30 day shred...help!!!!

Hey sweets!! Don't worry! Everyone is different, all you need to do is stick to Level 1 until you can build strength and feel comfortable progressing onto Level 2!

Good luck

Yeahhhh..... I did 30ds before I'd lost any weight and was on level one for a few months. As long as you are getting a good workout- getting your heart rate up, sweating, etc, I wouldn't worry about being on level one. The thing that counts is that you're working out! Keep it up- it will eventually get easier

My problem was the soreness and I just gave up.....I got to level 1, day 3!! I am going to pick it up again, and I am going to get through all 30 days!! I need tips to get rid of being sore. I went hiking this weekend and am so sore right now. I am hoping if I continue to push myself through the soreness, I will start 30DS again!!

You can do it! As long as you keep moving and just doing modifications it counts!

I'm on level 2 day 6 and I think it's been over a month! I am determined to finish this because I don't remember ever finishing a workout program. Even if it takes me another 2 months I will finish this.

i did level 1 for about a month take your time if you need

You may surprise yourself! Give it a go! If it's too hard, go back to L1.

Another tip....I recommend easing in to level 2, by alternating it with L1 for a bit. I found it to be really hard on my knees the first time around (and have heard many reports of others saying the same thing) and still have issues with one knee now, 6 months or so later. So just mix it up for a bit first, and modify moves if you need, then hopefully it won't be a problem for you.

Happy shredding

I am on level three and it is HARD! but it took me a lot longer then 10 days to get to level two, also i "skipped" quite a few days in between. but either way, it is a great work out and just keep at it whatever pace or level! once ou get through the 30 days you can just use it as a workout video.... good luck girl, keep it up!

I usually just modify! Like others have said sometimes I also will run in place, instead of the jumping ropes. I am now on level 3 and it is still very difficult! But honestly just push through it as much as you can. I never do 100% as they do in the video, but I give it my all, I may take a slower pace, or break on a few during a circuit, but I just finish with my head held high knowing that I did what I could. Don't beat yourself up to much about it! Truly just do what you can at your pace and pause it if you have to! I do then resume when your ready and give it your all, again! What I started doing was challenging myself, to see how much farther I could push myself each day, I would try to do better the next day and so on. Sometimes I do better at the planks then I do in the cardio section, everyday is different

It's been a month and I'm almost done with level one. I don't do it consecutively though. I do it 2-3 x a week like I would normally alternate strength training. She says in the intro to move on when you are ready, in fact I never even heard it mentioned that you are supposed to do it every single day, but awesome for people that do. I like mixing it up and letting my muscles recover. I wasn't sore when I started the shred. After the first 5 times, I moved from 3lb weights to 5 and then was sore but the soreness only lasted a couple days. Epsom salt baths help. I was doing strength training before and use a lot of muscles in my work. All the jumping is killer though, knees and bladder. lol

that's where I got to! Was so sore I thought I had torn a muscle in one of my legs... even had to quit running and other workouts for a while to heal. Back to the other workouts, am planning to do the 30DS again today, then will restart my running when the soreness goes away.

Yea that's not being sore. That's being injured. Quite common in these sorts of things where exercise is used to try to lose weight.

Just push through and work through the soreness. I am on level 3 day 6 and I am still doing modified. I don't feel bad about it because my results so far are amazing! Just do what you can and keep your heart rate up.

so I been doin it for about 1 week and its still really hard...I can do all the moves but not as long as they do...I know your supposed to do it for 10 days then go to level 2 but I don't think I will be able to do level 2 if I can't hang with level 1...what do I do?????

I'm going through my second round of 30 DS. I too was in the same position as you. I decided to push myself and go onto the next level (level 2) after the first ten days. You'll be fine, keep it up, you'll be a lot stronger than when you started if you keep it up.
