30 day shred

yes. I'm on my second day of level 2 and it's hard but i feel good. I'm worried about my neighbors because the plank jumping jacks require me to make a lot of noise. I'm just hoping that i look and feel shredded in 30 days.

I ordered this for my daughter and I on 3/30 after reading so many good reviews on here about it and I am so excited to get started:bigsmile: :bigsmile: . The only thing is...it will not be shipped until 4/6:sad: :sad: . It also comes with two more if Jillians dvds but I can't remember the name of them. Hope everyone the best:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: .

I am starting this DVD today! I have heard SO many good things about it :-) I have had it for about one week and I was waiting to start til today (the beginning of a new month) to see how I did. I also have another DVD I will do at night. Hopefully with eating well and working out with these (along with the gym wen I can) I will see a change!

I think starting a new group sounds good! I don't know when my DVD will come (hasn't shipped yet) but I'm definitely up for it! It will be good motivation!

OH, I forgot to ask--are 4 lb hand weights enough? Thanks!

If you're not used to strength training, 4 lbs will be more than enough. I use 3 lb and with some of the exercises, the arm lifts for example, it kills! But the undersides of my arms are a lot more tone for the effort :smooched:

We should start a group or something... Seeing how so many of us are just starting. What do you ladies think?

I think that is a great idea. I should get mine sometime next week. I will let you know. Will we do it on this thread or another one?

IDK, I'm fine w/ continuing this one.....

Cool, yeah, it will help me to stay motivated also..... You guys have to keep on my @ss though, and I'll do the same to you!!! LOL

I did this video one time (level 1) and really enjoyed it!!!:happy: I haven't been able to do it again because I injured myself (unrelated to the video) and now I have to have surgery :grumble: :sad: so I'll be out of commission for about 1 week. But I'll pick it back up when I can. Good luck to everyone!!!:flowerforyou:

I just started this workout last night, and I thought I was going to die by the end! I am really sore today, but am looking forward to losing weight and toning my body.

My sister and I started doing this video every day...however, we went against the instructions (lol) and completed the first level a couple of times (about four or so) and moved on to the second, then the third. Now we just pick whatever one we like that day-- and most often, (like today!) we choose # 3 because we get the most out of that workout. Your body WILL get used to it, and some sooner than others; that's okay. The only thing that matters is that you are completing the workouts and giving it every ounce of your being. We are now hoping for another video with higher intensity, because our bodies have adapted too well. You girls (and guys) can do it!! The sky is the limit...keep on pushing on!!

Ooohhhh, I just ordered this after reading thread after thread about how awesome this video is. I have a class reunion in 9 weeks and COUNTING and I need to drop some pounds pretty fast (think 2 lbs a week fast--not toooo fast, but faster than my body would appreciate!).

I also ordered one of her other newest videos that came out called Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism that also promises awesome results.

I have been working on a couch to 5k program for the last 2.5 weeks and seeing ZIP for results, so I'm hoping this will amp things up. I'll definitely keep everyone posted. I plan to rotate it in at least 3 days a week for the next 8 weeks.

While it's good to change things up...just make sure to give yourself at least a day (or two) of rest. Your body needs to play 'catch up' and it cannot do that properly, when the muscles are always at work; your tissues need to repair. Also, switch your workouts up...one day cardiovascular exercise...the next strength training. I wish you the best of luck! God bless.

My husband & I got P90X from a friend and started it but after reading this thread, maybe I'd rather do this! LOL The P90X workouts are over an hour long with warm up & cool down, so a 20 minute workout would be much better for me and my short attention span, I think. I think I read one of you say that this is available at Walmart? Guess I need to go shopping

I'm not sure about Wally World..... I got mine on Amazon.com for ~ $8 though. Try that if WM doesn't have it.

I'm with you, i did it forthe 1st time on Sunday and i could barley walk on Monday, i did it again yeysterday and i am fine today.

Good for you!!

well I did month 1 last week, with good results. Not much weight loss to show bc I gave in to stress the last 2 weeks and ate like a cow! Well probably more like a 17 year old boy but you get the picture.

Anyway- back on track and did my first level 2 workout yesterday. Good golly miss molly I am sore!!!

Glad you jumped back on the waggon.... Keep it up!! :flowerforyou:

Ronicka--Thanks for the concern. I do plan to switch up the 30 Day Shred with some walking and running so I don't overwork the same muscles!
___________________________________________________

So I got into my workout gear this morning, then grabbed the mail quick and wahoo! my 30 Day Shred had arrived. So I did that instead of my planned exercise.

I did Level One, which the cardio was super easy and the ab work was challenging but not *horrid*. . . however, my poor arms are going to fall off! The last moves, with the side lunges, where you bring the weights up straight in front of you?? I made my DH do that when he got home from work (where he routinely lifts/pulls/pushes 50+ pounds!!) and he had difficultly doing it!!

I think I'll do Level One for about a week and then switch up to Level Two and see how it goes.

Tell ya what though. . .under my belly blubber is a 6-pack waiting to come out! Or at least, it feels that way now. My abs are in pain--feels like my pants are too tight, even though they are actually a touch loose!
