  • Loved it! Went for a walk after too :)
  • I am very excited for tomorrow! I will only be doing this 4 times a week (but may increase if I feel the need to). Rest days will be dedicated to C25K. I'm hoping both will whip me into shape by June 1st... and then June 30th!
  • It all depends on your current strength and how you'll progress through RI30. For me a light weight is 3lbs and heavy is 5-8lbs depending on the exercise. Try dumbbell rows or curls with a lighter weight and see how many you can do until you're sore. If you're feeling it around 12reps, that's light. Burning up at 6reps…
  • In! Super excited, especially due to positive reviews and this promised extra stretching time!
  • Congratulations everyone! A couple of coworkers told me I was looking good and weight/inch lost was noticeable!

  • Day 2 level 2. I took a few days off here and there because of too much pain but doubled up on some days. I'm not logging the workouts anymore though, using TDEE method now and I factor in my exercise into that. Motivates me more :)
  • Agree - "How has your workout routine been going" would be the best option. It shows interest in what she's doing yet is respectful and shows your payinv attention. She may even be happy! It is validating and she may ask for advice, giving you an opening to suggest MFP or a different routine. Definitely not "Have you…
  • Take a day or two. I've noticed that people who are injured cuz of the shred will either make it worse by not moving (esp with back pain) or come back way stronger, w/ more stamina. Don't worry about taking 2 days off, but if you can, try starting up from where you left off no later than day 3. I would also keep doing…
  • So I accidentally used a 7.5 and 10lb weights today (thinking they were 5s and not understanding why it was a million times harder! But I got through it. Lost 2.5 lbs and am about to measure! I stopped logging my exercise because I don't like having and extra 630 calories to eat back on high intensity work out days.…
  • Agree!!! I feel like if I sit for longer than 10minutes at any time after doing 30ds, I'm in pain. Even 8hrs later... stretching, walking more, even hopping on the elliptical for as little as 5min helps tremendously!
  • Just finished day 6. Took a rest day yesterday which was necessary. My shins hurt a lot less! I think I will need a weekly rest day , which is how Jillian apparently meant it to be.
  • I went to sushi last night, and was sure to see a 2lb gain despite doing the shred. Lo and behold, down a lb! My dress pants for wprk were pricey (for me) so im extremely happy that now they fit even better than when I first bought them! They were getting tight :( huge difference in my thighs too!
  • I put it under circuit training. Some people wifh HRMs base it off those as well!
  • Great to know! Congrats on it getting easier :D
  • Today is day 4 for me but wow am I sore. Zumba last night made a difference .noticed mid-way through I really felt like stopping but after repeating "1 more circuit, 1 more" to myself I felt better. Not sure I'll be moving to level 2 day 10. When Jillian says "those who are on day 5, 6 or 7 probably notice a change in…
  • Today's day 3 for me, I'm a Sunday-start kind of person. Couldn't even sit down without pain! My lowers body definitely feels it working :)
  • Not at all! I just started today and it`s tough but you feel it. The importance is to not sacrifice form. So don``t worry about keeping up AS much, pay attention to HOW you`re completing the exercise. For those who`ve done it, what exercise did you log it under?
