Beef jerky.

I am 52 and I am working on it. I started seriously working out for the first time in years in mid February. So far, I am losing and toning and my strength and endurance have increased. I have about 10 to 15 lbs to go.

Woohoo! Great job. You are on your way to where you want to be.

Wow, great results!

I started back with working out in mid February, I haven't done much of anything besides walking and bike for a couple years. I started out with Daily Burn True Beginner and it was just what I needed because it is a gradual intro to squats and lunges etc. I did that for a month then tried some of their other workouts but…

Looking great! All that hard work is paying off.

I am gluten free, can't tolerate wheat. No official testing done I just feel better without it. I had severe food allergies as a child including to wheat and milk so even though I officially should have "outgrown" that I have a problem with those. Feel free to add me.

Since I started several days before I found this group, I am a little ahead. I started level 3 today (day 1 level 3) I personally thought it wasn't too bad compared to level 2, less shoulder burn. But I used lighter weights (3lb) and did the modified version of some moves. There are some killer burns though, I thought the…

Finished level 2 day 10 today! Yeah no more level 2, I hate those plank twists at the end I still needed a 5 second breather there. Onward!

Blue tortilla chips. Idk why just the blue ones!

I would be interested in a Ripped in 30 group.

Baked sweet potato Popcorn Eggs. They fill me up for a long time.

I have a t shirt that I usually give a little stretch to before putting it on so it fits, today I thought I would put it on for my work out and it hung loose with no pre stretch!

Female age 52 Height: 5' 3" Weight approx 144 Goal weight 125-130 I don't use a scale, I hate it. My highest weight has been hovering at around 155 for about 10 years since the birth of my daughter when I was 40. Before that I maintained at around 135 but felt heavy there. I think 125 is a reasonable goal. So about 20 lbs…

Today is level 2 day 7 for me. I am still motivated, finding that I need one rest day every week.

I really like your post and "ode". I often use my clothes as a sort of scale as to where I am at weight wise. I seriously can tell my scale weight by the way certain items fit me, lol. Great job on your weight loss, very inspiring.

Hi, since I started the shred several days before I found this group, I just finished day 5 of level 2 yesterday. It does get hmm not easier but less tough after a few days. I had to take a rest day after the first day of level two because my shoulders were so sore, I did light cardio that day. Yesterday, on day 5, I made…

Yes it is an app, I am not sure if you need an amazon account or not.

If you have amazon instant video you can download it for 1.99

Hansonian, as far as rest days you have to listen to your body and do what is going to work for you. If you need two rest days to make sure you finish the whole program then why not? It's all about finding something that works for you to maintain the habits of exercise and fitness. I happen to hate running and machines and…

Well a lot of course depends on your fitness level when you start out. I had not worked out much beyond walking and bike for a year or more, then I started Daily Burn, True Beginer in Feb. It was a great bridge program for me because I had never done any sort of lunges or squats. Anyway, I began 30 day shred on March 26…

Great! Nothing like seeing results, and that soon. Congratulations.

I took Monday off from shred. I did level 2 day 1 on Sunday and my shoulders were sore all day yesterday. So, I did JM kickboxing instead and some walking. Ready to get back to 30day shred today with level 2 day 2. (I started this on march 26).

Hello, I started the shred on March 26 and yesterday, April 6, was my first day of level 2 (I took one rest day after day 5). I agree that the arms and shoulders get the most of the level. I woke up this morning with a really sore upper body. I am 52 years old and just started seriously working out again in Feb and I had…

My main criticism of 30day shred is there is not enough stretching. I need to stretch throughout the day at short intervals to keep moving. I am 52 years old and if I just stop after the DVD I would not be able to move for days. I suggest find a good stretching routine. Just five minutes here and there throughout the day…

I struggle with lower back problems and have for years. I literally was on the sofa for weeks with pain. I know everyone is different but it really helped me when my DR advised me to get up and walk as much as possible to strengthen my muscles esp my abs. It helps me a lot whenever my back flares up I walk as far as I can…

I needed a day off after 5 days. I started on March 26 and a few days later found this group. I just finished day 10 today. Don't feel bad missing a day, listen to your body. I really needed my rest day and I don't regret taking it.

Wow, that's great. You are really motivated and inspiring!

Well, I did my first nonmodified one yesterday and hope to keep getting stronger with them. I am hoping they are gone in level two though. By the end of that set of push-ups and squat presses my shoulders are burning. In fact right now that is where I feel the most muscle soreness from this program. It feels good to get…
