Jillian Micheals 30 day shred

I did a general search for "how to track 30 Day Shred" when I started it and found that most people are tracking it as "circuit training, general"

It is almost 40 min from start to finish with the warm up, i know she calls it a 20 min workout but its not! and she whips you around! I really like the workouts and definately see my shape changing and weight lost. I record it as a 30 min circuit training but I wonder if you burn more calories??

I looked on previous boards. I always put 150calories burnt

I am doing it. I do not understand what you are referring to with the calorie burn. Do you mean how much you burn doing it? I use a HRM. I have burned anywhere from 165-200. Usually I burn about 177 calories. I weight between 150-155. If you weigh more you will burn more. BUt if you skip a few jumping jacks or squats, etc, then you will burn less. The other day I did not miss one move until the lateral raises at the end. I missed about 4 of those. That as the most I ever did. That was the day I burned a little over 200.

I just stared this workout on Monday (it is now Wed) and I've got to say, there is absolutely NO WAY I can do it today too! The thing that I don't understand about this is that it says you are suppose to do it every day, but there is no mention of letting your body recover! Isn't it really bad to not give your body any rest?? What if you are just in too much pain to doing it every day? Either way, I'm going to skip today and hopefully I'll be less sore tomorrow and maybe I'll do it then. I just think it's kind of dangerous to keep going if you are too sore, I'm afraid i would do some kind of damage if I kept going feeling like I do! What are everyone elses thoughts?

Everyday is only a suggestion. If you're sore/in pain then listen to your body and rest if need be. If your 30 days takes 6-8 weeks it doesnt matter....you'll still see great results. Just don't give up!

I did day 2 of level 1 on 30 day shred- I think I hate jumping jacks and push ups more than life!! Does this workout really work? I do 1200 calories every day and the weight loss is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slow. Wish it came off like it came on:-(

Thanks friend!!! Don't like avocado. Going to do day 3 tomorrow and some walking today.

I'm right where you are! Did day 1 on Monday, day 2 yesterday and I'm going to just do some treadmill today and do day 3 tomorrow. 3 days in a row is too much for me right now, hopefully I'll get strong enough to do more soon! Do you want to be 30DS buddies?

I'm starting it 2mo. I got 2x 3kg dumbells to make it a more effective workout and plan to fit it around my usual gym/runs/ DVDs. I just don't foresee it giving the me calorie burn I want without exercising elsewhere

I'll also use my hrm to log the calories

thanks

I promise you that it works! I lost over 20lbs doing 30DS. And now I have moved onto her other circuit training DVDs. I could barely finish level 1 of 30DS and now I am doing her longer DVDs of circuit training like Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism.
Seriously, just stick with it.
