Hi Ladies,
It seems like many people, myself included, have started the 30 Day Shred within the last few days. I thought we could make a post and keep each other updated on what level we're on, and how we're doing - and of course, help each other keep motivated when we just don't want to do another video!
I started yesterday, Feb 3, and this morning I completed Day 2 of Level 1.
Where are you ladies at? Are you in for this challenge?
(You don't have to have started yet to join - jump on the wagon and let's see where it goes!)
I just started too! You're right, lots of people have just started. I finished day 2 of Level 1 yesterday! I was going to do it this morning but I am soooo sore! Man, that stuff really gets you going! I didn't think I was going to be so sore, but my goodness! This morning I just did sit ups because I don't think I'm going to be able to do the shred until tonight.
I'm trying to watch what I'm eating but some foods are still so good! My thought is, if I'm staying at the same weight with me eating the foods I am...then I should be able to work out & lose some weight...hopefully. But, I'm not following that completely. I'm trying my hardest to eat "healthier". I want to be toned for my wedding next month & for my honeymoon!!!
I'll jump on board! I think it's a great idea to have one centralized post where we can talk, I've noticed it gets a bit spread out over other topics.
I'm on day 17 of the Shred, and still at Level 2. I missed my first day of it since beginning last night, but I did ride for an hour and do some cardio later. Today I'll be back at it!
I know what you mean about food - I feel like so much of it is portion control (which I am not very good at...) At least I feel like with the Shred if I'm eating like I normally do, something GOT to happen...right?? ;)
I'm with you ladies! though i had to take a break from it - but i'm back on the saddle tonight!
Haha yes @eriqua, something has GOT to happen...or hell it better! :) I hate being sore but OHH I loveeeeeeeee to know that I worked!
@PrincssDva - the 30 Day Shred, a 20 minute workout video with Jillian Michaels from the Biggest Loser. It's great!
I'm on Level 2. No idea what day I'm on because I don't do the shred everyday. I'm doing it 4-5 times a week and I'm also doing the c25k, so that takes up my other days. Sometimes I do them both on the same day. I've been doing my routine for almost 4 weeks now. Between running and the shred, I've definitely noticed a difference in how toned I am. I'm also dieting and have lost a few pounds as well. I tried the Shred November of last year without dieting or running, and I did get stronger and my arms got toned, but I didn't lose any weight. I definitely think some sort of diet is needed to see a change on the scale with the shred. Happy shredding everyone!
I am on a 30 day shred strike. Wish I could join. I loved it, was really feeling the workout. That was until an injury from the Shredder. Good luck girls.
Agree with Boston Bee on the dieting thing to loose weight. The shred is awesome to tone...I'm a big foodie by the way, so just simple things like cutting out the snapples and cokes I drank every day, switching from maple brown sugar oatmeal to regular, eating a bit healthier, and cutting down on the drinking, has already dropped me a few pounds.
FYI, if you need a change in the Shred routine, there are FREE exercise shows on Comcast (on demand) including other Jillian Michaels stuff. There are also some good kickboxing/cardio workouts by Jeanette Jenkins on there that I like.
i keep seeing everyone's posts about the shred, i think i'm going to go to borders during lunch today and buy it (yay 33% off coupon!). i've started going to the gym almost every day about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and i can see a little difference so, but not much yet, so maybe mixing in the dvd will help!
I finished Day 3 last night on level 1! I love it! Though, after the first night, i started muting the TV and listening to my Pandora station which I created to play Broadway/The Beatles/Disney Movie Soundtracks. Best station ever. Makes it easier to get through for me. Anyone notice that the girl on the left sometimes thinks the camera isn't on her, so she stops doing whatever the move is? Gave me a good giggle. :)
Haha @mrs: I did notice that the last time! They were all supposed to be squatting down doing some type of exercise, and she stopped for a minute and just stayed squatted with her legs bent, without doing the exercise! Haha, I thought that was funny!
I just got the Shred in the mail yesterday along with No More Trouble Zones. I've done shred before "on demand" back when I had cable and it kicked my butt so I decided to order it along with the trouble zones video. I'm starting it tonight, going to do the shred 5 times a week and Trouble Zones 2 times a week.
so i've done two days so far, and I got through it and was feeling good and then all of sudden my legs, like weren't working - I guess this is kicking my butt!!
I just started it yesterday! I was skeptical that I could actually get a good workout in 20 min, but damn! It is intense! Hoping to go home and do it again tonight before dinner with friends (so I don't feel too guility about that glass of wine tonight!) Good to see we are all sweating through it together! Good luck on your fitness endeavors ladies!!!
I got the shred yesterday. Gonna start it this weekend. Hopefully it can help to tone my arms and get rid of the tummy. I'm excited though!! Let's keep each other motivated!
I just started 30 day shred yesterday! I'm going to try and do it 3x a week and run/elliptical the other 3 days. I didn't think it would be that hard but I was definitely working up a sweat! I'm looking forward to doing it again tomorrow.
Love all the ladies doing the 30 Day Shred - - - I am on day 4 of level 1 - I will admit i did it two days in a row and then took a day off, haahaahaa I am SORE!!!! I can't believe how this 20 minutes makes me feel - I have been sick for the past 3 days and no joke doing it makes me feel better!!! Its all about sweating it out. After the 20 minutes I take our dogs on a 30 minutes walk!!!!
I am excited that everyone else is doing this too! I started on Sunday and haven't missed a day yet. I didn't know if I would be able to finish it, but I have every time I do it. My biceps have made a come back which makes me happy, now I am waiting on my stomach to disappear.
Day 2 of level 1 completed...along with everyone else I am so freakin sore, but in a good way. Good luck everyone! :)
I have done the shred level 1 3 times this week. I am going home to do some wedding planning this weekend, but I am hoping to get e out of the 3 days in. I brought the dvd with me and my sister wants to do it with me.
So is the 30 day shred worth it?? I've been doing well on my own, but I feel like I need something to kick my ass into high gear.
I bought the Video Download of the 30 Day Shred this morning, excited to start it tonight! I don't really have much weight to lose, but I'd like to tone up for the wedding & honeymoon :) I have 6 months to go, so it can't hurt to try this for a month!
Just started today - and my poor arms!
I have to wonder though - they say it takes 20 min of cardio for your body to actually burn excess calories. I'll probably supplement this with my usual running schedule, for strength and toning.
We'll see how she goes though :D I do like Jillian, she's a fantastic hard ass - just what I need!
level 1 day 2 completed. today will be day 3. i was really sore on day two but i really am not today. what other workouts are you ladies combining with this? I have just been doing yoga and walking. open to other great ideas that helps get faster weight loss results :D
I've been doing some extra cardio, and my normal horseback riding.
I've also been doing some of the moves from level 1 just to keep toning and seeing results.
Today is level 1 day two! I have been doing P90x but this is WAY better!! I'm excited to see the results!!
Day 2 of level 1...wow. I can't believe how intense it is! I was able to make it through without stopping today, which I couldn't do the first day. It feels so good to push myself though!
I just bought the DVD after reading this thread...hope to report back soon!
tried to do my third day of the shred level one today and got really dizzy and thought i was going to pass out. I felt sick before i started but i did not think much about it. I was just in the 1 set of abs and seriously freaked out. i thought i was going to pass out. I dont know what my deal was...turned it off and layed down. kinda scared me. I ate plenty today so i dont know what happened. guess i will have to get up early tomorrow and go to gym and do the shred :D
Has this happened to anyone else?
It happened to me once when I was shredding really late at night. I was already a little tired and headachey, and it was on level 2 where there's a lot of up and down with the walking push ups and whatnot. I have low blood pressure anyway, so I'm more prone to feeling faint. I took a break and then kept going and I was fine, but I probably shouldn't have... I'd say, in the future just make sure you're well-rested and your blood sugar is high enough before you start.
I've been alternating the Shred and Boost Your Metabolism and have seen a change in tone, especially in my arms and legs. SO hard - "I want you to feel like you're going to die"
@bostonbee - how do you like C25K? Have you seen weight loss from it? I've been toning a lot but haven't seen the numbers on the scale, which can be frustrating
This is very inspiring, I was thinking about buying it and you all have convinced me that it's not just my imagination or the commercials hard at work. Looking forward to updating with my own Shred status. :)
I just got up at 5:20 am to do it - the male roommates prevent me from doing it after work.
Day 2 of level one, and I am way more sore than I anticipated that I'd be. My energy level is through the roof though. :D
