Alrighty, a bit embarrassing, but everyone starts somewhere.
Starting weight: 207.8
Waist: 38.0
Right arm: 15.5
Left arm: 15.5
Right thigh: 28.0
Left thighs: 28.0
Hips: 44.0
I think I measured my hips a bit low, but as long as I'm consistent I don't think it's much of a problem. For myself I'm also recording my calves, neck, chest/bust, and right at my belly button (widest part on me). I wish I knew what my measurements were a couple years ago when I was at my highest of 236!0 -
weight 142
stomach 35"
waist 35"
neck 14"
...hopefully once i complete ..weight will be 135...stomach 30...0 -
Ok, I did level 1 for the first time today, that was all good ... I was a bit disappointed at the calorie burn relative to how hard
I tried!! But I suppose that's what happens with strength training eh?
what's your plan with moving up a level? 10 days of level 1? then 10 of level 2? etc. I found level 1 fine, I can't do that many push ups on my feet, I can do about 10 on my feet ... I think in my head I thought it was going to be 30 different workouts with each increasing in intensity!
How heavy are the weights you use? I was using 3kg weights, but found the strength training pretty tough (but just about doable) with those, but too easy with my 1kg weights!0 -
All of you are welcome ... and it's great to have such good group to motivate each other.
I didn't measure my self too ... so I'll do it in hours.0 -

Yes it is not that much in burning calories ( mine about 200 ) but you will see the difference soon in your shape :-)
this workout planned to be done by 10 days of L1 then 10 in L2 and finally do the 10 of L3. You said the workout is fine ... yes it is but the second day you will feel very very sore and day two will ba really rough but don't skip it or do it the other day. Every time you will start it after a stop you will fell sore so it's better to continue doing it daily.
The wieghts are depends on you. I use 1 kg dumbbells0 -
Sorry couldn't complete the last post ,
I use 1kg dumbbells to be able to do all the actions well. I my srlf feel hard on using 2kg in 30 ds. I tried but I couldn't.0 -

I log it as about 200 calories burned too. I've heard many people say they didn't actually lose much weight doing the shred unless they coupled it with something else, but their measurements really changed because it introduces strength which a lot of people overlook in their exercise routine.
I use 3 and 5 pound weights. I think I could push up to 5 and 8 pounds, but I'm trying not to overdo it too much. I'm training for a half marathon in just over a month and need to be able to do more than just limp through my training runs, hence the slightly more conservative approach. Don't worry, I still feel it though!0 -
Still to get my measurments will do this tonight for sure! , just completed D3 L1 and im getting fitter but im still drenched in sweat and my calves are a bit sore!

Thank you. I think 2kg weights would be ideal, but I don't have any! I currently don't do any strength training, I run, bike, swim, do bootcamp (which is the only time I do any strength stuff), so hopefully the shred will be good for me! I'm pretty excited about it atm! Always good to do something new eh?
Final question, we do 30 consecutive days without a rest day, is that right? I usually have a rest day every week, but am happy to sacrifice it for the challenge!!
I loved that it was only 20 mins, feels very fit-in-able. I did it this morning whilst the kids watched a cartoon! PERFECT!0 -
Did Level 1 before work this morning - for me its easier to get it done in the morning so when i come home i can jsut relax - i walk 70 minutes a day to and from work 5 days a week (but I think my body is used to that now) also do spin once a week.
I might try go twice a week for the next few weeks - only 5 weeks till my holiday!!! need to do as much as possible before then! Thing the 30DS will defo help I am covered in sweat after it!
I find Level 1 tough but doable! looking forward to see what Level 2 has in store!0 -

Hi! I have just ordered this from Amazon, so it will be coming early next week hopefully! :happy:
Can I just ask what you put down in your exercise diary for this? I was hoping there would be an option for 30 Day Shred but I couldn't find one.
I am new to the site, only joined yesterday, so any advice would be greatly recieved0 -
I would love to join. I will begin today with the 30 day shred. I will list my measurements this evening. I need this challenge since vacation is coming up for me. I also work 3 to 4 miles, 4 days or more a week ( I just started back). It will be interesting to see the results in 30 days. Thanks for the challenge.
