30 Day Shred?

I did it for a few days and found the exercises easy even though it's non stop (that's what wore me out). Why not have a 30DS for April Challenge?
I would sign up!0 -
Oh, and CLEARLY noone gave an option for jumping jacks and the jumping rope thing to the moms that have had multiple children. Just sayin'....0

I am on day 8 of level 1 of 30 Day Shred and I LOVE IT! I was feeling the effects on my quads and knees up until day 4 and from then on I have been good to go. To the person who asked about the affect it would have on ankles - I broke my ankle 5 years ago like literally demolished it, and I have had ZERO issues with my ankles and this work out DVD... however this is just me and I realize we're all different. I will say I used "biofreeze" on my quads from day 2 on through day 4 and that helped as well as going for walks to break up the uric acid in my muscles that were aching... I also started to drink a muscle repair shake after the DVD which may have been a fluke but helped with the muscle soreness as well... (side note: will be switching to chocolate milk in aiding my muscle repair after this shake mix is gone as everything I have researched says it's just as good as any repair mix out there..) I have not skipped days and am doing it straight through - I had aches and pains but worked through them and rested when I needed to during the workout. I have seen results in only 8 days - not so much on the scale as everyone else has kinda mentioned, however in my clothes it's like ****a whole new world**** <---- sung like Jasmine from Alladin.. In my opinion I say get it, do it, friend me, and we will do it together for support, and I am sure anyone else doing it would friend you as well. It's $9 at Target.. what do you have to lose besides inches

I like it... alot. I think it is effective and Jillian Michaels is not annoying to watch. It is 20 minutes, so it's do-able even on the busiest of days. By day number 5 I noticed a difference in my belly, which is not very long to wait for results. Good luck!
I'm with you 100%. I am on day 25 and love it so far. I still have that tummy flab but it's going down AND the I can feel the muscles underneath. I haven't gotten board with it and I'm really liking all the levels. It's also easy to fit into my busy day. I didn't do before pics because I didn't want to see them lol but I'm starting Ripped in 30 after this so I'll take them for that. Good luck!
HAHA REALLLLY?! She annoys the snot out of me. I have a few of her DVDs. I just can't listen to her when she starts going, "COMEEE on, you can do it, push harderrrr, I know it hurts, but you want to be in that bikini don't you.....5 more.....push..." I seriously want to vomit on my tv. SOOO, to combat that, I watch her for a few days on each level, figure out the moves, then I mute her and blast Pandora during the work out from there out. I seriously hate her voice.
Additionally, I would recommend 30 Day Shred then Ripped in30. Ripped is harder.
Inches are better than scale! Scale lies! Remember that!
Final results of 30 Day Shred-Inches lost:
2 1/2 off waist
3 off stomach
2 1/2 off hips
2 off right thigh
1 1/2 off left thigh
1 off right arm
1 off left arm
2 1/2 off bust
Total weight loss: 4.4 lbsSounds like I will be buying the DVD tonight
I still don't understand how everyone loses inches and no weight?!? But hey I will take the inches any day! lol.
You lose inches but not weight because muscle weighs more than fat. So, you displace fat with muscle, which weighs more. The more muscle you gain, the more weight you gain. If you do lose weight (many don't), you lost more fat and gained less muscle. if you had lost less fat than you gained muscle, the scale would have went up. Take measurements. That's your best friend. A pound of muscle takes up 1/2 the space a pound of fat does. That's why you lose inches but don't lose weight on the scale. YOU DID LOSE FAT THOUGH! So, winnnnnnn! This is also why body mass index and body fat % based on height and weight are SOOOOOOOOO incorrect. I can weigh 125 lbs and be solid muscle or 125 lbs and be all fat. Therefore, using height and weight is irrelevant to how much body fat you have or what your BMI is. Just a few things to remember. (I'm only slightly under the "overweight" 25 BMI for my height, but I wear a size 0 in work pants and 1/2 in jeans. Yeah....0 -

LOL! Right!?!?! It's like "Floppy McFlopperton" all up in there!0 -
DO IT!!! I've been doing it but I am honestly getting very bored with it. It is still a great way to jump start your exercise routine.0

Exactly! I started my working out last summer by doing this to get in somewhat shape and to condition myself a little, so I didn't look like an idiot at the gym. I did Couch to 5k after that to lose another 5 lbs!0 -

Same here. When she says "You gotta put some stress on your body" I seriously feel like my entire body aches. I mute her!0 -

I just had my second surgery to repair my ankle back in November. I cannot do squats, I will pretty much not be able to do that move ever again. So I do have a limited range of motion.0 -
Thank you so much for all of the replies! I am going to do it and I am pumped about it!!! 0

So when I go buy the DVD I need to buy weights (3 lbs for this beginner!!), anything else?? I will be doing it on my front room floor, it has "carpet" if thats what you call it, but its crappy and hard! (gotta love a rental home!)0

I LOVE JILLIAN-I have been combining the biggest winner 5 disc cd with 30 day shred and ripped in 30-I do them 3-4 times a week. I have had nothing but success with Jillian. I like that the workouts are quick and you get a good workout, calorie burn ( i usually burn between 250 and 300 calories per session). It sounds like you are sold on getting it (good!)-just wanted to co-sign. Have fun with Jillian!
On another note about muscle weight and fat weight-I saw this post from someone a few weeks back and swore that I would share it every time I saw someone say that muscle weighs more than fat .
Anyhoo these are not my words but I am supporting his cause by spreading his words as they are true:
''Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat. They weigh the same.
I'm going to keep blasting that everywhere until every single MFP user gets it! (Sorry - but it's driving me BONKERS).
One pound of muscle and one pound of fat weigh the exact same amount - ONE POUND. The difference? One pound of fat takes up much mroe physical space than one pound of muscle (lean) does. So - although you might drop a few pounds of fat, you're probably gaining a few of muscle. This means the number on the scale isn't changing much BUT your body is getting smaller - fat is shrinking, muscle is leaner, pounds are equal. ''0 -
I did it several months ago when I was too busy to go to the gym and I like the convenience of doing it at home for just shy of 30 min. per workout. It does provide results and after the first few days on a level, I wasn't too sore, but would still break a healthy sweat and feel the burn. I esp. like the workouts because I'm not very coordinated to keep up with a ton of moves. I was able to keep up after a day or so and didn't feel like I was studying the moves instead of "doing" them. I too have some issues with squats, and jumping. I tried to take it easy on those moves, but made up for it in other areas where possible. I was getting ready for my wedding at the time and wasn't consistent, but am going to try it again. Best of luck to you!0

Same issue here w/ the carpet - so I just toss down a fleece blanket for when I have to do my girly push ups... otherwise you're good to go for now 0 -

Oh my gosh? So does the second surgery mean that the first one didn't take well? Scary! I feel for you... I have been there with just one surgery and it SUCKED. I have only worked with level one so far and there is a fair amount of squatting and or side lunge sqatting for lack of a better word, but I can only imagine that any sort of work out DVD will have that - you just do what you can, and Jillian even says "Do what you can..." Sometimes I have to stop half way through some of the exercises because it starts to haunt my dreams but all in all I think this DVD is worth it as there are plenty more other exercises in it that you should be able to do. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ANKLE!0 -
It's really hard. I've only done it a few times. I tend to yell at Jillian and call her names as I go. lol I haven't made it past level 1. Get it from Walmart, they have it cheap there.0

Muscle doesn't weigh more than fat...a pound is a pound is a pound. Muscle is just more dense than fat. Therefore, a pound of muscle takes up less room than a pound of fat...which accounts for you losing inches but not weight. If you put a pound of muscle next to a pound of fast, the fat takes up more space. The fat loss is great with the Shred so you'll lose those inches.0

Ha! Thank you!! I posted before seeing your reply. So many people still believe it weighs more for some reason!0 -

NO MAAM! You should be doing them male style! Even if you can't do them all! Before I started doing Jillian, I couldn't even do one. By the time I finished, I could do sets of 20! DO THEM THE RIGHT WAY! :huh: :huh: :huh:0 -

I fully understand what a pound is. maybe...i didnt word it correctly or as in depth as some. yes a pound is a pound. muscle is more dense. i am pretty sure that everyone understands that a pound of fat is equal to a pound of muscle. just less dense. 0 -
I love it! I am on day 7. I do this with 30 mins on the treadmill as well. I am still losing 2 pounds a week, but I have lost a lot of inches From doing the 30 DS.0
-
For those of you that have done 30DS how hard on you ankles would this program be???
Well you do a lot of jumping jacks and jump rope moves...so if your ankles can't handle that, then I would modify it when it gets to the cardio part of it.0 -
Honestly I'm 18 days in and have seen no change but I LOVE the workouts. They are challenging. They make me sweat like crazy and I feel like I've DONE something, even if it's just a 20 minute workout.
Not sure what results you're looking for but if you just want a good workout I'd give 30DS a try.0 -
And to OP, definitely take pics and measurements before. That would be a good way to tell. But I recommend doing this with some other cardio. I don't think it's enough by itself. Since it is only 20 mins.0
-
I've been doing it and will be moving on to Level III (I took a few days off when I lost power) But I can tell you that once I finish the 30 days..I'm restarting it again..I LOVE IT!! Best 20 minutes and my husband does it with me..by day 17 I lost 8.5 inches off my body. I don't get on the scale because honestly I just care about the way my body is shaping up. It's tough but really pushes you!!0
-
Sounds like I will be buying the DVD tonight I still don't understand how everyone loses inches and no weight?!? But hey I will take the inches any day! lol.
I think why people lose inches and not weight is because you are building muscle and muscle weighs more than fat I have been doing level one for a couple of days and it's tough but getting easier It's good 0 -
I am on Day 27. I did each level for 10 days before moving on. I took measurements at the half way point on Day 15 and I had lost a total of 5 3/4 inches!!! I was so excited. I will take my "after" bikini pics but not sure if I will be brave enough to post them on here and I will take my after final measurements too. I am anxiously awaiting The Body Revolution! Can't wait to get started.
Last night I also did Extreme Shed & Shred, it actually wasn't that bad. I did it immediately following 30 Day Shred and I could complete all of Level 1.
I love Jillian's RESULTS, maybe not her personally though!! 0 -
I love it so far, I've done level 1 5xs in the past 8 days and noticed that i'm lots stronger than i was from day 1. I totally recommend this workout.
