    How does everyone log it? I am not sure how many calories I burned so I guesstimated low.

    Hola,
    Did my Day 1 of JM 30DayShred - level 1 (after 1 whole hour of intense TurboKick) so now I am starving!!!
    I am trying to do heavy lifting, so I used 7.5# each dumbbell.
    I was tired from Turbo, so I only did 1 set of military pushups; other pushups were on my knees, but that's okay.

    What I really need help is to be able to do this everyday for 30 days on my own.
    I am GREAT with gym classes where I push myself as hard or harder than my classmates - so motivating!
    But when it comes to being at home and doing it by myself, I just have trouble getting into it.

    About myself: I am about 3-5pounds from my goal weight. I need to tone up about 3-5pounds, so I will be okay if I don't lose the weight but just tone up instead. So I needed something to kick it up a notch.
    Being short, every pound shows! Ugh.


    Thank you,
    Amanda

    Finished Day 2 Level 1 today. It was easier today than yesterday. Legs are a bit sore. My knees are killing, and I can really tell going up and down the stairs in my house. I plan to do this along with some treadmill or elliptical. I'm shooting for every day, but I work 12 hour nights midweek and by the time I get home,I'm wiped. Hopefully, I can work up the energy for Jillian. I'm sure I can.got my pictures and measurements all ready!

    Hello All,

    Couldn't help myself, but I got an early start last night. Sore this morning, but feeling really good about it. Can't wait to hit again this evening when I get home.
    In Miragirl's intro (read it if you are new to this), she says...I can drop a dress size. I'm not sure my wife will want me wearing her dresses, but i'm all for losing the inches and weight.
    Good luck to all and have fun!!!

    Hahahaha... I fixed it :laugh:

    Day 1 and I already got fixed! Dang, this is a tough group....and I thought JM was tough.

    BTW...am I the only guy in here? Just curios. Is muscle confusion technique is hard for any gender.
    See you every day until we reach 30!

    I read on another board to track it as 20 minutes of circuit training.

    So I am just about to do my 2nd day of ripped in 30 and I wanted to let you know that the workout recomendations on the dvd are to progress through the levels at your own pace (there are 4 in this one) and to workout 5-6 days a week. I plan to do cardio on the off day, will shoot for either 5 or 6 days of Jillian! That should be plenty!! lol
    See you all on the flip side- sweaty and out of breath!

    Just completed Day One, Level One. I am astonishingly out of shape, LOL! However, I got through most of it without crying or throwing up, so that in and of itself was a victory. I did have to modify quite a bit just to keep going, but I'm optimistic by the end of the 30 days I will be able to do the entire Level One without stopping.

    That is my goal. I guess I'm going to log it as 20 mins circuit training, as someone here suggested.

    Thanks and we'll see just how sore I am tomorrow:noway:

    I just finished the ripped in 30 week 2 workout. I figured I'd switch it up and do week 2 today since I did week 1 yesterday and then I won't be doing the exact same workout 2 days in a row. I've done the week 1 a handful of times and I'm doing pretty good at it so I thought I give week 2 a try. Boy does that suck! Sorry but it kicked my butt and I couldn't complete all of the circuits without stopping for a few seconds, also modifying about half of the exercises. But I did it! I think I will try to switch it up every day. Boy week 2 makes me miss week 1 lol!

    You can do it! It will get easier the more you do it! Don't worry if you have to stop a few times, catch your breath then get back to it!!

    Glad to have found this group! I did my first two days last week, then didn't do it over the weekend. SO...I'm just going to call this Day 1 and commit to getting all 30 days done this month. I tried it a few months ago and almost died! Couldn't move very well at all the day after. This go around seems to be a bit better...still very much so a killer, but I'm hoping and praying to see results. Day 1...Level 1...DONE. :)

    Anxious to see how you like Ripped in 30, as that will be my next purchase after I'm able to commit to the 30 Day Shred. :)

    Just finished day 2. Very hard, but still easier than yesterday. I did measure and take pictures so I cant wait to see mine and everyone elses results. I walked 30 min yesterday after doing day one, but I didnt today. Did a lot of walking this morning while turkey hunting, but forgot to wear my HRM :-/ looking forward to day 3 :)

    I am so jealous! I think I am going to try level 1 again tomorrow without the jumping jacks, subbing in another cardio interval. Took a 25 minute power walk to and the knee is no worse for wear and back of knee is not hurting. I have to try. I really have missed it and I did 5 days lol!

    Great job to you all. I can't wait till we burn up these message boards with all of our awesome pics at the end of the month.

    Hi Everyone! I started last night so tonight will be D2L1 for me after the kiddos are in bed. I actually started the shred Mar 9 and did it for 16 days but I have a compacted disc in my back and it was really bad so I had to stop for a bit. But I'm back and so excited! I had AMAZING results from the 16 days I did it before. Crossing my fingers my back pains won't come back. Definitely take before pics bc you will be in shock at the difference in your body! Good Luck!

    I started off with 10lbs yesterday. Big Mistake! Moving onto 5lbs and then hopefully get up to 8 lbs. Arms are still hurting and Day 2 begins in one hour. Wish me luck!
