30 Day Shred - June!

Well today is Day 1 Level 2....just need the courage to go do it!!! I think I am just going to go at my own pace with the moves and see if I can get through the whole 20 mins...here goes...

Well I got through Level 2 Day 1. Can't say my form was great, but I pretty much kept going except stopping for a quick count of 5 or so when doing the cardio twists ...... for some reason my arches are hurting with this level. Anyone else on level 2?

How do I log the 30 day shred???

I think a lot of people log it as circuit training, but MFP tends to overestimate. I use a HRM now and feel it is more consistent..

Day 9 of level 1 complete! Day ten is tomorrow, Friday is cardio, Saturday is a "rest" day, then I start level 2 on Sunday!

Funny thing happened today: My HRM usually says I burn between 330-450 calories each time I do the shred but today it said 262 calories in 26 minutes. I didn't do anything differently, and have upped my weights to 4lbs, so I was a bit disappointed. Then my husband asked what was wrong and after telling him he said he was watching me and he noticed a huge difference between now and when I started and said I made it look easy (as I'm dripping in sweat!).

I'm feeling stronger and noticing changes in my body so guess what? I'm moving up to level 2one on Sunday :-)

this will be day 3 of level 1 today, iim dreading doing it tonight my muscles are on fire lol ! hope it starts to feel better soon ! onwards and upwards though

Thanks for your help!

So had a rest day yesterday making today day 9 of level 1. Although I wouldn't call it a breeze I can now get through this ok and will be ready to move on to level 2 on Friday. For the first time ever I can feel my push ups in my stomach ( I think this means my technique has been wrong for years- cheers Jillian for sorting that out!).

LOL I loved when I read you could feel your pushups in your stomach because I finally could too and I was like .... hey that must be doing something ha ha.....did level 2 day 1 tonight. Hope I can pick up the intensity as I go...."proceeding with Caution" lol

I did the exact same thing last night! My husband told me I was poking my butt to far up in the air...and when I realized that I really noticed it in my abs!

Question for everyone. I've been entering my Shred on here as 20 minutes of Circuit training but I wore my HRM today and it said I burned 240 calories in that time. Which do I go by?

Level1 day 7 done! I put my own music on today and it was so much better!! I also stopped doing it in the morning. I can't get the motivation to get out of the bed early enough to work out then shower then go to work. So evening it is. I'm liking that much more!

I also just completed day 7. Are you seeing any kind of results? Just curious because I feel like maybe I have some water retention?

I'm doing day 7 of level 1 today! I'm scared as hell to get into level 2 as i've heard its the hardest of the 3.
i dont know if it's a good or bad thing that i'm not sore anymore after my workout. the first 3-4 days was absolute killer, i could barely move and i had shin splints. now after only 40 minutes of resting after the 30DS, i feel fine.

another weird thing, is that i'm doing pretty well at completing all the moves successfully, but as soon as i get into the first set of the punching, i get really nauseous and have to stop for a drink of water. i've never been able to finish that first set of punching either.

From what I understand you should use your HRM, the MFP numbers are only estimates and how much you burn depends on your weight, fitness level, etc.

I just don't want to input too many calories if I haven't burned them... I'll see if i burn the same calories tonight and see what results going. Thanks so much for the reply!

hey sounds good. Just saw this post. I bought 30ds last month and did it every other day for 5 workouts all at level 1 ...then life got in the way...still exercised but didn't do the 30ds. i'd like to try this out...

I'm doing day 7 of level 1 today! I'm scared as hell to get into level 2 as i've heard its the hardest of the 3.

Me too, just finished day 7 this morning and found myself thinking about level 2 (fearfully). I guess since we are thinking anything but "someone kill me now" while doing it we will be ready to do level 2 - good luck and keep in touch.

I finished day 7 of level 1 last night and I am so scared to hit level 2!!! I haven't peeked yet...I'm worried.

Hi,
My HRM logs the time as well as calories burned. So when I go to log I enter the time from my HRM, then I backspace the MFP calories burned out and enter my HRM calories. MFP is always quite a bit higher....

I'm not seeing too many physical results, I feel fitter and my endurance is much much better than day 1. My husband said I looked like I had lost weight, but in the mirror I feel like I look the same lol

Today was level 1 day 8 and I got through it no problem, lots of sweating but not out of breath at the end like usual! Yay!!
