Anyone want to start the 30 shred tomorrow?

Hi, I had never heard of this DVD, but I will buy it and join the group...even if I'm a little late by 2 days! sounds like a good workout.

Hi,

I'm a day late too but am starting this evening. Fingers crossed my latest venture into weight loss is a successful one!

Comcast On Demand has levels 1 & 2 (in my area anyway). I'm starting tonight - woohoo!!

if it makes it easier, its also available thro Amazon
Well done everyone!!
I am fitting it in in the mornings (about 4.30am!!!!!) to make sure i dont just come home and say "ah actually im too tired!"

I got Day 1 done yesterday after work, going for Day 2 later today. Since I did this workout before I'm kinda OK with just seeing the workout and not hearing all the comments, although don't get me wrong, I LOVE that Jillian says what I am thinking... "If you are looking for modified jumping jacks you won't find 'em here... I have 400 lb people that can do jumping jacks, YOU can do jumping jacks"!!! Dang it, I wanted "easy" jumping jacks, lol!

But since I've heard it all before I need another form of distraction to get past the point of wanting to lie down and ignore her.... SO, I put the DVD in my LAPTOP, then I turn on my TV! Yesterday I did Level 1 while I had on a rerun of the show Las Vegas - was able to get through more reps with the TV distraction!

On to Day 2 today - keep up the good work Shredders!

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Ice

the wife ordered the biggest loser game for xbox kinnect and it arrived today so i'm having to wait til she finishes 'playing' on that before i can pay jillian a vist.

how does everyone else get on with the stretching cool down at the end. i must be the least flexible person in the world coz i could get nowhere near my ankles when stretching and even just sitting there with my legs out and my arms pushed out behind me was a killer for me! i was all happy to get the workout over and then by the time the stretching was going on it didnt seem like such a cool down. lol. guessing it'll get easier i as i get thru the workouts.

hey i wanna join with you all too!! i actually started yesterday... sounds like fun fun fun... ) oh and i have a question... are we going to post weekly weigh ins or something?

i like the sound of that. i weighed myself yesterday and was planning on a weekly weigh in anyway so sounds like a plan.

level 1, day 2. DONE! 28 to go........lol

Well done everyone, me too Day 2 done! Found it much easier today, used heavier weights and more or less did everything apart from full push up. That is my aim for tomorrow. To complete it 100% with weights and full push ups.

Well day 1 completed yesterday and boy do my arms hurt! I dread to see what level 2 will be like as i was gasping for air after 27 mins of level 1 and my arms were shaking afterwards and i only have 2.5KG weights will do it again tonight but i am hoping that after a few days the soreness in arm muscles will go away.

OK, so day 3 down and only 27 more to go. Today was not so fun. I found that I was huffing and sore in the the first cardio set. On a good note I did one more girlie push-up that I had the past 2 days. AND I did finish strong with the last cardio session.

This thread is great. I also look forward to posting here daily to get motivation. Also I did weigh myself on monday and will post weekly. I also took pictures and measurements so I will share when this is over. My husband is also doing the 30 DS, which of course he doesn't need to. He is 5' 11" and weight 175, but is out of shape and wants to tone up. So since he is doing it that also motivates me. I did laugh at him though because he said afer the workout that he wanted to puke and I said ok well thats Jillians phrase: Unless you puke, faint or die, keep going! He laughed, but I am sure he didn't think it was to funny.

Have a good day all!

Just finished Day 3 and OMG I swear I can feel my body getting stronger already!! The first strength round was soo much easier today then yesterday

i'm about to hit day 3 of level 1. i have a feeling its gonna hurt coz the first 2 days have left me aching. still gonna do it though and hope my body adapts sooner rather than later. at least i know the pain means its working!

does it really work??? i'm working with a personal trainer and i'm starting to get a little frustrated cause my weight is going up and not down! (well only 3 pounds)...

Well done guys! I didn't do a shred today, I opted for a kick *kitten* longer workout that left me in a pool of sweat. I will welcome Jillian tomorrow morning with a big hug lol
