JM 30 Day Shred

wara-cool!!! glad to hear that you had such great results!! if you'd like to tag along with those of us doin the shred...while you are doin the ripped in 30...feel free
equine/vitamina-I think that you can do them both togethor...just be sure you don't "put too much on your plate"!! if you try to do too much at once, you will be more likely to not succeed...IMO!! Also, you won't know which results are from which DVD...and personally with my OCD I like to know exactly what results come from what I do, so I can keep that as a reference for the future
courtney-sounds like you have some big workout goals!! I give you a ton a credit if you can truly follow your plan everyday...cuz I know that I couldn't! As far as diet...I pretty much stick with my MFP guidelines...I am always under my cal goal (avg of about 1350-1400 cals/day), try to get at least 40g of protein, stay under 180g of carbs, get at least 15g of fiber, and stay under 2500mg of sodium...so like you, just healthy foods to be able to stick within these guidelines
tbhoover-congrats on completing day 4!! I don't have a 6month old (I do have a 12yr old) but my schedule is constantly busy so this time amount will work well for me too!!
****fair warning (not a lecture) to all of you who are wanting to do a ton of exercise on top of the shred...it is good to push yourself, and it is good to get extra cals burned, but I recommend sticking with a reasonable amount of exercise that you will be able to follow through with all of the time! The more you plan...the more chances you have of failing each goal...and once you fail 1, it is easier to fail them all! I know that a huge loss is always nice...but remember, that slow and steady wins the race!! and what you are doing now to lose the weight, is gonna show you what you will need to do for the rest of your life to maintain your goal weight!!****
with that being said....I am greatful to have all of you joining me in this challenge...and no matter what you plan on doing for your workouts...I'll be rooting ya on!! Let's do this!0 -
It's a great workout.. I'm on day 7 of Phase 1, and still cant figure out how someone as small as Jillian can be so EVIL!! Best of Luck .. the program is intense but worth it so far!0
-
Yea!! Day 4 was tough for me..but my advice would be to stick to the shred then move on to the ripped and so on. Take them on one at a time and kick Jillian's butt!0
-
Wow, done w/ D3L1 and it is already a lot easier than day 1! I did most of the push-ups ('girly' style) and didn't have to stop once otherwise. I even was able to do 25 minutes on my elliptical immediately afterwards (although, I am curious of how I am going to feel tomorrow).
Looking positive so far!
I don't know if anyone else has access to what I add to the database...I added the 30 day shred w/ avg heart rate 140 under cardio. My Polar watch/chest strap heart monitor gave me the caloric burn that I entered for the database.
Also, has anyone else noticed that from start of jumping jacks to end of cool down is actually 27 minutes...0 -
I was wondering the same thing. Has anyone done it?
I LOVE this so far!
Do you think it's too much to do 6 Week Six-Pack at the same time?
if you can handle it, go for it! Ive done the shred back to back since I started on the 12th. Did 10 days of level1 and 2, and will now. Do another 10 days of level 2 back to back! I find that one level doesnt work me that hard. I do zumba once a week and run once or twice a week too.0 -
I completed day 11 yesterday, have had 4 rest days so far.
good luck for today to those starting out and those who are continuing onto days 2/3 onwards. The pain does get better!! So hang in there 0 -
kmamac-congrats on day 4!!! I agree with you...one step at a time!!
Kory-i think that what you enter into the database is only for you...cause I enter in a bunch of workouts per my HRM, so that I don't have to use it all of the time! I have noticed that it is 27minutes total!! I think it is the 3 circuits at 6 minutes (with 2 spare minutes in between every move??) that they count as the 20!! I am glad that you said this though...it has been bugging me!! LOL I had a burn of 199cals in the 27min for level one...I will wear my HRM again at the start of level 2! How did your burn turn out?? I was wondering how my compared to everyone elses...so I know if I should be trying to push harder (although I don't know if I could!)
Mariam-great job girly!!! 2 more days until I start!0 -
Last night was the first night I was able to do all of the side lunges with anterior raises! Usually my arms burn so bad I switch up and do some bicep curls instead... but I'm feeling stronger already and I made it through! 0

tjradd-My HR monitor results for calories burned were (I have issues keeping my heart rate down to fat burning zone, so athough my caloric burn was good, it would've been more beneficial if I could've slowed it down some)
day 1-268
day 2-265
day 3-2450 -
I want in on this! I just started level one last night and it kicked my butt, so I'm definitely going to need some motivation from others to keep going!0
-
I started today! I fell off the wagon trying to do this last month but seeing progress on here will help a ton. Can't wait to feel that burn~ 0

No don't worry about getting your heart rate down. While you technically burn a higher percentage of calories from fat in that zone you will burn more calories overall in the higher zone which will be higher amount of fat. Does that make sense?0 -
Whoa, boatload of responses! Hey TJ - I'm totally for this. I haven't been working out as well as I should be (or at all, really!). Excuses excuses but I have plenty of time. Summer break = TIME!
I have the dvd, I'll make some befores today (measurements/pics) and get started with you tomorrow!0 -
Just finished day 5! I am not seeing any change on the scale and I'm not great at taking measurements but I feel a change in my clothes already :-)0
-
comcatee-alright!!! there is nothin better then seeing improvements so quickly!!
kory-seems like you are going closer and closer to fat burning zone each day...I bet you will be in that range within this first week still!
jesguinn-welcome!! A lot of us are starting tomorrow...so you will be right on track with us!
cervenec-glad to have ya!
Sarah-glad that you decided to join in!! I took my before pics a couple of days ago (blah!) and I will be doing my measurements and weight tomorrow!! let's do this!
tbhoover-I will only be doing my measurements on day 1 and then again at the end of the month...did you take befores?? just try to remember where you took them so you repeat that at the end! Don't worry about the scale...a lot of people stay the same (and even have a small gain in the beginning) due to water retention in your muscles...it will start dropping soon as long as you stick to it and to your normal "diet". great job on day 5!0 -
I'll join in on the fun... I've started it before, but not been able to keep going (mainly due to work schedule changes, or body issues), but hopefully those issues won't rear their ugly heads this time.
I'll fix up my signature with info...0 -

so true! I started 30DS last month and had other workouts scheduled on top of it. Zumba twice a week and jogging 3x a week. It was too much and I burned myself out and caused some pain in my legs. I ended up going almost two weeks without exercise. This month I'm going to focus on just the shred and maybe get some other things in if I'm feeling it, but not scheduled because it's true...for me anyway...I kind of have the all or nothing mentality, which I'm trying to break, but when I fail one goal, they all come toppling down because I feel like I might as well just give up. i only set 3 goals for myself this month and going to do my best to stick to them!0 -

That's about what I burn too. My HR is always higher than my optimal zone. If I tried to stay in the zone, I would only be able to walk...I'm hoping as I lose weight and get into even better shape that it will continue to go down.0 -
I'm in!
Today will be 'Day 1' for me (I like starting on Mondays for things lol), I've done it once or twice when I got the DVD (about a month or so ago) but now that I'm out of college and settled in my job I have time to get started right!
Ugg jacked up my ankle again (old injury) so I'm out for this round everyone
Back to yoga dvds and the pool >.> Good Luck all! 0 -
L1D1 - It may have only been 27 minutes but I had sweat dripping off my face and my body was burning! I'm sure tomorrow will be even harder with the lingering pain from today but I am going to believe everybody else and hope it gets better by day 4 or 5! I had to do "girly" push-ups for the first time in my life so I am hoping that by day 30 I can do the "real" push-ups again!
Starting Measurements:
Neck - 15
Waist - 43.5
Hips - 44.5
Thighs - 23.75
Biceps - 13.25
Bust - 43.5
Chest - 39
Weight - 1920 -
So excited to start! Me an my hubby are doing it when he gets home in an hour so I can't wait! Took my measurements and before pics last night! Hopefully I'll be able to post after pictures, because if I don't loose anything I probably wont be posting pics

I know that you are gonna kill it this month!! and i will be right there with you for every step of it!! and no worries about your HR...it will come down as the weight drops off...mine maintains around 65-70 resting and 140-150 during the shred...even though I am dripping sweat throughout!

wannabahotmom-great job today!!! i did day 1 today too...and although i feel pretty good right now...i was also dripping by the time i was finished!!! day 4-5 should def be way easier, and then it will almost be time to start all over again at level 2!!
