    This really sounds like the motivation I need to to get a kick start!

    I already have the dvd and have tried it a few times but never stuck to it.

    It's going to be difficult to fit it in in a fortnights time with work but at least for this first two weeks I have no excuses!

    Can I join please?

    I'd like to join too.
    I have never done JM 30 Day Shred.
    I hope I can add it to my usual gym routine. I am not a self-motivator, so I need your help to get me through it.

    My weekly workout classes at Gold's Gym =
    - Monday: Muscle Conditioning
    - Tuesday: Turbokick
    - Wednesday: Zumba
    - Friday: Body Pump

    So I'm supposed to do the 30DayShred everyday, yes?

    Yes, I took measurements. I also took pictures this past Sunday. Looking forward to some progress.

    Thank you,
    Amanda

    Hello! I will join you! I just bought the DVD yesterday. I am so excited and anxious to get started but I worked out pretty hard at the gym yesterday so I'm really sore today :smile: So I think I'm going to preview the DVD and follow along as much as I can today and then tomorrow get serious with it! I'm excited hopefully we can keep eacother on track with it? I need someone that will call bull---- on me as I am the master at justification lol.

    Good Morning My Shred peeps!!!

    I am sorry I had to recreate a new group, Yesterdays was just not working at all.

    Well, my video didn't come in the mail yesterday, so I went Geocaching for an hour yesterday instead. The one my son & looked for was deep in the woods. I did lots of climbing over big fallen trees & balanacing across branches so I wouldn't fall in the mud. I'm pretty sore today so I guess it makes up for it for today. =) The good news is that we actually found the Geocash! :bigsmile:

    (Sorry for double posting - not sure which one to post in)

    Could someone help w/ my question:


    Done w/ my Day 2.

    Questions for those who has done 30DS before and is in good/great shape: when do you move to Level 2?

    I don't find Level 1 easy, but even using 7.5# dumbbells, I don't feel sore at all.
    I read about other people's posts about feeling it in their quads or shoulders etc, but I don't feel any, especially not any good soreness.

    --> When should I move to Level 2?

    I thought to stick w/ Level 1 for at least 7 days to make sure that I can do it every day, instead of dreading the tough workout which may persuade me to not do the workout.

    Thanks for your insight.

    I did Level 1 this morning (1st time), what a great work out, though those jumping jacks and push ups are the devil! Lots of reps too with the weights! OMG! But I enjoyed it.

    I go to the gym 5-6 days a week and typically work out at home on rainy days, weight lifting days and if I'm in a conflict with scheduling so unfortunatley I wont be doing 30DS everyday :-( , but will surely keep it in heavy rotation with a few of my other at home work out DVD's. So I guess that means I can't join the group huh??? I love JM, she's a beast!:smile:

    I'd love to join too, I actually started on 4/30. Question for everybody who does it everyday though, how do you work through the soreness? Wednesday should have been Day 3 for me, but I was just too sore. Will do day 3 today, Thursday. I think I'm going to aim for 5 days/week anyway, since my work schedule makes working out everyday unrealistic (16 hour back to back night shifts at least once a week)

    Day 3 on level one. Dang pushups get me every darn time! I will defeat them one of these days and get through the whole set without modification. Anyone else notice that Natalie cheats when she thinks the camera is not on her. Love that I am not the only one :laugh:

    Day 3 done, and this is my REST day (no other workout). Yay!
    I may die tomorrow when I do day 4 before my intense body pump class. Hopefully my husband knows CPR. :)

    Can you do 2 of 30DS workouts in 1 day?
    We're going camping this weekend, so unless I drag my butt out of bed at 4am to do day 5 (we're leaving at 6am), I'm thinking I'll do Day 5 and 6 on Sunday (one in the late afternoon and other in the evening)?

    thanks.

    Done w/ Day 4.

    I really like this 30DS, because I was kinda dreading the workout this morning as I was starting it. But then I remembered that it's only another 15minutes or so and I'd be done. That notion really helped me do it, and once I started, it was nice to work out, and to know that I'll be done w/ my workout already.

    Well, off to my Gold's Body Pump for some heavy lifting!

    Keep up the good work everyone!

    Yay! I was able to do my video today! Ran a mile yesterday with no additional knee swelling or pain, so I gave the video a try today. I did level 2 and while it was hard, it wasn't any harder than my first day of level 1. It will be interesting to see if I am sore tomorrow.

    Great job everyone!

    6/30 complete!:happy:

    1. The one time I saw her "cheat" is during the lunge/bicep curl part, where JM is w/ Anita (or whatever the other girl's name is), and you can see Natalie in the background in a standup lunge mode, but just doing bicep curls.

    2. Hey, you're doing something. Keep up the good work. Be sure that your form is correct, so that you don't injure something and get the most out of your workout. So if you need to drop those weights to keep your side lunge (while sticking your butt back - so your knee does not go over your toes), so be it!
