30 day shred starts today!

I started on April 1st and haven't taken a days rest. The first 3 days I had to take Motrin 800mg. because I thought I was going to break. Finished level 1 this morning and I am still sore, but I'm not going to quit. I know tomorrow (starting level 2) is going to be hell and I'll hate Jillian even more, but I have to finish the 30 days and prove to myself that I can do this. Took pictures and measurements the 1st day. Planning on doing it every 10 days to see if there's a difference. Hope to find the courage to post pic's.0

Level 1 Day 9 finished. The cardio and leg work aren't issues (shin splints aside) but I feel like my upper body strength is regressing! I still have to break a couple of times for the girly press-ups and I've only upped my free weights for the chest Ys and dumbell rows. Really want to move onto Level 2 on Friday, but should I be doing it if I'm still using baby weights?0

Ah jeez after being a bit rubbish with this lately and being too sore to actually move I am doing day 7today. STILL need to buy a sports bra though, but I refuse to pay £30 for one and all the cheap ones are to small
so just gonna have to stick to wearing two bras lol!!
Hows everyone doing?

Sounds like everyone is doing pretty well. I plan to move to level 2 tomorrow. I, too, at times feel like I regress a little on certain parts. Some days the cardio seems really easy, and other days the weight moves do. I recently moved up to 5 pound weights and am struggling with those, but now that I have done it a few times I don't want to go back. I know it is all about pushing yourself! I am having to get up really early to get this done before my 2 year old is up and we are all getting ready to leave the house in a rush. Stumbling out of bed and straight to workout is a little harder than I thought it would be, but I can feel results already. So I will keep it up!0

I think so about moving up. I am struggling with my heavier weights and not able to keep up all the reps (especially on the side lunges, I drop one weight and just do the lunges for a rep or two) but I still plan to move up. It is all depending on how you want to do it. I may not use weights the first day on level 2, and try and master the form and moves first. I am not the most coordinated person so this helps me.0 -
Hi,
I'm at D06L02 and loving it.
Already lost 16cm (~6.3 in).
I can see differences in the shape of my body. I'm loving my new butt :bigsmile:0 -

Awesome! I notice small differences in my stomach and legs. I can't wait to see thigh/butt differences!0 -
Hi everyone hope you don't mind me joining in?
I'm on level 1 just completed my second day there & phew I feel wrecked. Was really sore from yesterday but thought i'd push through it& am glad I did.
Hope your all doing well& please tell me it gets easier??
My profile pic is my before pic, lets hope there's some diff in the after :-)
Anyone who wishes to and uses MFP everyday feel free to add me& we can help each other through this ahem 'experience' lol0 -
I just started yesterday, 4/10/12. I really liked it however the worst part for me were the lunges! I hate lunges, but they work! Lol my quads aren't really sore but they feel like jelly, like my legs want to give out...must be working!

It does get easier! My legs were so sore the first few days, now not at all. I kind of miss the leg burn because my legs need so much work!0
-
I am starting tomorrow hopefully when the DVD arrives from Amazon! Would love to hear how you get on!0
-
So today will be day 5 of level one for me! I am using 5 pound weights, so the side lunges are killing me and my arms are not completely straight, but I finish them!
Yesterday the scale finally dropped a little over a pound. The first few days I stayed the same or went up a little.
I am planning to do this everyday for 30 days and do each one for 10 days. I am not very sore, my arms were for the first day or two. But I have been doing EA Sports Active 2 for the past 11 weeks and I was SUPER sore for the first 3 weeks I did that. So I think my muscles were pretty well warmed up!
I am currently about 167 pounds and count this as 180 calories burned, but my HRM should be arriving soon so I will reassess then!0 -
My weight also went up and just came down about day 7 or so to where I was when I started. I think that is pretty normal.0

Hi guys,
Is shred a DVD program you are following? Does it also have diet plan with it? sounds interesting and 20 minutes is something I could fit in. Thanks!
Kristen
It's actually closer to 30 minutes...between the warm up and cool down you are pushing 30....27 minutes to be exact. But whose counting????0 -
Lol the bicycle crunches!! While the girls demonstrated grace and control, I demonstrated flailing and exaggerated facial expressions
hahaha.....this is ME!!! I do the sammmme thing!!:ohwell:0 -
I am on day 3 level 1 and loving it! i do have some soreness in my arms, mainly from the side lunges and vertical raises. I am very excited to see everyone's results

Hello All... today will be my 3rd day of level 1. I am loving 30 DS! As of yesterday I have also decided to do a 30 min. kettlebell work out with it on three days a week. Last night was the first time that I did both and my body is hating me today!!! Tonight will be a relief to just do 30DS.0

This is my second time trying the shred I'm on day 3 level 1. I'm sore but going to keep going want to complete the program in 30 days. So definitely can use the support! Good luck everyone!0
-
This is my first time trying - i'm only on day 2 but I'm gonna give it a good go. I hope I keep it up! I'm also training for a 10k so following a training programme for that. I've found I can't run in the morning so Im going to try to keep up the shred in the morning and running at night.
Feel free to add me anyone that's doing the Shred! Good luck everyone!!!0 -
Hope your all doing well& please tell me it gets easier??
It gets easier!!!!
First 5 days of each Level are PAIN.
After that it gets better 0 -

I just finished level 1, day 9 and I'm already seeing changes in inches, my clothes, and on the scale! I'm excited to see what happens after 30 days!! I'm going to be starting level 2 on Friday, and I'm nervous because I feel like I can just now get through all the exercises on level 1 without taking a break. I take one day off a week to rest, otherwise I'm just going to power through. I'm so motivated by all the before and after success stories with this workout!0

everyone seems to be making great progress... am I the only one who is putting on weight?!
Ive been under my cal goal every day and yet I seem to have put on about 3lbs! Also havent noticed any difference in my shape, but maybe im not looking enough
Im feeling really down about it tbh since the boyfriend does no exercise and eats whatever yet is losing it.0 -
I started 30 day shred two days ago. Today I did level 1 day 2.
After day 1 and day 2 i feel sore in my thights and back. To be honest, I cannot walk, sit or do anything else:D But it gives me motivation because my goal is tone legs and belly. Well, and lose weight :} I hope I won't lack the motivation with all of your help!!!0 -

Humm,
Why are you bellow your calories? You should eat them!!!
Don't look at your weight. Take measurements. I only lost 0.7lbs but already lost 6.3 inches and my butt is so much better.
I took before pics also, and next week I'll compare to check if i see any differences.
We can't compare man and woman weight loss..., so don't compare yourself with your boyfriend 0 -
I must try this. I need some strength exercise added to my routine. I am looking for any support our there. Send you friend request.0

Does anyone have pain in the outside edges of their feet while doing the 30DS? Mine is really painful during, but goes away within an hour or so after the workout. Could it be my shoes?0

I've had that a bit too... I've tried it with both pairs of trainers I have and barefooted to see if there was any difference and there really wasn't... I credited some of it to wearing heels at work a few days in a row. I'm on day 10 of Level 1 and the foot pain has subsided quite a bit... But, I think the pain from my shin splints may just be over-riding it 0 -

Im not hugely below them, 1600 a day and I exercise around 500, sometimes more sometimes less... I eat a minimum of 1200 but I struggle to eat more, im trying foods that are healthy but high cals like nuts.
I should get a tape measure to be honest most people go on about inches instead of weight.
I dont like to compare but since hes doing naff all and eating whole packets of biscuits it just makes me think "why bother" lol
