How is everyone doing? I done day 3 this earlier despite still being sore. Walking is completely fine, but going up or down stairs.... Oh my god!!
My mum even had to help me out of the bath this evening as I couldn't physically get out I was too sore

Hang in there, it does get better! When I first started working out hard, I had to wait 2 days between workouts - squatting into a seat was sooo painful. But the rest days helped a lot - I was able to push harder through each workout after a little recovery. You are tougher than I was - you can do it! I've only done two rounds of the shred so far, went to the gym instead yesterday and today.

I'm about to do day 4. Day 2 was really hard for me, I was so sore. Felt like I'd pulled something in my arm?Took a day off the next day, then did day 3 yesterday and felt way better. I'm going to keep powering through now until I feel like I need a rest day. Still using 5lb weights which is plenty difficult enough for me! Lol

Mine isn't due to arrive until the 11th but I swear I'll catch up with a vengeance!

Hey! Just thought I would let you's know that if you wanted to just try the workouts before buying them all 3 levels are on YouTube for free.

I did watch level 1 & 2. My wifi connection is a bit slow so it kept stalling. I was able to decide this was the one for me by watching with constant pause and upload. I do think the You tube videos are great for scoping out if you're fit enough to do a workout and if so does the trainer make you want to have a mental breakdown. I didn't find level 3 on YouTube though even though 1&2 popped right up. Each video took roughly double the runtime to watch so I can't use it to workout as timing is everything. It helped me decide against a few harder without videos that were much more expensive since I compared them. And thanks for giving a gentle nudge towards starting right away without pushing to hard, that's the kind of dedicated support that makes MFP a success.

How is the shred going for you guys? I'm thinking about starting it along with doing my jogging/walking on alternate days!
How many days per week do you do it?
I got the DVD and hoping to start this weekend!

I started c25k In March and finished it 3 weeks ago. was doing that 3 days a week. I kept up running and added in 30 day shred on alternative days taking Sunday off. Have to say I was wrecked after 2 weeks. I work full time also so I think it was a bit much.

This week I've/will do
Mon off
Tues 30ds
Wed run
Thurs off
Fri 30ds
Sat run
Sun off-ish will probably go walking somewhere scenic with friends. More leisurely than power walking.


I'm not as tired this week. My running was better and faster on Wednesday. I've done each workout of 30ds a couple of times and then change the level just to stop me getting board. Level 3 is hard!

I'm also doing slimming world since October. I'm down 3.5 stone. For the last 2 weeks I've being using fitness pal to track calories while following slimming world plan to get this last stone off.

Well done to everyone keeping up. Can't wait to read how you are getting on

Is anyone still doing the 30DS? I've been having trouble finding an active thread where ppl are still doing it. I am on Level 1, Day#4.

My starting measurements are:
chest - 37.50
arms - 13.00
waist - 34.75
hips - 43.50
thighs - 25.50
neck - 14.50

My starting weight is 194.0. Height is 5'7.

It is day 4 and I finally got my hands on a set of 2.5 lb dumbbells, as opposed to using filled water bottles. LOL. I can already see definition in my shoulders. TOM is here so hopefully there is some fat burn hiding behind this wall of bloat

I added you, Janessa! I'm starting Wednesday! Maybe will add to this thread or make a new one for June?
Are you doing it every day?

I just realized a June 2016 thread has indeed been started today.
