30 Day Shred (30DS) - Starting 5/23

Hello Everyone,
I will be starting the 30 Day Shred on 5/23. I did one week back in April and failed miserably :grumble: . If anyone wants to join me on this journey let me know I would love the support and swift kick in the bum. :happy:

I will do each level for 10 days, no breaks. I am going to try to add some additional cardio at least 3 days a week for at least 30 mins. I mark the 30DS as “circuit training, general” for 20 mins- I do not include the warm-up or cool down only the actual “workout” time.

You can post your starting stats if you want but this is not about numbers this is about getting in shape and getting moving. I am not comfortable yet posting my weight or stats. At the end of the 30 days I will post the total inches (in each area) I lost in addition to total weight lost.

We can check in on this thread daily, weekly, or at the end of the month… or whenever you need support and please add me as a friend too :flowerforyou:

    I'm in!!! I too started and failed, so on and so on. I will restart with you Monday. I also do Zumba 3 days a week, so I will do the SHRED on the other days. No way I can do Zumba and SHRED in the same day! (except maybe Sundays when I could take a break in between). I will do my measurements tomorrow and post them in my profile. I have already hit my goal weight, so I am not logging my weight unless I gain or lose at least 3 lbs, as our weight always fluctulates a little here and there. I am looking to tone up more, especially my lower stomach.

    Its by Jillian Michaels- Its a DVD- Does circuits of Strength, Cardio, and Ab's- Total of 3 circuits for a 20 min work out. She really pushes you :tongue: You can get the DVD at Walmart or Target for around 9 bucks.

    Be careful when you get to level 3. The jumping lunges caused me to get a pretty nasty ankle injury:( I have not been able to workout for 2 weeks! I didn't stop when my body wanted to, I wanted to push through and sadly ended up injuring my ankle:( I'm still ticked that I did that!! Good Luck! And remember to listen to your body!

    What's NMTS? I want to do that also. LOL Have you all ever tried the Mytrainerbob videos? I have one that I've been using that is Pure Burn/Super Strength. It is really, really hard! lol But it burns an enormous amount of calories. I hadn't seen anything on it on here, so I was just curious.

    NMTZ- Jillian's No More Trouble Zones. "Fitness expert Jillian Michaels leads this workout program designed to combine upper and lower body sculpting movements with the fast paced action of a conventional cardiovascular workout, yielding maximum results in the minimum amount of time"

    Its 1 hour long and I guess is harder than 30DS. I got them at the same time but I want to see what the results are after each one alone... plus its hard enough for me to find 20 mins to do this work out- let alone an hour and a half- LOL

    I love Jillian's workouts. I've been doing them for nearly 4 months and lost 11 lbs so far. I have most of her dvds and do her everyday. Great workouts. Not sure if I can join in on 'checking in' each day with you but I'm in with you. I homeschool and have 12 kids so I really don't have much computer time. I'll "try" to keep up with you all each day for accountability.

    If anyone buys instant movies from Amazon, thats where I bought mine from. I bought just level 1 for 1.99, and will buy the next level in 10 days.
    I can play it in the living room on the computer, and in the bedroom on our Roku player.

    I got it from Netflix. It's been sitting in my house for 30 days untouched!! ( good thing they don't charge late fees!) Maybe I should actually try it! :). I get bored doing the same thing too many times though. But hey- I'm in!

    I'm in with the rest of you. The only thing I'll do differently is I will be doing a different level each day. Good luck to everyone who joins in on the challenge! We can do this!

    Have you done the 30DS before, or are you just going to do the different levels to spice it up a bit? This is my first time, first day, but I was thinking of checking out level 2 in a day or so, and possibly switching em up.

    I'm in! I've tried it a few times, but never got past 5 day because of one excuse or another. This time will be different!

    I have done it before, but I also like to do it to spice it up. I think it is just as effective as doing one level repeatedly.

    You should try both level two and three. Level two, for me, is harder than level three. This is probably the real reason I am switching it up, so that I never have to do level two on consecutive days. lol.

    I'm in! I will be cycle through the levels as this is my third time doing 30DS. Have never made it 30 days straight, as I work 12 hour days and sometimes had activites after work. There was no way I was going to workout then go to bed right away on those days. I did finish 10 days each level though. Its a good work out and I love that its only 20 mins. I do hike once a week and most likely will not do 30DS that day.
