I started Level 1 , on monaday and just completed my second workout.
Love it so far, my upper arms and chest are really feeling it now, and it feels sooooo good to have that feeling.

Im going mostly on measurments rather than weight as aiming to gain muscle as well.

im so far planning on 5 days on and 2 off, see how that goes.

good luck

  • Hi, I've just started the 30DS too - great to find this group at just the right time! I did level 1 yesterday and today, and I'm planning on doing a workout 6 days per week (I'll probably keep it two weeks for each level, to make it easy for myself to remember).
  • Starting today. I have never made it to level 2 because I seem to always quit. Hopefully this will keep me motivated since my wedding is only 9 months away and I haven't lost a pound towards my - 40 lb goal

    Got up early and completed day 2 of shredding. Now that i'm at work i can definitely start to feel the aching kicking in which isn't all that pleasant with my arms and legs but i'm loving the ache in my stomach. It feels solid. haha.
  • Just starting this again today ( well i did start on Saturday ) but here goes again ... I already aware its going to hurt as took days to get over the 1 day of it let alone full 30 days!

    Lets hope it works as I need it!

    I started a few days ago and did day 4 today. I run every second day and will do this on the off days - but it's been 2 on 1 off the last few days due to a variety of things that came up and meant I couldn't run. But need to run tomorrow. I started with 2 tins of beans and yesterday and today I've been using the bars from hubbie's hand weights. They weigh half a kilo (1.1lb) each I think. In a few days I might actually put a weight on each one but it would be a big jump so want to wait until I've done this much first.

    I started this yesterday.
    I am amazed at how sore I am today. My chest and my legs are on fire.

    The plan is to do this at least 5 days a week. I will also do additional cardio. Yesterday I jogged for 15 minutes but some days I will go to Zumba class or to Curves.
  • Sounding good people! Remember pain is the indicator of fat burning and muscle enhancement, more muscle = more calories burned!
    More calories burned = faster track to bringing out the person you feel inside!!

    I'm so glad I found this group where I can share my love of 30DS with other like-minded people! Today will be level 1, day 4, & so far I'm loving it! Yesterday, day 3, I noticed the workout seemed to be a little easier which means I'm making progress! I seriously thought I was going to die on Saturday when I started it. I noticed I gained some weight on the scale since starting but I'm only 3 days in so I'm not too worried - most likely water retention in my muscles because they've been shocked into action & need to repair themselves!

    Welcome to everyone & I hope we all have a successful journey with 30DS!

    I'm getting ready to start day 2 in a few minutes. I'm hoping I'll be able to push just as hard, but I still feel wobbly on my legs due to the additional exercises I did yesterday.
  • I started yesterday, today will be day 2. I am so sore today, but I am already feeling great. I love how I feel when I do find the motivation to work out. I plan on doing it everyday for the 30 days. Hopefully I get great results.

    Hey ladies - today was day one for me - I did it and didn't need a break and most importantly I didn't keel over afterwards !!! This week will be hard though as my shift for the rest of the week up to Sat nite is 10am to 9pm so need to start it about 8.15 am and I am NOT a morning person :( But I am committed and I hope I can do this :)

    My measurements today -

    44 waist
    47 hips
    234 lbs

    Good luck to all you ladies xx
  • Just finished my level 1 day 1 workout. I can already feel it in my arms and legs.
    What is everyone logging this as in the exercise tracker?

    And it is so great to see so many members, if at least one person is inspired to see this journey through i think its a great achievement.

    Well i guess now yesterday was my second day of 30-day shred. I didnt get to the workout at the time i wanted. Had to do my motherly duty and work a fundraiser for my daughter. It was a lot of walking and standing. When i got home it was 11:30pm, as i was getting ready for bed, i started feeling guilty. Guilty that only the second day on 30-shred and i was already skipping a day. So i get out of bed at midnight and did my second day. Later today after i get some sleep and work, i plan on during day 3. Boy am i sore but my new motto is no excuses.

    Day 2 to me was worst then day 1, because i am so sore, going to stick with it.
  • smsavoy it is worth it,by the 3rd your getting in the flow of it, and by the 5th-7th youll be away

    Morning ladies - I was up early and I did day 2 - I felt it most in my biceps would you believe ? I thought my abs would hurt most but they are not too bad - I feel great now here at work but I am sure I will be real sore tmrw morning. Keep the faith - by day 5-7 we should be feeling better.

    I am not sure what I am burning so I created a new exercise for myself at 200 calories burned. I don't eat my exercise calories anyway so it doesn't matter too much - I am sure I am not too far out.

    See you all tmrw XXX Stay sane !!
