'Fear leaving the body' is my favourite Jillian quote and I have started my first day of the 30 day shred. I have seen so many great results from her program and decided it's time I try it for myself
I plan to start the 'Ripped in 30 days' straight after too
I haven't decided whether I will take 1 day break / week or not and would welcome your views
Please join me and we can encourage each other and share our successes every week
Feel free to add me the more the merrier

    Hei Ramitta!
    I would like to join you.
    I've started the shred already in june, but couldn't finish it due to time issues - I know it sounds like an excuse, but I don't think my neighbour would have been happy about shredding at night.

    So I'll start it over today, to tone my body :)

    lisa

    btw: I've got almost the same goals and cw as you do

    Hiya :-)

    yay...I am just about to start 30DS today as well and it would be awesome to do it together!!
    I am in awe what results many have seen by doing it and can't wait to see the first small results too :-))

    As I currently only have Ri30 and am waiting for my 30DS DVD to arrive, I might do Level 1 of Ri30 for a few days.
    But I am planning on taking 2 days a week off...maybe I should aim for 1 day off instead...hmmm

    What do you think? Any people who have done 30DS and can help me by sharing their experience whether it makes a biggish diefference whether you do 5 or 6 days a week?

    Thanks :-)

    I'll try and find my dvd tonight and join you. I did it earlier this year, and got some great results losing inches everywhere apart from my arms :ohwell:

    Add me as a friend if you wish.

    I started the shred yesterday and today is my day off lol! I also cycle to work and back, 12 miles total usually 5 days a week and i try run 3 days too. I will be doing the shred but I will have at least 2 days off a week i think! I've done levels one and two already.

    If it is your only exercise then it is ok to do everyday, althought the muscle groups are the same everyday so you could try doing 1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3 etc if your muscles hurt. After day 4 it gets better.

    Good luck everyone!!

    I've been toying with the shred since I got hold of a copy. Happy to make a go of doing it daily. Exceptions for me, if my muscles are still sore from the shred the day before, I will take a break. If I have work on a particular day, use my bike to get there and burn a bunch of energy on the job then maybe that can be justification to not shred also (perhaps I can try and time those work days with my rest days, from what I've been reading, there should be one at least in a 7 day period).

    40 minutes till I have to leave, going to shred, right now! :-D

    I'm on day five, but if it's okay I'd like to join in.

    Completed day 1 today and still feel quite good, so hope won't feel sore tomorrow.

    I'm not sure how I am going to do it with the day off, but probably Sunday will be my day off.

    How have you all been doing?

    btw: feel free to add me

    Hello all lovely ladies, so great to have so many gorgeoes ladies encouraging each other on this journey,
    I think the common consensus is we will take a day or two break, that actually works for me because I can go to the gym and do a bit of rowing or running
    Good luck

    Starting today too and nervous! I am waiting on the DVD to come in but the first two levels are on demand on my cable service. I was excited because last night I found the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred kit for 12 bucks at Ross! It had the matt and the weights. I needed a matt anyway and this was even cheaper than the matts by themselves. I was excited. :)

    Glad I have others starting it too!

    Feel free to add me :)

    Whoa, as I started yesterday as well, it was SO hard to do 30DS tonight!

    The next few days will be a challenge, as I will be at a BBQ party tomorrow and at my mum's 70th B-Day on Saturday.
    Both events will certainly have PLENTY of foods on offer I should not eat...I am a little afraid and it will be hard to do the 30DS workout.

    Started it tonight and have been resting for about 10 minutes now after finishing it. It was way harder than I thought. I didn't realize that I was so out of shape that I get out of breath even doing jumping jacks. I followed the lower impact modified woman in the dvd but still had to push myself pretty hard to even do that. Even feel a little shaky. It's been so long since I've worked out, this is what i get I guess lol.

    Anyone else also feeling out of breath when finished and like mush afterwards?

    I bet tomorrow is going to feel GREAT /end of sarcasm ;)

    We can do this!

    Like mush, yes, out of breath, no (but I've been cycling and running and aerobicsing for a couple of months now so cardio is probably greatly improved).

    Does anyone know the weight of the weights?
  • 1a1a

    Finished day two. Not working as hard with my sore muscles really diminishes the calorie burn aspect :-( Only 130 according to HRM (normally about 220). Through some aerobics on top, shall keep on trying, keen to see if muscles improve after a few days.

    I just finished day 1!

    I'm really going to try to do all 30 days straight. I've been doing spin classes for about 3 weeks and thought I was getting back in shape...but those 20 minutes of Jillian kicked my butt!! Wow!

    Way to go everyone!

    I just did day 1. Omg, it was tough. I had my zaggora hotpants on too and oh my god, I've worked up a fair sweat.

    I'm using 1.5kg weights, which my boyfriend slagged me off for :( haha!

    Day 3 done, 180 calories burned this time :-), muscles not giving in so quick (except for those first reps where the weights have to be lifted over the head, they Kill). Was going to take today off as it's included a bunch of bike riding as well but I keep thinking about before and after pics of 30DSers and I waaaaaaaant!

    Hi !!

    I started 30day shred on Thursday and I did my 2nd day Friday night .. I was a little sore but it was gone by morning (I drink 2 protein shakes a day so maybe that helped). I actually feel pretty good and I am thinking after the first 7 days I may throw in another workout video along with 30day shred but we shall see I have been walking with my 2 boys in the stroller but we all have colds and I dont want to take them out and they scream if I go out by myself :( ...

    I picked up the Jillians 30day shred set at Walmart for $14 and some change it had the mat and the 3lb. weights !! I too am having to do the "girly" pushups but atleast I can do those when I attempted Insanity a month ago I couldn't do a single pushup (modified or not!)

    I took my before pictures and measurements and plan to take pictures measurements every 10day =) Anyone that wants to add me please feel free to do so !!

    Yeargh, I tried using 3k weights the first time I did as they were what was on hand. Muscles revolted after very few reps indeed.
