i am on day 3 today. my 3 year old laughs at me when i do the pushups and i have no idea why haha, but day 3 is today. i rested yesterday because i was so busy with everything else, but i'm ready!
do you guys think it would be redundant to do a 60 day shred? 20 days of each levels instead of 10?0 -
Hi Oples, Cris and jess! :flowerforyou:
Day #2 - I took it "easy" but my shoulders and upper arms still hurt. A lot. :grumble:
Girl push ups and the last group of cardio was sort of a shuffle.
Changed my Day #1 pics to the "Private" setting in Flickr and they're still here. I guess I'm okay, not many men wander in to the 30DS threads. I think. hmmm......0 -
Did my L1D3 a little late in the day today, but that makes me even more proud that I still did it! I can already tell a little bit of a difference as far as endurance goes!0

day two down!0

thanks DVD arrived yesterday i'm off to buy my hand weights this morning - DAY 1 of Shred will commence today :-)0
-
I'm down for this! I started shredding with weights yesterday, and six week six pack the day before. I use a 10lb dumb bell because I'm not ready yet for a kettle bell.
I am so sore, my hair hurts!
Good luck to you all!
Hello!
10lb? I don't even know if I could lift that much, good for you! Kettlebells scare me, I'm pretty sure I'd take out the TV, coffee table and a few cats if I tried.0 -
I haven't gotten my shred on yet.
I will get it done this afternoon.
Here are my starting Measurements:
SW= 154
Chest= 33.5
waist=34.5
Hips= 43.5
thigh=(L)25,(R)24.75
arms= (L)13.25(R)13.5
Taking these measurements did not make me happy, especially when my waist is bigger than my underbust.0 -
Day #3 done. A bit easier and a bit boring. I added some of my own moves in.
I wanted to get it out of the way early so I didn't spend the rest of the day dreading it.:embarassed: It really does get easier and like kamakameleon I noticed some improvement in my endurance. Hopefully it will soon become less of a chore, it would be so nice to look forward to doing it. Visible results would be a great motivator - I need to go look at some before and after pics again.
Have a great Saturday!0 -
I'm on day 3 now & the muscles in my bum hurt, which i actually quite like cos it makes me think i'm working them. I have achilles tendonitis too, i take an ibuprofen if i need it but since gettin a good pair of trainers its miles better.0
-
D2 and 3 all done. Hate pushups and bicycle crunches. Doing most of it without stopping this time around, which is ace0
-
Ok day 3 it's done and I'm sore!! And my knees hurt : (. But o well I'm not stoping for 30 days!
O yea and I decided to weight myself just the first day.. I'm 154 and then I will weight mysel on day 30 only o don't wanna be obsessed with the scale so goodbye I won't see you in 27 days!!0 -
ooooo.........we're already on Day #4!
I'm still trying to wake up...still sore in my upper body but I'll wait until after I complete it to take some Advil. I don't want to block any pain and overdue it. I can't decide if I want to modify anything today. I'll still do the pushups "girl" style but I might do a few less of them. I might do some of the exercises that use dumbells without them - just the motions. I can't decide. I've been reading previous 30DS threads and many members continue through any soreness, most of them feel no pain after 4 or 5 days in.
Yesterday I noticed my endurance increased - good motivation to continue! I also feel tighter, firmer....something. I almost got out the measuring tape but stopped myself - I don't want to get discouraged if I don't see an improvement in 3 days. :laugh:
cheechee - I WANT the muscles in my bum to hurt! :laugh: jealous.
How's everyone else doing? I know some of you just started or will be starting tomorrow.0 -
Finished Day#4 earlier after a 20 minute yoga warmup. Didn't use dumbells at all and substituted down dogs for pushups. So much easier to focus on breathing and alignment, I should have done that before I started.
Stamina has really improved and I actually enjoyed it!
Soreness is almost gone - woohoo!
I feel MUCH firmer in my abs but I'll wait until Day#10 to measure.
Tomorrow AM I'll be ready for Day #5, tonight I'd like to get a longer yoga practice in just to relax.

Sorry I haven't posted can't get to a computer until tomorrow but I have done the shred day 3 n 4... Had to modify all cardio to just punches cause of this lower body injury but I'm determined to keep doing it either way! Hope you are all shredding n having a great holiday weekend!0
-
L1D4 yesterday, and D5 done today! My soreness is definitely starting to ease up.
Keep it up everyone!0 -
Day 5 done & loving it again, not so sore which is good! Go Shredders Go!!0
-
Completed Day 5 yesterday! Slight soreness in upper body but not nearly as bad as the first few days. I'm still doing girly pushups though. I'd rather do a decent amount with knees on the ground than just a few so Im okay with that. It'd be nice to have lighter weights for the side lunges, it might be just me but wow......my poor shoulders. :laugh:
I'm still adding about 20 minutes in yoga after the DVD. I like it.0 -
Hi there!
I started this DVD yesterday and was a little confused...
Are you supposed to do Workout 1 everyday for 10 days, then switch to 2 and then 3 or alternate 1, 2, 3 every 3 days?
Thanks!0 -
I've noticed many members in previous 30DS complaining about knee pain. Jillian doesn't spend much time explaining correct form and alignment, does she?
Some of you might find this more useful than "Don't let your knees go past your toes." -

Hi kiki!
Yes, 10 days each level. It's my first time doing it but I think the levels are meant to get progressively harder......fun fun fun.
Good Luck shredding!0
