    Hi! I'd like to join this group too, but couldn't find the actual group in Groups. I did day 1 last night. I wasn't sure I could do it. I took a couple small breaks during cardio, but everything else was good. Yay! Not exactly sure I can do this every day though LOL. We'll have to see.

    You can either log it as circuit training or you can add your own exercise if you know the calories burned (go into your exercise log, search 30 day shred, and it will come up with an option to add it). I used to do it as circuit training, then got a HRM and the results were very close, so I added 30 day shred as a new exercise and I use that figure

    I finished day 10 of level 1 when I got home from work today - not looking forward to level 2 tomorrow!

    Today's non scale victory - I wore some trousers to work that had started to get snug but they were quite loose - good incentive to keep going!
  • I would like to join the group! I completed day 4 level 1 today. invite me please! :)
  • Invite me too please! I haven't gotten the CD yet, now that I know what it is, so I will have to start next week......
  • Hi - I didn't know what it was until I read the thread of postings. It's the Jillian Micheals DVD right? Can you please add me to your motivational group? I would like to join, but don't have the DVD so I will have to join next week.:smile:

    I haven't had a chance to go through the whole thread here cos we've been sticking to the group to keep it all in one place. If anyone wants to join the group please message/friend me :)

    did Day 1 this morning and will do day 2 tonight - need to catch up with you!
    I actually feel pretty good right now considering I'm up since 5.30 am
  • I started the 30DS a week and half ago...and already I noticed a difference! I'm also watching what I eat and I've lost 3 lbs!

    Day one level one today for me - I nearly died on the jumping jacks / rope part - Im sure Ill only be able to move my eyes tomorrow!
    I secretly like the pain and feel fantastic though!
    Ill ask my body tomorrow what it thinks! :laugh:
    Im relatively new to exercise but Im not a sedentary person I have a busy job and am on my feet running around all day - but it appears I have no upper body strength whatsoever!
    I found the lunges leg exercises easy in comparison to the weights! My arms were quite shakey after!
    But like I said I feel amazing now and cant wait to see the results on day 30!
    If anyone else started today please add me it would be nice to share the pain x

    Hi there everyone, new to the site.

    I did 30 Day Shred last monday too. Wasnt expecting it to be that hard since it wasnt in the beginning, but when it was nearly over I wanted to put my weights down, glad I didnt though and I finished it.

    Jogged today for 30 mins and did day 3 level 1 with 30 day shred. So hooray!

    Completed day 2 yesterday and I already notice a difference in my energy level. And I'm not as sore after day 1. Feeling more confident already :)
  • Good morning, I did my day one last night. It was tough, but I got through it... Im looking forward to day 2. Cant wait to see some results. Im so happy that I started, I hope to get through all 30 days!
  • Im learning my upper body strength isn't what I thought it was either, i had to do the push ups on my knees, and my 5lb weights felt extremely heavy during the side lunges. Im looking forward to getting stronger! Best of luck to you, you aren't alone.
  • How does everyone log this as exercise? I'd like to figure out the amount of calories burned but I don't know how?:huh:

    Circuit training general is quite accurate
  • Hi everyone! Is it too late to join in? I started this Monday, so I'm on Day 4 today. My legs are SCREAMING, but my arms only burn during the shoulder raises/side lunges, and my abs rarely move past a slight knot in the belly. I've done Level 1 before, so maybe my body is used to those exercises? Anyone ever modify parts of 30DS to do different exercises for that same body part? I'm thinking of doing 1 minute planks in lieu of crunches...yay or nay?

    I started on Monday as well, so today is Day 4. The soreness is finally starting to go away! I do it every day after work, so I will be starting it in about 30 minutes! I've started it before, but always quit during Level 1, so you guys are my motivation to finish this thing! I am determined to do the entire 30 days, and to see some results! I almost look forward to doing it every day, just because I can't wait to start seeing results. Good luck everyone, and thanks for the motivation! This will definitely help me stay accountable.
  • I started 30DS on Tuesday because I didn't get the dvd in time for Monday start. I did Level 1 on Tuesday, Level 2 on Wednesday, and Level 3 on Thursday. I was just curious about the different levels and wanted to try them all. I was kind of thinking of doing Level 3, Level 1, Level 2, etc. Alternating them every day for 30 days. Has anyone else done this? It just seems like it would not get boring doing it that way. Do you think it would still be as effective?

    I think that's a good idea, especially since it can get boring doing the same routine 10days in a row. I know if I were doing it that way I would always look forward to my "Level 1 Days"! Let us know how it goes! I am at level 2 day 3 and i'm dreaming of the easier days of level 1!

    I think each level is progressively harder, and the recommendation is to do up to ten days per level to increase your fitness prior to moving to the next level.

    Once I've done the whole 30 days then I might dip in and out of the different levels, but last time I did it I just used level 3 to keep up my fitness, as I hate level 2 and by that time I found level 1 too easy.

    Well I just started level 1 day 1 today..... man i was sweating more than i do when i go to the gym, i thought i was gonna die..lol
    i have problems with my feet at the moment (have for months) so am findind the jumping jacks and jumping rope abit sore.... i am soooo useless at doing pressups...but the more i loose the more i will be able to get onto my feet(when it feels better that is)
    Not too sore at the moment.... did the best i could and didnt give up...looking forward to tomorrow.

    outta curiousity has anyone tried those toner shoes? i went for a walk today in some and found my calves ached..lol... dont know if its from the shoes or from the 30 day shred i did before the walk

    I started this yesterday. I am on week 2 of C25K and wanted something to go with it. 30DS kicked my butt bad yesterday. Stairs have been a challenge today and trying to sit on the toilet has been excruciatingly painful. I somehow mustered the ability to do my C25K this morning as I plan to do it on M-W-F and 30DS on Tue-Thurs-Sat. I think Sundays will be just a day of whatever I feel like doing. This means that tomorrow I will be doing 30DS again. UGH! Bring on the Tylenol, lol.

    I have been doing 30DS... I'm doing mine a little differently. I am typically doing it every other day as I am able to complete each segment by giving my muscles a little bit of a break. I in the past 3 weeks, I have done level 1 for 12 times. Last night I didn't really struggle at all... So I am moving up on Monday! I gave level 2 a test run the other day... Let's just say I'm not all that anxious about it! I am officially down 15 lbs from January 3rd and I watch my calories like a hawk. Good luck to everyone!! We can do anything if our hearts are in it!!
