30 Day Shred.....Lets Support Each Other!

hi guys--i'm doing 30DS as well, started on Wednesday.

Question for you all--how do you track it in exercise? I don't have a HRM. Do you consider it circuit training? Aerobics?

Would love to hear your feedback--I'm still very new to MFP!

Thanks for your help!

Yes I log it as circuit training and it gives me a burn of 140 calories. I do this from reading how other people log it without having a HRM.

Level 1, Day 3. Much better! I only took 2 very short breaks, one probably 5 seconds and one even less just to grab a quick drink of water. I did modify on the jumping jacks in Circuit 3 because the bottoms of my feet are bugging me. Sometimes I want to punch Jillian when she says "400-lb people do jumping jacks"! Maybe... but not going to push myself into plantars fasciaitis again. I also wimped out on a couple of the reps with weights on the side lunges. When it comes right down to it, I cannot believe how far I've come in only a few days. Looking forward to a rest day tomorrow. We will be out of town over the long weekend. I'm hoping to try Zumba while we are gone since the wife of the family we are visiting is a Zumba coach. Should be fun! I'll be checking back in on Monday or Tuesday.... good luck everyone, keep up the fantastic work!

I have a polar FT4 HRM with the chest strap. I always burn over 200, mostly around 280-315 depending on how much I put into it and get my HR up. I think it varies drastically by each individual though. None the less, it's a great workout and you are going to see great results!!

You have inspired me to pull out my dvd and start this back. It killed me the first time and I quit after about five days. I cannot do push ups and found myself still struggling after five days.

I have done A LOT of modifying.. I had to and I have still seen great results!!
I do not go all the way with the push ups, I go the Anita route on those in level 1 and on level 2 & 3, I can only do so many plank moves before my back tenses up so therefor I modify, def do not go down on those planking push up deals, my arms are getting strong from the military leg and arm move in level 2 and then level 3 moves, instead of plank jacks, I do more jump n jacks and I do not do jumping lunges I do regulars. Just do what you can I am determined to finish level 3 even though I modify A LOT, at least I can say and show I finished that way others will be motivated You CAN do this!!

Day 9, level 1 done! I'm so ready to move on! My knees are feeling a little better due to a really good move that I discovered that really gets all of the quads, down into the knee where I have been so sore! To those of you who are almost done, Congrats! I wish I had kept up with it from the beginning of the month, because I would be done too! Oh well, life does get in the way of things sometimes!

Alright, so I need a little push.

Yesterday I had my heart ripped out of my chest by a guy. Now, I'm a tough broad, but let's just say, I didn't shred yesterday and I'll be honest, I don't think I'm going to today. (I did go to the gym yesterday and get beaten by my trainer before the **** hit the fan, but not shred...) Still, my thought is keep busting *kitten*, get gorgeous, meet soul mate, live well, get the best possible revenge when he see you skinny and happy.

AND On top of all that!! My result for just the end of level 1 were

-1 hips
-1 belly
-.75 waist
-1 bust
-1/4 arms
and I am now down 4lbs.

In ten days that's amazing I think... still couldn't make myself do it today. So yeah! Kick me in the butt guys, please!

If your fabulous results were just from 10days, think of how you'll be once you finish it out!!!
Awesome.
You can do it!


I did my Day 24 level 3 this morning, and then went walking for 1mile (my easy day).
I do it in the morning, so I get it out of the way and done w/, so I feel good all day, w/out it nagging me (if I were to wait until night time or something).

This is my second try at the 30DS....I think I went out of town the last time and was never motivated to restart. So, I'm just curious: are you going to do this EVERY DAY for 30 days or how do you plan to do this?

My regular schedule has been work in the AM on Tuesday and Friday (waitress/server) and then after I get home walk two miles and then run one more mile. I haven't got my run in yet today because I needed to mow the lawn but plan on doing so in about an hour. I will switch it up on the weekends as to which day I walk/run the three miles depending on what is on the calendar and I have to do.

So, let me know if you are planning on EVERY DAY or another schedule.

BTW--I KNOW I'm stronger than I think but I was ready to KILL JM halfway through! I thought I was going to die!!! LOL

im on level 3 now, its a lot, but feel fabulous after.

What are people gunna do after 30 day Shred? another Jillian DVD or......

I own the Ripped in 30 and the Maximize collection, but I might go right to the No More Trouble Zones DVD and work out some of those spots that I would like to get sleeker. All of these are JM DVDs.

So I just started (or attempted to start) the 30 day shred today. I am in my last days of a cold so I tried to start today but am going to wait until maybe Sunday when I am 100%. I have small question though. I am hoping it's just because I am sick but I had to stop for a couple breathers (more than 5 seconds) I know she says to push through since it's only 20 minutes or you won't see the results but if you physically can't do 20 minutes straight and take maybe a 1-2 minute breather is that bad? Like you won't see results or not as good results?
