30 day shred

Hi!

I'm onto day 15, and have missed about 7 days in total (technically started 21 days ago or something!). To me it's made a big difference to my core strength and arm strength, and I do feel like I've lost a bit of weight. However, I haven't really been changing my diet so I haven't expected to lose an awful lot, but have lost 4lbs since I started!

I think any exercise makes a difference inside even if not outside, and although if you did it more often you'd see results quicker, twice a week is definitely a lot of effort, Jillian Michaels is hardcore!

Watch your knees - I have had to have a break cause mine hurt so much....im pretty sure it's my own fault not using correct form. It's great though lost 2 inches from my waist and hips in the first 10 days - cant wait to get back to it.

Definetly the knee thing! All those lunges really have to be done with good form and even then you may still get a little sore in the knees.
If you do get sore knees, take a break for a few days, I unfortunatly learnt the hard way last year when I pushed too hard and ended up in agony for weeks on strong pain killers. Listen to your body and you'll be all good :-)

I started day 1 yesterday and omg my legs hurt so much. Walking down stairs has been so painful today. I had planned to do day 2 today but decided to wait til tomorrow (fingers crossed). It is meant to get easier apparently. Good luck.

Call me the newbee! What's the 30 day shred?

its a fitness dvd by jillian micheals off the american version of the biggest loser, its a really good workout, x

I second the knee comment. Jumping + repeated squats and lunges without take a day or two off caused me to stop for several days. Now, I'm more or less doing it every other day because I'm being careful.

I love this workout because you're drenched at the end and feel so accomplished.

I'm starting tomorrow too! Good luck to us both

I agree with the knees... My left knee won't stop popping since I started..On day three (I think thats when) I pulled my thigh muscle.. It was extremely painful. Had to get ben gay and sleep with the heating pad..

And i'm on day 7 lost 6.6 pounds since i started.

Day 8 tomorrow along with running in the park (weather pending)

I'm 5 days in (I am doing it daily thus far) -- I actually had soreness in my elbow (couldn't fully extend it), but nothing I couldn't push through. I can see results in my core even at this early stage. My legs don't hurt much -- but I am on my feet and walk for work - so I am guessing level 2-3 will be MUCH more challenging when it comes to lower body.

I just finished day 15 and I can feel my body getting stronger. I started Level 2 after about a week of doing Level 1. I think Level 2 is a whole lot harder and I'm not very good at planks, so I wanted more time to work on level 2. Hopefully, after doing level 2 for 2 weeks, I'll be ready to advance to level 3. I like it because it's a short workout, but it works my whole body and I'm dripping in sweat afterwards. However, I do get a little bored with doing the same workout every single day. After I'm done with 30 Day Shred, I think I'll try Insanity. I'm also running 2-3 miles most days before the workout.

I am doing 30 day shred since Feb 2012. I had to skip little over than month during march april becuz I pulled my shoulder muscle really bad doing house cleaning. So overall, doing 30 day shred from last 3 months. I am trying to loose my post preg weight. I was 143lbs when I started and now I am 127lbs. This workout definately helped me but I am also watching my diet and eating time as well which is extremely important to loose weight.
