Still on my fitness hiatus...it's been 11 some odd days. I need to redirect!! My belly is literally one of the last places I have extra to lose on my massive frame...other than the tatas.... and I'd like to keep the girls thank you very much!
Here's to finding the motivation in the next 24 hours to finally start Level 2.0 -
Started 30 Day Shred level 1 three days ago. got to watch my apetite as I started eating more from day one. I also noticed Natalie taking it easy when Jillian wasn't looking and immediately forgave her as it's so ****** hard.
Can't complete all the star jumps, skipping and but kicks yet but i'm sticking with it. Timewise, it's brillant as doing exercises without a DVD before was taking too long, so long, in fact that I gave up.
Heard about J.M. on this website, so thanks, everyone for sharing - MFP is so inspirational!!
Good luck and keep going.

Hi all, well my final day 0f 30DS was on 2nd June, 2012. I only took 1 day break & that wasn't planned, I had the intention of doing the full 30 days without a break but on my anniversary I drank waaay to much & just couldn't face Jillian the next day :sick:
Overall I have noticed a huge difference in my physical wellbeing. I have alot more energy, strength & stamina compared to day 1. I can lift my heaviest set of weights to do all of level 3, which I couldn't even hold for 30 seconds in level1 without feeling like my arms were going to fall off :laugh: I can do all of the cardio sections without stopping for a break compared to day 1, I needed to stop every 5 seconds for water & to breathe :laugh:
RESULTS.
~ Weight Lost - 11lb ~
~ Inches Lost From Body - 9.50 ~
Inches were lost from =
* Arms ~ Start: 12.50 / Finish: 11.75 ~ Loss 0.75
* Hips ~ Start: 43 / Finish: 41 ~ Loss 2
* Thigh ~ Start: 25 / Finish: 24.75 ~ Loss 0.25
* Upper Waist ~ Start: 33.50 / Finish: 31.75 ~ Loss 1.75
* Lower Waist ~ Start: 38.50 / Finish: 37.50 ~ Loss 1
* Chest ~ Start: 36.25 / Finish: 35 ~ Loss 1.25
* Bum ~ Start: 43 / Finish: 40.50 ~ Loss 2.50
I am very happy with my results to the point where I have had a 3 day break & started round 2 of 30DS this morning. I forgot how much of a killer level 1 is to your legs but overall I was happy with the fact that I never had to stop at all & could use weights throughout the workout
Keep up the good work everyone0 -
Has anyone else noticed the levels of aches and pains you go through as you progress through the shred. At first it killed my legs, for the first 2-3 days they were sore. That subsided and then it was my abs, even lifting up out of bed hurt my stomach. Now that has subsided and its my shoulder blades. I'm guessing that's from all the arm work in lvl 2, my arms are on fire during lvl 2 and its left my shoulders aching! Wonder what will hurt next :laugh:0

I am hoping to start 30DS tonight, I have had the dvd for just over a week now and must stop putting it off, the house work can wait. After reading everyones results it gives me the incentive to start. I really need to tone up and lose some inches
Good luck everyone who is still doing it and well done to those who have completed it

Hi,
Reading about 30 day shred for the first time, and wondering if I could have a little more information regarding this.
Think it's something that will definately help me.
Thanks

I just finished day one and o.m.g it killed me!
I feel like i'm not fit enough to do it! I followed the easier gal the whole time
: I didn't give up though.
Was it hard for anyone else too?0 -
Finished day 5 (I think, or was it 4?!) of level 2. My arms/shoulders/core must be stronger as I can get through the first 3 lot of planks without collapsing now. Major improvement from 10 seconds then collapsing! I feel like the rest of the strength work is getting worse though. My arms just give up on me on the squat row things (in circuit 1) and those v raises at the end are a complete killer.
I must be doing something right though as I did a little informal measurement and I'm down at least 1-2cm each on my hips and naval area. I'll wait until the end of the level to measure properly and do it everywhere - I'm thrilled though since I saw no change at level 1, just keep pushing through anyone else who isn't seeing change!
Oh, and thanks for that tip on trying to get my le to the opposite shoulder on the plank twists - I feel that a lot more now.0 -
Finished Day 8 of Level 2 today.Yippee - only two more days on Level 2 left. This round has definitely made a big difference to my upper body strength - and even if I don't end up losing any weight by the end at least I now have nice looking arms. I will measure again when level 2 is done and dusted.
It is funny. Usually I do my workputs first thing in the day but today I couldn't due to time pressures. The pre-shred me would have just called today a rest day, but I really really wanted to do it. As much as I suffer during - I love the feeling after.0 -
I finished level 1, and started level 2, noticed a horrible pain in my left foot and turns out I gave myself a hairline fracture in the side of my foot. So I've banished myself to my elliptical until this heals some more.
With the first 10 days down I already fit into pants a size smaller, and 2 inches are off my waist. I'm hoping I can get right back into it in a few days with a tension wrap on my foot, I'm missing it, and loved the results I was seeing after just 10 days.
The difference in how I feel everyday is insane. I'm so much happier, everyone seems to notice too.0 -
I had the exact same thing, I'll let you in on secret......Level 3 = sore knees. My god it hurt walking up the stairs, jumping etc i felt like an oap hahaHas anyone else noticed the levels of aches and pains you go through as you progress through the shred.

I rotate my workout videos so I only do the 30 DS 2x a week but I have been doing it for over 30 days and still on level one. I can't do the jump ropes and jumping jacks without stopping and I refuse to move on till I can. I also find it hard to keep going when she is doing the side lunges with the lifting the weights to the front to eye level.......it kills my shoulders.0
-
These results are VERY significant! The difference in the size of your hips is WAY noticeable and the muscle definition coming into your abs is inspiring.0

Lovin all the posts in this thread!
I've just done day 10 lvl 1. My legs are KILLING me :laugh: I'm thinking I might give starting lvl 2 a miss til Monday, and do some Just Dance instead, just til my legs feel a little better! I have to work all weekend and I really don't wanna be limping round like a cripple!!! :laugh:
I haven't noticed Natalie cheating! :noway: I don't tend to watch, I find it easier to focus on the floor!! :laugh:
So scared of lvl 2, I watched it today and just laughed all the way through thinking, how the hell am I gonna do that???!!! :laugh:
Good luck everyone, we CAN do this!! :happy:0 -

We're on the same day! Looking forward to starting levek 3, more than anything as I'm sick of doing the same thing over and over.0 -
Day 9 Level 2 done. It is such a hard level. My face is always bright red by the time I am done. I am praying to the fitness gods that there are no planks in Level 3.0

Im sorry to tell you this.......BUT.......There are lots of planks in level 3. I found level 3 alot easier to adjust to than level 2 though. Out of all the levels I just love level 3Day 9 Level 2 done. It is such a hard level. My face is always bright red by the time I am done. I am praying to the fitness gods that there are no planks in Level 3.0 -

Just curious, when the 30 days are over, should I expect to just gain the weight back if I don't do another few rounds?0
-
When the shred is over I was actually planning to go onto Ripped in 30 0
-
After seeing all these posts, I can't wait for my DVD to hurry up, so that I can get going.
Also decided that, whilst I am going this, I am going to give up beer too

Finished level 2 day 5 today - now I have kept it up for 5 days without any breaks. At level 1 I felt there was way too much jumping and my shins/calves were in permanent cramps. I did level 1 with taking a break every 2 or 3 days, for one day - just because I needed recovery.
On level 2 I find it a bit easier - I power through the planks (although I cannot do the pushups, for the love of god!), the only thing that kills me is the back-and-forth lunge steps and the shoulder pushes (both squat and military press-up). It is so painful that I feel like my muscle's going to tear - I just let my arms down for 3-4 seconds to regain power, although she says never to let them down
Ah well, can't have it all. I modify a lot still and follow the blonde girl - it seems to me as well that she puts a lot more effort into them than the other gal who randomly stops/cheats.
I'm going on a 10-day holiday end of next week to the other end of the world, so I'm a bit worried how to handle the 30DS thing, I was hoping I'd be through with it but I never imagined it to be so difficult. I hope I can still pick up where I left off, or just come back and do a few days of L2 before going on to L3.
It's absolutely fantastic to read everyone's success with the programme and it has motivated me greatly, sneaking here in the evening for extra motivation and success stories :-)0 -
I'm doing this as a hybrid with turbo fire0
-
I start tonight! So excited 0

I did day 9 of lvl 1 this morning. I'm trying to figure out if I'm ready to move on to lvl 2 after tomorrow's workout. I suppose I'll give it a try, but seriously, lvl 1 is still kicking my butt, though it is MUCH easier than day 1 was. Lol.0

I just finished Day 1 of Level 1. I'm glad I have found this thread.0

I am currently on day 3 of 30DS level 1. Its so refreshing to read peoples comments on here about when they first started having to stop every few secs to catch a breath and gulp down some water lol. I do pretty good on most all the exercises, but the push ups and the jumping jacks and jump rope are a KILLER for me :sad: I just have been trudging through it all and when I feel Im going to pass out due to no air or that my legs are going to give way on me and drop me to the floor I will stop for a few secs to try and regain some composure and then Ill get back at it. Im hoping as time goes on I will get better and better at it::)
Not sure what the girls name was...was it Amanda? who posted the before and after pics? I just wanted you to know that you may not be able to see a diff but I sure do!!!:) Keep at it and dont give up!!:)0
