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

wow, well done! you can most definately see the difference!

Just finished day 10 of level 1. I can't see a big difference in the way I look yet, but I feel a difference already and it's amazing! I'm more aware of my abs mostly. In a good way. Lol. I'm not sore for hours after every workout either. It's a good feeling. That keeps me motivated to keep at it even though the outward results may seem slow in coming.

Just found this thread

I started 30 DS again after having to stop working out in April due to massive headaches D; But I've been consistent with it since June 1st. I will do Level 1 Day 8 later this afternoon..

After my shin stops hurting from my jog/walk earlier

Didn't post as soon as I did it but day 7 of level 2 done. My arms are still hurting (8 hours later!) but I'm so proud of myself for making it through ALL the chair squat/arm raises. OK, so I did them Anita style but I was beginning to wonder if I'd get to day 10 without managing it. My upper body is definitely getting stronger which is great. I've lost about 6lbs so far this level - hope when I measure at the end of it I've lost the inches to go with it, I know my jeans are fitting better and my sports bra doesn't seem as supportive as it did!

My weight hasn't changed at all in the last ten days, but I'm so excited to report that I am currently wearing a skirt that I haven't worn since before baby one was born. It fits! I got it buttone up and zipped and everything! Woot!!! I didn't really notice a difference in my appearance at all until I looked at my before and after level one pics. My stomach is already looking a bit more defined! Can't wait to start level two tomorrow!

Congrats on the NSV guys ^^ I just finished level 1 today =D So I hope I can survive level 2 tomorrow... I am still weak in the upper body O.o

Hope level 2 went ok for you. My upper body strength isn't great but level 2 is helping that a lot! I can feel a lot more definition in my arms and have gone from barely being able to hold myself up for 1 round of planks to being able to pretty much all of them (have to drop for a few seconds on the one after the chair squat/v raises as my shoulders buuuuuurn by then).

Finished day 8 level 2 today and made the mistake of watching level 3. I think I might actually die! I was exhausted even watching it.

Day 3 of Level 3 done. Hooray only 7 more days to go.

Haha! Too funny but yes, I notice it every single time. I was irritated at first but now it's just funny to me. :laugh:

I use three pound weights.. and the arm moves still are hard for me O.o So I think if I ever do 30 DS again, I will upgrade to five pounds weights.

Day 1 of level 3 done. Wow, that's tough!

I managed about half of it no problems (and was into Natalie mode) but other bits I really struggled even with Anita. Main issue is my wrist. It just really doesn't like/do certain angled without giving up on me and leaving me yelping in pain. Main issues were the ab hold/planks where I just couldn't find a way to get 'comfy' doing it without my knees or arms grating on the floor or carpet and scraping. My wrist won't support me enough to do it just on my toes. Well it will, but only for 1 or 2 then I'm out. I'd rather do the adapted but do more of them.
Other main area was the 3rd circuit strength moves. Again, because of my wrist. There's no way I can support myself on it to do the rotating pushup things. I might be able to hold myself in plank and do that instead but I'm not sure how my wrist will take it. Failing that, anybody have any good suggestions? I don't want to just have to miss level 3 out. 2nd exercise was also a killer, that's mainly due to me needed to work out the best way to keep hold of my dumbells while doing the move. They were cutting into me and hurting like mad so I barely managed any. Doing it totally upright on my toes was out for that as well as the angle holding them at with my bodyweight was hurting. I'd been doing pretty well so far fighting through the pain and doing adapted stuff but I'm just trying to think of solutions that won't be too much of a change.

Finally started the 30 day shred. Did level 1 day 1 and honestly it wasn't that difficul. Looking forward to day 2. I'm so excited and can't wait to see the transformation in my body at the end of the program. Yaaaay!

I am a newbie to the 30 day shred and going to try it out tomorrow for the FIRST time. Can anyone tell me if it genuinely worked for them?

JUST finished day 1 (Level 1- with the "modified" versions, where available). Already took an Advil as I finished about 30 minutes ago and some of my muscles are still twitching. :blushing: At least I know it's working!

I'm on Day 8 and, YES, it has definitely been working for me. I have lost 2.8 lbs so far and have shed 0.75 inches off each of my arms, 0.50 off each of my thighs, and 0.50 inches off my belly. I am also feeling more energetic and stronger and am now more toned...but all that is not just from doing the workout because I have also been eating healthy. At first, the workout may seem nearly impossible to do every single day, but once you begin and commit yourself to it, you can do it!
