Day one of the dreaded shred completed, I can tell you now...me and that jillian aint gonna get a long lol. I never thought I'd have to stop 3 or 4 times to catch a breath in just twenty mins of exercise! Think the worst part for me was the press ups, I couldn't even do it in easy mode lol. Feeling it already with my decent down the stairs and I've got 40 mins of cross training to go yet!0

An exercise DVD by Jillian Michaels, it is a 20 min (27 with warm up/cool down) circuit training routine split into 3 levels, 10 days at each level0

I have the 30 day shred. It's been a while since I've tried it. The problem is that I have a bad shoulder. I've had surgery on it a year ago, and I still have trouble. Push ups are almost impossible for me to do. What alterative do I have when it's push up time? I can manage wall push ups. That's about it.0

It's a work out DVD by Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Looser. It's meant to be done each day for 30 days. They are 20 minute workouts with alternating intervals of cardio, strength, and abs. It's pretty intense.0

Going to day 1 tonight. After reading the posts I feel very motivated to get going on this again. Thanks for the push on this:)0

Today was my first day of the Shred. I started it twice this summer, but never made it past day 7 either time. This time I really want to follow through! I think y'all will help to keep me accountable

I done 5 days of it in December and my legs were killing me! Starting again tonight, not long had dinner so waiting til 7.30/8ish then will be doing day 1. Hoping by the end of Jan to be fitter and see a difference in my body shape.0

Today will be day 5 for me. It is really hard still. I have found that it helps to go for a walk after . It kinda helps to lossen up your muscles some. good luck. I hope I can keep going.0

With you on the press ups! I just do them as well as I can - I'm improving as I go along but I'm still a little way off from being able to do them 'easy' way :ohwell:0 -
I also tried this back in the summer, and didn't stick with it because it was "too hard" (in a whiny voice) lol. My hubby and I are going to start it together tonight, so maybe with both of us doing it we will keep each other motivated! Good luck everyone! Hard work = results 0

hello ladies.. im on level 2 day 4 of the shred.. cant speak for level 2 yet (cause it has not gotten any easier) but as far as level 1 goes i saw a major major difference in my endurance and in how sore i was from days 1-2 to days 5-6.. its definitely worth it to push through and not skip even though you're sore and you're dying to.. i find the two days i had to skip a workout (from packed schedule not pain) it was even more exhausting to go back to it the day after.. i definitely recommend sticking to it everyday.. and i have a really hard time justifying missing one since they are so short (maybe 25 mins?).. anyways best of luck and it does get more do-able with each day!!!0

I am on Day 8, Level 1 (gonna try to do 10 days each level) and I thought I was going to die the first few days. The top of my thighs and my butt hurt so bad I had to hold on to the sink to sit on the toilet lol. Here I thought I was in shape running 3mi 4x a week and doing the p90x cardio dvd 2x a week. JM will kick your butt!! I can't wait to get the full 30 days in but after just viewing level 2 and 3 and I scared!!! lol.0

Ooooo you're brave looking at them in advance I was too scared......0 -
There is a MFP group of people who just started the shred yesterday. Feel free to join, even if you'll be a day or two behind! The motivation of other people has already helped me out a lot.

I have seen others posting about the 30 day shred. I'm really curious about it and am thinking about trying it.
Can you answer some questions for me? What is it like - meaning what do you do in it? How long does it take to do? Where did you get it and how much does it cost?
I'm looking for something that I can do at home, that will work and is not very expensive. I'm hoping to get my teenaged son to do it with me - he really needs to get more exercise and is self-conscious about going to the gym. I was hoping that if it was something that he could do at home that it might be better for him.
any info you can provide is appreciated! Thanks.0 -
I am on Day 13 of this. I started doing it when my kids got off for Christmas break because my workout buddy and I had to alter our schedule with kids home. My knees were sore the first week, but I took 2 separate days off over the holiday and just walked the dog instead, now my knees are fine. Just to let those who just started know, my jeans feel a little looser EVERY DAY I do the workout (even with monthly bloating)! This is the hardest workout I've ever done, but if I can do it, so can you. I'm 40 and have only been exercising since Nov. 14th. I've got 35-40 pounds to lose and at least 3 sizes. I can't wait to do measurements after Shred.0

That is the same thing I am planning on doing except I will be on the treadmill as I don't have an elliptical0

I've tried this before and have like some people, never got out of Level 1! Started it again today and could only do 15 minutes before my legs turned to jelly! I am determined to go all the way through. Today was just a practice one hehe.0
-
With out sounding so cliche, I am starting it again today! 0
-
Good luck with this! I did it about 3 years ago and enjoyed fantastic results with shaping and toning!0

I'm on day 3 of the 30 day shred, I really like the DVD's. I belong to a gym and love the classes but I wanted something at home to do. The only part that bugs me is when she says "Pain is weakness leaving the body". LOL.
I wear a Ironman fitness tracker watch and the Level 1 burns 250 calories.. that's GREAT!!
I'm getting married in March so I'm SHREDDING FOR THE WEDDING

The workout is broken down into 3 sets of strength training (two exercises each set - level 1 has lunge/bicep curl, push-up's, squat/military press, side lunge/lateral raise, and chest press), 3 sets of cardio (again, two exercises each set - jumping jacks, "jump rope" - no rope, shadow boxing, butt kicks), and abs (variations of crunches. I like it because it only takes 20 minutes, so you really push yourself, and then it's over with! Go to amazon.com to find them...I forget how much it was. The only equipment needed is hand weights, although I suppose you could substitute other things for them.
And yes, I started it again this morning! I got up to about Day 10 the first time, and just lost motivation as the holidays were upon us. But hey, it's a new year!0 -
Just finished day one level one!!! I plan to do it the full 30 days in a row (that is if I can even walk tomorrow!!). I completed it about a year and half ago and had great results!0
-
Did day 1 yesterday....feeling it in my thighs this morning!0

There is a 30 day shred group on here. We all started the Shred together yesterday. It's better when you can do it with a group of people instead of on your own. keeps you more motivated. 0
