Anyone want to start 30 day shred with me?

Well, I started before everyone on this thread. I just joined so I could talk to ppl that are doing the shred.
I started 11 days ago on level 1 and yesterday was my first day at level 2.
There are 3 levels to the video and you do each level for 10 days ...hence "30 day shred". Each level gets a little more intense, but they're fun and you def start seeing a difference.

Ohhhh - thanks! Got it! I find she doesn't make it very clear on the DVD, as she makes reference to stacking two or more work outs in succession. Others on this site recommend taking a day of rest in between, but Jillian again, makes reference to doing it everyday. I guess listening to your body is key!

Good work and keep at it! Can't wait to try level 2 (or can I.....)
:flowerforyou:

I think ppl start doing that when they're done with 10 days at each level. By that time you're used to level 3, but you don't want to keep doing level 3 bc you need to change your routine otherwise it could lead to a plateau. So, I think she recommends doing 1 and 2...2 and 3...or any way just to switch things up a bit.

I listened to Jillian. She knows what she's doing. She's helped how many ppl lose weight and she's in great shape herself. I didn't need to take a day off in between, but that's just me. I pushed through the first level. I think it's all about your mindset.
Like Jillian says, if you want it bad enough you'll just push through it...but also if you're body can't handle it, you need to listen to what she says about following the girl (on her left) that's going at less intense pace than the other girl (on her right). Once you build yourself up then you can start following the girl (on her right) the way Jillian wants us to do the workout

Good luck to you and everyone else at level 1 :flowerforyou:

p.s. make sure you guys do extra stretching before and after....I found that doing so will help with being sore.

Good work ladies!!!!

I swear, it is day 4, and I feel a MAJOR difference! I seriously feel that my shoulders and my stomach is looking better already - is that even possible?

I'm hooked!

Hubby did it tonight - he thought it would be a piece of cake, and that man was sweating! He used his P90X dumbells, and I'm not kidding, Jillian kicked his butt!!!

Good work WantToBeMoreActive!!!!

How's everyday doing today????

I'm off for a run and a SHRED!
:flowerforyou:

Wow sounds like you ladies are doing a great job! :happy: I see some of you are seeing a difference in certain parts of your body and with endurance. That's so great, congrats!
I feel like I lost some inches in my waist and arms. I don't want to measure myself until I'm done with the shred....kind of like a surprise thing lol

So, on the first level I wasn't sore or feeling any sort of aches after each day of the shred...but yesterday morning and this morning I'm def feeling sore! Level 2 works out completely different muscles as well as the same muscles as level 1. It's so much fun tho! I can't wait until you guys get to level 2 :happy:

Hope everyone has a good day!

What video is this and where can I get it? It sounds interesting.

The DVD is Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred and you can pick it up at Amazon, Wal-mart, HMV, etc! Mine was dirt cheap at $11.99!

It is AWESOME!!!!

Today was the third day in a row when I did it in addition to a run - I'm actually feeling pretty exhuasted today!

Have a great one everyone!

or you can just go to YouTube and type in 30 day shred and they have all 3 levels on there

Good morning ladies! Are we hanging in here?

I thought I might take today off, but a good night's sleep, and I am ready to go!!!!

Do you all find it is getting easier? I found that at about day 3, I noticed signigicant change!

Have a great day!

Hi all,

My arms weren't sore today after going with the heavier weights yesterday and my thighs & shins aren't sore either :bigsmile:

I had to take today off as we went away yesterday for the night & just got back now :grumble:

I didn't eat as well as i wanted to while I was away as we were visiting friends and they're not the healthiest of eaters, not horrible but could be so much better :grumble:

Anyway, that's over and tomorrow is a new day

on day 3 now... still really hurting but hoping it will improve pronto.

at the beach so my eating has not been fabulous, but im hoping shredding every day is helping!

i have 5 lb weights, and i find that i can only do the first set of a couple of the exercises with teh weights, and then i just do the second set without weights (and my arms still burn!)... any advice on that???

I almost didn't do the shred today. I actually was trying to talk myself out of it. Sheesh! I did it anyway, but I can't believe I almost didn't. I knew if I didn't do it, I'd be disappointed in myself tomorrow morning. Does anyone get this way with exercising sometimes?
