Jillian's 30 Day Shred

Woke up cranky and pms-ing, so did not want to work out! So I decided to step it up and if I can do it when I feel bloated and cranky I can do it even easier on a typical day! I officially completed day 4 of level one and I'm so glad I didn't put it off! The proud feeling actually boosted my mood, and have decided to still go to the gym after class for another butt kicking of 40 min elipitical and some strength! Feels great reading your guys posts knowing how you all step up when you don't want to! Real inspiration everyone!

I just bought this and will be starting tonight. For those of you who have been doing it for awhile, what kind of results are you seeing?

Great Job on keeping up with your workouts everyone!!! I'm taking tomorrow off, got my tattoo today and I'm going to give it a day to kind of heal up, I asked the guy when I could work out and he said tomorrow if I wasn't in pain I could. I dunno, I may end up busting it out tomorrow afternoon... anywho heres a pic of my tattoo, I love it!!

Thanks Dragonfly and Supermom for the encouraging words!

And Supermom -- LOVE the tat!

I'm dead even on weight, 2" smaller on the waist and 6pack abs. Doing weights and additional cardio too, but the shred is a huge part.

Mornin' shredders!

Level 1 day 6 DONE!

Definitely seeing an improvement in my stamina from day 1. I've been doing all the arm exercises without weights (I don't have any yet) but it's starting to feel like time to invest in a set. I didn't push myself as hard as I think I could have during the cardio today -- I'll have to be mindful of that tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my personal weigh-in day and I'm really eager to see what (if any) change the scale has in store for me! Haven't noticed any difference in how my clothes are fitting, but it is only the first week. Just gotta stay positive and keep movin'!

Have a great day, everyone!

Another option for weights are the small 16.9 oz water bottles. I started with them before I bought my handweights.

Happy Friday Shredders!!
Got home around 830p last night so it ended up being a rest night for me - Did 20min ABJam this am befor work and just busted out 40 consecutive full out "Rocky" style push ups onmy lunch break!! Considering checking out this "200 sit up challenge"- check the site if you're interested : http://www.twohundredsitups.com. Supposed to be a 3 day /week ab circuit.

Shredding on for tonight + 20min something else - will log in to confirm that level 3 day 9 is in the bag!!

I just bought "Jillian's 30 day shred" from Target and did it this morning. It is a single DVD. Is this what everyone is talking about? How does it work, exactly?

Yep - that's the one. You'll see a menu to choose workouts from - start with Level 1 and do it until you're ready to move up to level 2. It's intended for 10 days at each level, but i've heard from several who moved up to level 2 after only a few days on 1 (got bored).. I stayed on level 2 for well after 10 days... but that's the idea.

Oh, and just a tip - consider following along with the chick on the right (Anita) who does modified moves in the beginning to see how your body responds to the intensity of the exercises. I thought I was a badass when I started and did the full lunges, etc - and could barely walk for 3 days! Have heard of others on here with the same experience. So... might want to start easy and build up? Then again, more power to you if you can attack it head on. Good luck!

So I haven't worked out at all today, I feel like crud... I WILL get my Shred workout in though, I REFUSE to skip a day in december except Christmas. It is very motivating to read all of your posts! I WILL get my workout done before I go to bed!!
