I know there are a billion 30DS threads around but I didn't see any for starting July1st (except closed ones). I am dragging my hubby out of bed on Canada Day to start it! Every morning in July. We are going on vacation July 27th and want to be lookin' good! I am creeping close to my weight goal but still need lots of toning...particularly in the tummy area. Hoping that adding in the 30DS will help with those last couple pounds and shaping. Plus want to see if doing a home workout works for us and if we could look towards doing Insanity or P90x in the future.

So is anyone else starting July 1st?

    I'm hopping back on the workout wagon. I'll be switching up between 30DS and Ripped in 30!

    I just started using MFP this week to track my calories and I'd love to join this Shred. I've seen so many other people on here using it so I downloaded it last night and will be starting on the 1st. Not sure if I'll get to it everyday since I try to make a Pilates class once a week and get on the bike once also.

    Yay! I'm going to need all the support I can get as my hubby is not a very willing participant. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    I'm going to post my starting stats tonight (as soon as I find my measuring tape) so I can see if anything is actually going on. I'm also finishing up my last week of C25K so will be keeping up with runs. Plus I usually do elliptical or biking or Zumba on my non-run days. Hoping for a really successful July! Good luck everyone!

    I just finished day 2 of 30 day shred. We go on vacation on the 16th so I am planning on doing it everyday till then. I am currently doing the EA active 9 week challenge so I am adding 30 day shred on top of that. I really love it so far.

    Happy Canada Day! I'm a Canadian living in the US so I go overboard with patriotism on Canada Day. :tongue:

    Okay, just day 1 and I liked it! Even though I didn't have weights, I was definitely feeling the strength all over and am covered in sweat. Muscles are pretty quivery (is that a word?). Was aching on the last set of abs too. HRM says I burned 146 calories which is pretty darn good for me for 20 mins!

    And hubby was drenched. He was grumpy about doing this but I think it will make a better start to his day and help him deal with his work stress better. Don't want him having a heart attack before age 40! Now off to make him the breakfast I bribed him with! :happy:

    How do you all do today? Hope it goes well!

    I love 30DS, but I never make it past 4 or 5 days. I'm going to start today also, and maybe with all of your help, I'll be able to stick to it and see the results I know are waiting for me at the end. Happy shredding!

    for the first couple of days, I like to keep the sound on til I get used to the routine, then I go for my music...I find that it helps give me that little extra push I need when I start slowing down.

    1 day down on 30DS. Lots to go. Went for the soup cans today. I need to get 3 lb weights. 5 pounds was too much. I was thanking my years of pilates during the abs. Now back to my day off from work...I have to go clean out the shed.

    Wow! I just finished day 3 and I am exhausted now! It didn't help that my kids were being brats the whole time. I sure am glad I have another day down in the books.
