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

Day 7 done and I dont think there's any way i'll do this in 30days... I think I'll just stick at level 1 for the entire time! It's all hard but that first cardio set (jumping jacks/skipping) kills me. My legs are like lead and really wont do it. Today is the closest I came to doing it with a mouthful of water in between each set.

I don't know if it's my age, my size or my lack of exercise for the last 10+ years. Probably the latter!

I finished day 9 of level one yesturday and I will be doing day 10 today. I'm excited I'll be 1/3 the way throught but nervous for a new routine tomorrow. I would have probably have been comfortable moving to level 2 on day 8 but since I still can't do all the pushups I'm going to go through the video as intended. I finally took some measurements and before pictures but it was on day 7 so my results might not be too accurate at the end but oh well (I had lost 4lbs before I took the pictures/measurements).

Keep it up the good work everyone!

I didn't feel much of a difference until after 5/6 days or so in my indurance. The bicycle crunches will get easier. I used to feel the knot in my stomach that Jillian talks about way before she says it but now I don't feel it until she starts counting down for the last 5. Stick with it, it will be worth it!

Day 6 was hard for me today. I felt like I was struggling the whole time.

I usually do it after lunch and today I did it before lunch... maybe I didn't have enough energy for it because I hadn't eaten prior.

I think the side lunges with arm raises are getting harder every day.

Day 8 down!

How are people doing who are doing the shred + another cardio/exercise? I've only been taking walks on all the shred days, but my kickboxing/running class starts back Tuesday night, and I don't think I can't handle both on the same day. thinking of take Tuesdays and Thursdays(class days) off from 30 day shred.

Since the weather has been nice Ive been going for a walk usually 45 minutes to an hour ...on rainy days I go the gym if I can get there and if not I do a round of the biggest loser on the wii.

I go for an hour bike ride twice a week as well I did try to do my regular exercise routine as well the first day and could barely move the next day.

day 5 done!! im only doing it 5 days a week unless i feel like i can do more so it will take me 6weeks to complete. still can't do regular pushups but the modified pushups are def getting easier : )

Completed day 4 level 1. I almost didnt do it and my husband said I would regret it if I didnt do it so I did.. and Im glad. Although it was alittle hard, mainly because I was busy all day and waited until late this evening so I thought I was going to throw up.. but I am glad I didn't skip

Done with day 7!

So proud of myself for sticking with it. Woot!

Way to go everyone!

I did not make it to starting the shred. I have been working out but with Zumba. I guess I'll have to get in the next round.

Today was supposed to be day 9 for me, but never found the motivation! argh, well, tomorrow is another day

Day 7 Level 1 done tried to used the 10lb weights a little longer. Had to switch back to the smaller ones in the middle of the curls cuz they threw off my balance but did still use them longer.

first day of level two was a killer!!!

Today I will complete day 8 of level 1. I am proud of myself and have noticed some inches off my body here and there. I have weighed myself 2 , today the scale says I gained. I'm thinking its mussel or water weight? Did any of yall noticed this?

I'm baaack!!! I had to take 3 days off since we were out of town. I did do some manual labor, though, by cleaning out a storage shed. Lots of trips up and down stairs carrying bins/boxes. :happy: Just finished my 30DS workout and it feels good to be back to my routine. Now it's time to get back to the clean eating after a weekend of oh-so-yummy food that made my weigh in this morning not so pleasant. :noway: Here's to a new day!

Day 9 done - 1 more of Level 1! Used 5lb weights instead of my usual 3lbs for everything except the side lunges/arm lift thing, still feel the burn with 3lbs on that one:noway: . From reading posts kind of scared to move on the level 2! Side note - I managed to do the video everyday this weekend! Very proud of myself for that! Not so proud of myself for everything I ate this weekend though:ohwell:
