoughts?

I wish you best of luck to all of you here . Just add me.

Heyyyyyyy! I'm on day three of the 30DS! I'm in agony at the moment in terms of my muscles but I desperately want to turn my body around so I'm trying to stick with it. Does it really work?

I'm jus going to keeeeep trying too! It's difficult isn't it, but hopefully the results will be worth it!

@louisemccrea I'm going to switch to the next level after 10 days, because I would probably get bored and quit if I had to keep doing level 1 until I could easily do the harder version. Right now I can follow natalie with a lot of the moves, except pushups, butt kicks and sometimes with the squats and both front/side lunges (my knees aren't so great)
Maybe once I've completed the whole thing I'll go back redo it, and push myself to keep up with Natalie, right now though, I'm just focused on completing it, even following the modified work out, you still break a sweat!
Also I've added you

I did level two this morning. I did it without weights because I got a sliver in the palm of my hand yesterday while doing yard work. My arms aren't feeling their usual workout but my legs are feeling like jello. I guess I was focusing a lot on my legs because I didn't have to think about my arms this time.

A friend of mine told me to try Jillian's butt and thigh workout on level two because you don't really need weights and you still get a good upper body workout until my hand heals. Anyone else doing other workouts/videos whole doing shred?

I started the 30 day shred yesterday. I thought Jillian was trying to kill me! lol I've got my hubby doing it with me starting today. I read something about rest days. How often are we supposed to do a rest day? The hubs was thinking about doing mon-fri and resting sat-sun. Is that too much rest time?

Hey how's everyone getting on with the shred? I've started level 2 now, and I'm finding it much harder than the first level, I'm having to follow anita and do the modified exercises.

I am on day 5 of level 1. On day 3 I thought I was gonna die afterwards, my right thigh hurt so much all day that it was hard to walk. I was thinking I pulled something but it felt much better on day 4. Maybe I just didn't stretch enough, who knows. I will say I think my endurance is getting better but the cardio part is still kicking my butt. Literally, with the butt kickers! lol

I am feeling stronger and am finding that working out gives me more mental strength to stick to my calorie goals. When I felt an urge to eat something bad yesterday I tried a couple of things, waited for the urge to pass, drank some water, and reminded myself how hard I had to work for my calorie burn.

My short-term goal right now is to get into the pants hanging in my closet. I can get them on, but they are a little snug for professional wear. Come on 30 day shred!!!
