OKay this is part NSV and part Survey.
First the NSV- Today was the first day of excersize in maybe 4+ years. I have been so physically exhausted the last 4+ years of my life that I just stopped keeping it together. I use to excersize in highschool to keep myself in shape but after dealing with some undiagnosed health issues and energy loss I just quit it all together. Fastforward a couple years, I got married had a baby and packed on 80lbs. That being said the stress level and energy level took turns for the worse. I could barely hold or lift my daughter or carry anything or even brush my hair some days. Now being on MFP i decided I might be allergic to gluetin so I decided to cut out processed food, all grains, and as little sugar as possible.
I have stopped taking my daily 4 hour nap on top of sleeping for 12 hours. I can climb steps, pick up my daughter and hold her longer than I hae in a long time...now here's the kicker...today I decided I had enough energy to try something new all the MFP have been recommending- JILLIAN MICHEALS 30 DAY SHRED...and I made it through the whole work out...huffing and puffing and shouting moments of ill will toward Jillin, but I did it. Praise the Lord Praise the LOrd!.
Now the question did anyone feel like they were pure jelly after it was over!? My knees barely want to hold my weight. IS this common? Is this workout worth it? Wht levels did you all do it on? Help?!

I just started the 30 Day Shred today as well. My legs were definitely like jelly.0
-
I'm still on lvl 1 and I've been doing it 8 days in a row. The first 4-5 days were the WORST. Now it's so easy I can't wait till day 11 when I move to level 2.0
-
I just started it this past week. I too feel like jello when I get finished. I also hurt for about 2 days afterwards. I will get better.0
-
Wow where you have gotten already is amazing!
YES!!! I have been exercising for the past half year or so but when I started Jillian Michaels I could hardly hold my weight after it... But that just means you're doing it properly!! It is going to hurt! How do you think the biggest loser people feel whilst doing this for 3 hours a day EVERY DAY? :O OUCH!!0 -
How do you figure day 11 to switch it, was that a personal choice or a reccomended thing from Jillian's program0
-
Congrats of making it through Jillian's workout:bigsmile: I call her the beast not of this earth:laugh: I have not tried her 30 Day Shred but I have done her Ripped in 30, No More Trouble Zones,6 week/6 pack and Boost Fat Metabolism and I feel like that every time I work out with her lol so I would say jelly legs are totally normal.0

Yes, my legs felt like jelly after the 1st day, so did the next couple days. Then day 4 or so, I felt stronger and the moves are easier. I have one more day of level 3, and I feel much stronger than a month ago.
You CAN do it.0 -
It's 30 days and three levels. Makes sense that it should be 10 days per level. Although I've known people to take extra days and do it longer than 30 days if they couldn't handle moving up... But that's the program. 10 days of level 1, 10 of level 2 and 10 of level 3... 30 days
To the OP: That's amazing! And, yes, very normal. I have a bit of advice... make sure you DO that workout again tomorrow!!! Push THROUGH the pain... I learned the pain lasts a lot less time that way and you'll feel AMAZING at the end of the following few days if you push through it and just do it! You're well on your way to being shredded! Good luck!
edit: Oh, hell... you ARE the op... lol.0 -
I was also mumbling every little word at JM for the first few days. After the first day, I didn't even know if I was going to make it. I thought my life was over. My legs felt like jelly, and my shoulders were so sore. It does get easier. I start level 2 tomorrow.
Best of luck to you.0 -
Good for you for starting ANYthing after 4+ years! I started 30DS today also; and yes, my legs felt the saame way. I wven mentioned it to my husband. I had a feeling it was going to be rough, which is why I started on a weekend :-)
Keep at it! Make sure u take a before pic: it's easier to see your progress that way.
Good luck.0 -
Yesterday was my 30th consecutive day - yep. I made it through all 30 days w/out missing one. If you stick with it, you WILL see results. I did not see a large weight loss (4 lbs), but I lost 8.25"overall in one month. I will be posting photos of my results on Monday when I get to work, but I can tell you that the change is noticable and now I realize why people kept making comments to me recently asking what I've been doing
Each level is difficult when you start, but if you stick with it, it does get easier! Best of luck
Edit: my profile pic is one of my 'after' shots0 -
Do you need anything other then the dvd from walmart to do the work out?0
-
Good for you!
I did level 1 for 13 days, because I wanted to get stronger on it. I think it helped me get through level 2. You go through the levels how you wish, there is no right or wrong. Just do your best and give yourself a little push to do more. If your knees hurt, you can do modified cardio, I had to when my knees started hurting from all the jumping. Keep moving!

All you need is some hand weights and a mat, if you have a hard floor. I still use my mat on my carpet.0 -
i have been considering getting this DVD, but now you all make it sound like hell! lol hmmmmm0
-
oh man, my thighs hurt SO bad for like 3 days after starting 30DS... i could barely walk up stairs. ugggghhhhhh.... but i'm starting again tomorrow!0
-
I believe you just need 3 lb free weights.0
-
I'm so glad that you got to where you are today and are feeling much better! And you should be SO PROUD of yourself for getting through the first 30 DS workout after not exercising for 4+ years! I had already been exercising regularly before I started the shred and I BARELY got through that first workout haha.
YEEESSSS it is VERY normal for you to feel like jello after any of Jillian's workouts. I did her 30DS and am currently doing Ripped in 30. I remember the first few days of the shred I was so sore and it would just hurt more and more everyday. But stick with it, it DOES get easier! I'd say around the 5th day you'll start to get the hang of it0
