30 Day Shred Challenge **CLOSED**

I haven't done the shred before so could someone please verify:

I know it's 10 days per level, does that mean we go straight through each week, no days off?

It's only a 20 minute workout so it wouldn't be too tough to go straight through, I was just curious what everyone else is doing, because ripped in 30 said 5-6x per week, per level.

Any contribution would be appreciated!

Good luck!

I researched this myself and apparently it's up to you. Jillian Michaels has said you can go straight through or take a couple of days off to rest sore muscles. Someone in another forum suggested taking a rest day in between each level so Level 1: 10 days in a row, rest day, Level 2 10 days in a row, rest day and then Level 3 10 days in a row.

As of now I'm going to attempt to go straight through (knowing there will likely be a day or two when I'm too busy) but I might take the two rest days in between levels if I feel myself burning out.

Hope this helps!

I just made it through day 2 of Level 1 I am going to do Level 1 again tonight then onto Level 2.
Hope everyone's workout is going well. Keep up the good work.

Starting tonight here are my stats

Current weight 195
Sw 200
Gw 130
Chest 47
Waist 45
Hips 46

Anyone else dread doing the side lung/shoulder raise? .. I do lol

Yes! I haate that part!!

Great job on the spread sheet. My bust is unfortunately a 38, not a 32 as recorded :-)

Hey! Can you please change my starting weight to 137.2lbs? I just weighed myself today on a new scale and unfortunately it makes you heavier haha, just want to show accurate progress for this challenge!

Thank you !!

Just finished Day 3. I've managed not to skip a day yet, but I so didn't want to start today. I came online to look for some motivation and there were hardly any posts in our group. Instead I remembered back to yesterday when I went into the Gap to try on some new pants. They were gorgeous skinny jean cords. I tried them on in a size 12 which is the size of the Gap jeans that I'm wearing now and they didn't fit! I was kinda sad.
When I reach my goal I think I'll be a size 10. I'm almost 6 feet tall, so I don't ever get smaller then that (at size 8 I look too skinny). My husband was with me and he said that if I did the 30DS every day without skipping he would buy me a pair in every colour. So there's my goal and my motivation :-)
Day 3 went ok today. It wasn't nearly as hard to get through the first circuit as it was yesterday.

Keep it up ladies! It's only 20 minutes! Think about how smokin' we will be and feel with these 30 days done! I think about the holidays being around the corner and establishing a nice routine when all the temptations ramp up that time of year. I also think about the family and friends I only see once a year and how I want to feel and look the best I can! We take a zillion pictures around the holidays, I think about how I want this year's to actually make into frames and displayed in the house because I am pleased with what I see.

The 20 minutes fly by Thats it! We can do it

i'm super happy this morning...woke up completely sore free and even looked forward to my shredding! 15 short minutes and i'll be sweating!

i just can't wait to see change, i want it so freaking bad! i know my husband wants it too...he'd never say that because he is too sweet but he has been sooo supportive, even asking "did you get your exercise in today"? i've gained 20lbs since we met and on my shorty frame, that is a pretty good amount.

Today I will doing D5 L1...I haven't lost any weight...which I know is normal...or any inches....which I don't know if its normal lol....but I am hoping Monday, my regular weigh in day, will have a nice surprise for me on the scale and/or measuring tape!

I am tired, and still a bit sore, but I keep going back to the before and after pics of the shred...and I get my butt in action and push through those 20 minutes....it's definitely getting easier and I cant wait to get out of these high 100's. 140 here I come!!!

I refuse to go back to anywhere NEAR 200.....EVER AGAIN!!!!!


P.S...I wish we could 'tag' the people in this group....:-(

I failed at Shredding yesterday My dog started having epileptic seizures, and by the end of the day I was exhausted. I'm going to try and do it twice today though, do you think that will make up the difference? I feel all chunky now that I skipped a day lol.

I did too, I wasn't home and had some wine and buttery delicious fattening shrimp instead I too am going to do it twice today, and a hike by the lake. I think doing it twice will make up for it

I hope your sweet pup is doing OK.. i love dogs also and hate to hear when they are having troubles

How come your stats arent up there? Or am I missing it?

Just wondering...

I started today off real late. I could not sleep last night and ended up sleeping until 1 pm. I will do some time of exercise today, I might skip the 30 day shred and just walk today I am sore but then again I should at least do Level 1. I have a question do we do our measurements and weigh in on Monday. I know I have lost weight my boobs have shrunk big time lol, but I still dread getting on the scale. I was weighing myself everyday and stopped doing it, it was too discouraging so now I cannot wait until Monday.
Hope everyone else is doing well and I wish everyone the best with this challenge.
