  • I need to get back at it as well, I rested my foot, then got to not feeling well. Time to get serious again.
  • Shop around, we found a great machine for under 700 doing that. We bought ours from a local cycle who also sold fitness equipment, they were getting rid last year's models to make room for new ones.
  • I say just pick up where you left off. That is my plan. If not I may never finish this thing! LOL
  • I plan on getting back on track today, my foot is feeling much better. I will probably go light on the jumping moves however, especially if the foot starts hurting. I do the elliptical as well so I should get plenty of cardio in.
  • Im pretty sure I have not lost any weight, however I am also pretty sure I have lost inches because my close are getting loose. From what I have read, people tend not to lose a ton of weight (unless they have a ton to lose) on this, usually they lose more inches which is a big reason why I did measurements!
  • It definitely gets easier as you go! The first time I ever attempted this I could not even get through day 1 the first time, so I started counting days when I finally muscled through the entire video (which took three attempts). This time with the exception of the push-ups (which are getting easier) I can go the whole time.
  • Yesterday I rested, but then realized that I should not have been trying to push through the pain. My right foot was all swollen and sore all day! :( Going to rest again today then try again on Monday I suppose.
  • The best way to tell if you are well hydrated (and hydration can come from foods just as much as it does liquid), is by the color of your urine. As crazy as it sounds, pay attention the next time you use the restroom, the clearer and lighter the better. On the surface it would appear you are not drinking enough water, but…
  • I wont critique but mostly because I do not "eat clean" and really dont care too! LOL I think as long as you are happy, and it falls within your goals, go for it. I gave up trying to stick to a certain "diet" because it never worked for me. I just eat less, although I have to be careful to make sure I actually eat, or I…
  • OK day 3 is officially done, I think I definitely need to get some heavier weights for some of the moves!

  • I am trying to get in 30mins each day on the elliptical, but that is kind of hit and miss.
  • Day 3 is officially done for me now, I was traveling yesterday so there was no time for it so I rested, although I did do a couple jogging sprints at a rest stop on the way home, I was getting stiff from all the sitting in the car. Today was better, and no real pain since I rested yesterday (which made it easier to muscle…
  • I was traveling yesterday so took a rest day (which due to pain was much needed ha!) I will be doing Day 3 today, no way I will attempt level 2 just yet. That will happen after 10 days of level 1, or when the soreness goes away, or the boredom prevails!

  • Yesterday I stayed moving most the day until evening so the soreness did not really kick in till late, today I have been fairly sedentary just because I hung out with a friend and we just sat and gabbed all afternoon while the kids swam... At this point I am wishing I would have swam with them! OUCH!

  • Im not sure what you mean by prorate?! I still plan on doing 10 days of each level. Even though it is called 30 day shred, from everything I have read, rest days are intended to be in there.

  • I am wondering as well, initially I was wondering how long the show could go on if she is only in for 15 months, either way she should be ending up with more time now! Crazy.
  • Day 2 was a little rougher for me, but that is mainly because I am a little sore from yesterday. Endurance wise it was a bit easier, I was not panting nearly as much! :blushing: I too struggle with the Push-Ups, i've always hated those things!:grumble:
  • Rily I agree with jogging in place, that is what I do with a lot of the jumping. I started feeling my workout last night before I went to bed, pretty much at the point I had quit moving as much for the day. I took some ibuprofen, and crashed out. Woke up this morning a little sore, but muscled through Day 2! Depending on…

  • I would get bored out of my mind doing 1 level for 30 days, I struggle to get through the 10. I am planning to do each level for 10 days, and then I will look into another work out video probably. I really like the 30 day plan (there are other 30 day workouts), keeps it changing often enough I do not get too bored with the…
  • I have 2lb weights right now.
  • When I first started it the very first time I did not have weights at all, I still did the movements, then I added cans! :) I think some weight is better than none. PS I found my weights at the dollar store! No joke! 2 bucks and I had weights!
  • I measured my left arm and thigh, my waist and hips in addition to my weight.
  • Does the university have a daycare? I am in school full time, as well as a mom to 4. I plan on hitting the gym before or after class at school. Yes if I go before that will mean I will be sitting there all nasty in workout clothes, but who cares I will be fit! :) Thankfully my kids are all in school full time so I have a…
  • I dont think modifying the jumping jacks and such is too big of a deal. I may be completely off base, but it is the cardio portion, so I think even more importantly it is important to keep moving and keep that heart rate up. :smile:
  • Day 1 done! YAY! :) Much easier now that I am slightly more fit and 20lbs lighter. Last time I attempted this I did not even finish day 1 the first time. As for logging, I think most people do it as circuit training or high impact aerobics. This is a big reason I want a HRM so that I can better track calorie burn.

  • Weight is 167 currently (although may be a little more since ive eaten like crap the last several days). Measurements are as follows: Arm: 12.5in Thigh: 25.5in Waist: 39in Hips: 44in
  • This is basically what I have read about logging it, that is the one problem with it. And A big reason I really want an HRM, since many of the exercises are not always accurate in regards to calorie burn (which is a big reason why I think some have trouble losing weight on here, their calorie burns get over calculated so…
  • SW: 188 CW: 167 I also like measurements, especially with this program I don't think weight alone will give you the overall results so here goes in inches: Arm: 12.5 Thigh: 25.5 Waist: 39 Hips: 44
  • Basically you do each level for 10 days each, you do take rest days. I started this last year but did not finish it after we had a death in the family. I got through level 1. After the first workout I was really sore, so I did day two then rested a day and did three more days. I will probably do the same this go around.
  • Good job pushing through, the jumping always worried me too! I tried to do it "softly" but let's face it, not easy to do!
