30 day shred progress (pix)

Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred is an AMAZING program. On her dvd, (Which you can find for maybe $10 at Walmart) Jillian has 3 levels of circuit training, ranging from INTENSE, to.. OMG..even though I could collapse right now.. I never knew my body could feel this awesome and strong... Each level has 3 circuits of 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. I highly recommend it for anybody looking to build strength and endurance and lose inches/weight. The very first level I did, I couldn't do jumping jacks. Or I though I couldn't.. hadn't tried in over a decade. So I jogged in place for a couple seconds, and then I was like.. Jumping jacks.. I can try that.. and I managed.. maybe 3.. maybe 4 at a time.. BUT I DID THEM.. I was amazed, even though I couldn't last through 30 seconds of them. Now, not even a month later, I've been doing level 3 for a couple of days, I can DEFINITELY do all my jumping jacks, etc. .. Anytime I felt intimidated by the cardio she was doing, whether it was jumping jacks, jump rope, etc.. I wouldn't STOP, but I would jog in place for a couple seconds.. and somehow or other that built my confidence level up to at least give it a try. Which, of course, is why I've gotten better every day. I saw some questions on the post asking how To NOT Give up.. which is why I included my little story.. Good Luck to everyone!

That is a-may-zing!!!!! Way to go! It's hard work but worth every minute of the torture Jillian dishes out!

WOW! This is very motivational to see, awesome! Way to be an inspiration!

This is sooo awesome!!!! It is obvious that you are giving 110% in your workouts, keep up the great work.
This really inspires me

you've really done an amazing job!!! that's so awesome...i do 30ds sporadically, but maybe i should start being more consistent!!! great results!!

WHAT!! 7 days??!! that is amazing!! good job, I'm going to look it up now........*gone*

Ok, I've done 30 Day Shred for 11 days now and I don't have those kind of results :-/ ugh. I took a before and after of day one versus day 10 and I look the same!! Guess I'll have to keep going.

Congrats on your success!

Thanks for sharing, that's great that you have pushed yourself so much. I have a harder time with the cardio then I do any thing else, I really thought I'd be dragging at the abs but I guess. I've been able to do them all just feel like I'm about to die lol. the last few days I have been keeping up with the darker girl who does the full work out and not the modified version of some of the work outs, except for pushups, I still can't do more then 1 manly pushup lol. Though I'm still pushing at it. I would love to be doing a manly pushup well more then 1, sooner or later.

I hope I'm doing this right.. I just wanted to add.. after I posted this, I went and did my level.. and got some really close eye contact with my thighs, and I'm thinkin.. Jeez.. do my thighs look.. smaller? I dunno...
So I finished up and went and measured myself, and lo and behold, I have lost at least 7 inches from all over since the beg. of November. I'm pretty excited about that..the abs killll.. but it feels so good to push yourself and think.. wow.. I accomplished that. And PUSH UP's!! I could never in my life do a "manly push up".. I could barely do a girlie push up.. and now, I may be slow, and it may still be strenuous, but I give it everything I've got, and I can now do.. 1 1/2, maybe two manly pushups at a time LOL

Wow! WTG!

What exactly is the 30 day shred? You look great!! I would love to try it. Im having a bit of a problem losing belly fat.

sweet!

That's great progress!

My reaction when I saw the pictures was "HOLY ****!" Wow, that's amazing progress in such short time! Now I really want to get started on it. I have it, I just haven't done it. That's so amazing.
