Wow. I tried it for the first time today and my butt is whooped.
I know there are other 30 day shredders that started their own checkings. Today was my first day and on level one. Is anyone interested in creating a new group on Monday?

I burned 235 calories with today's workout.

    I do not have this video but now am thinking maybe I should get it. Is is cardio and strength together?? And how do you know how many calories you burned?

    you can get it on youtube, I do that sometimes. I'd be interested in a shred thread- how often should I do the workout? I just mix it in once a week or so with other things now

    The workout is three 6 minute circuits. 3 minute strength, 2 minutes cardio, 1 minute abs.

    I have an HRM I wear during workouts that calculates my calories burned. It really does get your heart rate up too.

    I think any day of working out is great, so I don't know how many days you "should" do. It is called the 30 day shred and says you can lose up to 20 pounds in thirty days, so I imagine you would need to do that videos everyday for maximum results. They have different levels too.
    I think if you do it a couple times a week it still would be a really great workout for you.

    Hi

    I just started the 30 day shred yesterday and would like to be part of this group... Good for you burning that many calories. I burned only 124 calories with the workout so maybe I will have to go to the next level.

    Cheers:drinker:

    Did you find level 1 challenging? I would stay with level one until it becomes easier for you. I burned 235 calories but I was also dying. It was a hard workout and I will be staying with level one for at least a week.
    So what we will do is start checking in every Monday. Don't feel pressured to move on to other levels. This is about doing what is good for you and doing it safely. You want to reach the maximum benefits of level one before moving on to level two.

    No, actually I didn't find level 1 that challenging. I have the Biggest Loser Bootcamp DVD and I burn more calories with it than I did with the 30 Day Shred. However, I think it would be good to alternate the two of them.

    Check in on Monday's would be great:bigsmile:

    I got the 30 Day Shred @ Target and Biggest Loser Bootcamp @ Borders. Both are a good workout and I just bet you will like them.

    Awesome! I do have to tell you, I did it for the first time on Friday and I was in PAIN all weekend. I am STILL sore. I won't be able to do it today, I am out of town so I am going to move the check in for tomorrow. That is where I will post my stats and goals and all that lovely stuff.

    I just ordered my copy on Saturday from Amazon. It was $8.50. How much is it at the stores?? I can't wait to get it and get started.

    I got my copy off of amazon as well. I think the prices are pretty much the same.

    Did level 1 and level 2, sure I will be sore tomorrow. Are you really supposed to do it everyday???
  • candycaneps
    candycaneps Posts: 340 Member
    I don't think you HAVE to do it everyday. If you can then do, but make sure you pace yourself. Personally I wouldn't do level 1 and 2 when first starting out. I am staying at level 1 for now until I can do it without dying =D I am still a little sore but Saturday was terrible. I couldn't stand up on my own. I am more out of shape then I thought!

    Level was wasn't to bad for me, that is why I did both. Next time I will just do level 2, along with my running program. I do like the circuits, makes it go by fast.

    Hi! I want to join in!
    I bought the DVD last Friday.
    Today was Day 3, level 1. And Level 1 kills me! I am so out of shape..

    My Goal is to do it everyday minus Sunday for a month and see what kind of results i can get. I have some baby fat (gained 64 lbs!!! Lost about 44 of them doing nothing) i am trying to get rid of and just get toned.

    I have great motivation, Cruise in 222 Days!!!!

    Just got my dvd and did level 1 today. Wasn't too bad. My husband did it too and thought it was way hard! I think I'd like to do level 1 and 2 on the days I don't do anything else. Just one level on days I run. Hoping to do it everyday, minus Sundays, for a month. Hoping to see results!

    Hi

    Just checking in with the other Shredders in this group. I didn't get the 30 Day Shred done. I wanted to try the second level of the Biggest Loser Boot Camp. I burned almost 200 calories on this workout. Tomorrow I will try the second level of the 30 Day Shred. Thought I would alternate the two different DVD's each day. Good luck everyone:flowerforyou:

    That sounds like a great idea! I am so happy for all of you. We will keep each other motivated. I will have to do my video tomorrow since I am out of town today and didn't bring it with me. Tsk Tsk. I am real excited though. I know you girls will keep me going. For those of us who will be on level 1 for a while, that's okay! Don't feel bad, we all need to start some where and we will be getting in the best shapes of our lives. =D
