Started the 30 day shred!

I got this DVD 3 weeks ago and haven't done it yet. :grumble:

Do you think it's enough of a workout to make this your only work out for the day OR do you feel you NEED more cardio on top of it. I'm in good shape and am very active in many sports, but time is more of a factor for me.

I was thinking about adding SHRED to me Volleyball night, because I don't burn nearly as many calories on those days as I do snowboarding or soccer days.

I, too, LOVE the 30 Day Shred!! I started level one last week and was able to get three days of good butt kicking!! Of course, I am not sure if it is in my head or not, but I feel as though I can get through it just a TAD easier than the first day I did it.

Hope you all have a great week!!

i bought the 30 day shred this weekend, i havent done it yet.
I just watched to see what was going on, I think i'll try it today
or tomorrow, is it a great workout?

Ok, I'm a little lost... what's the 30 day shred? What type of cardio is it? Also, where can I get it & for how much? Thanks!

It is a Jillian Michaels DVD called the 30 Day Shred! It is awesome. I think you can get it at Walmart and other places but I bought mine on Amazon.com pretty cheap. It is a great workout!!

I just finished day 3 of Shred and my endurance was much better today! Push ups and side lunges with the anterior arm lifts are still killing me though. I am doing it every other day combined with wii's my fitness coach. So 3 days a week of Shred and 3 days a week of fitness coach with Sundays off.

Hi there, I also received this for Christmas but haven't tried it yet. what are the best weights to get for it, just little hand weights or kettle balls?

I just got mine this weekend (reading everyone's posts on this DVD, I just had to have it). I have a set of 5 lb weights. I assume that will be okay..? Do I need my mat ? I'll post tomorrow (or tonight) how it was. Right now I do the elipitical at the gym and do the Leslie walking tapes. :glasses:

I use 3 lb hand weights and they kick my butt. :laugh:

Yeah it has 3 levels of 20 min. work outs. The video says you will need hand weights and a mat. I have 3 pound ones. And they seem to work fine for me.
I also got mine at Walmart for 9 bucks:drinker:

I wil lhopefully get mine in the mail today. I have 5 lb weights is that to much and I don't have amat but I have a rug in my living room which should be fine. Does it work every muscle or just certain ones. I run for 45 min a day and I will do this also everyday to get the best result. I am also doing body for life its awesome and have lost 7 lbs need to update my weight on here.

I am on day 30 of the 30 day Shred! I have probably missed 5 days of the 30 of workout (2 of them being from the FLU, the other 3 days being just rest days). I have done all three levels and all three levels still kick my butt!!! I LOVE the workouts b/c they are 20 minutes and basically you get three different workouts on one cheap DVD!!! I use 5 lb. weights - which for some exercises are a bit too heavy, but I make it work!

I am having a real hard time figuring out how to add this video in my exercise diary - I just haven't been entering in anything. I wish I had a Calorie burn counter so that I could figure out how many calories I am burning during the workouts! I've gotta believe it's a lot b/c I sweat and my heart rates gets up there at times!

I started at 136 lbs - 5'6. I am down 4 lbs. and I feel GREAT - I have noticed (as have other people) that I look much more tone and skinnier! Love my new body and I am pretty sure I am addicted to working out which I NEVER have been before as I have never really struggled with weight per say.

Someone mentioned to put it under circuit training. So when I did that with my height and weight it said I only burned 135 calories:ohwell: Not sure if it's under the right catagory. Maybe someone else has more info on this.

I got my 30 day Shred about 2 weeks ago. I did it 3 days last week and I am still on level 1. It kicked my butt!!!! I think I am going to do level 1 for 1 more week (4 times this week) then try to to level 2. I also do Pilates the other 3 days, so I am hoping to see results soon.

I also put this under Circut training, but I think I am burning more calories then it says.

I did the 30 day shred for the first time yesterday, My legs hurt some but im great,
I had to stop a few times throughout the dvd to catch my breath, I guess a few more
days and I'll get the hang of it.
