30 Day Shred in May
I'm planning to do Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred in May. Anyone wanna join me?
I read somewhere that Jillian actually recommends not doing the program every day but to alternate it with a cardio workout and to include rest days, so that is what I am going to attempt. (2 days of 30DS, 1 day of cardio, 1 rest day, 2 days of 30DS, 1 rest day) |
Starting weight: 175.2
Pants size: 9/10 Waist (at belly button): 34 Stomach (above belly button): 34 Belly (below belly button): 38 Hips: 39 Chest (below bust): 34 Bust: 42 Thigh: 19 Calf: 13 Bicep: 12 Forearm: 9 |
L1: D1 (May 3)
I did it I did it I did it!!! Of course, I wanted to hurl a hand weight at the TV when Jillian said we were doing jumping jacks for like the 20th time. I survived, though, and it really wasn't too terrible. I'm gonna feel it in the morning. I'm sure of that. |
L1: D2 (May 4)
I didn't feel as bad this morning as I thought I would. But - woa - did I ever feel the burn while doing the workout for Day 2! Totally doable, however...ow. Also, I hate jumping jacks. Hatehatehate. |
Hmm, I'm tempted! Last time I did the 30DS I had hand weights, which helped. I'll keep ya posted :)
|
I'll join you, will post stats in the morning :)
Will be doing shred 5x week and on alternate days extra 20-30 min cardio sesh |
Thanks for joining in souvenirdarling and aliciaf1! :wave:
souvenirdarling - If you've done this before, it should be eazypeazy. I'm using 3 pound hand weights. aliciaf1 - Wow, not even one rest day? You're a beast! Funny thing this morning. I woke up, rolled out of bed, and was halfway across the room to turn off the alarm when I realized I was feeling all kinds of hurt. (Not horrible but certainly intense.) That'll wake you up right quickly. :lol: Not certain what I'll do for cardio today. My thighs and abs are screaming for mercy. |
My stats on D1:
Weight - 164.9 Pants size 8 Waist (at belly button): 36 Stomach (above belly button): 34 Belly (below belly button): 38.5 Hips: 40 Chest (below bust): 33 Bust: 38 Thigh: 25 (widest part) Calf: 16 (widest) Bicep: 13 Forearm: 10 (widest) First day of shred, level 1. Needed some water during but otherwise good. 10 pushups each circuit. And I am taking 2 days of rest from shred - but I at least walk/jog everyday with my son in stroller now, so i am hoping i can keep that up! |
Wow, our stats are so similar aliciaf1! That should make it really interesting to compare how this impacts each of us.
Go you on completing Day 1! :broc: |
So glad we can hold each other accountable!!
|
For my cardio I did a Leslie Sansone 1-mile walk video. I wanted something low-key but that was too easy. Oh, well, at least I was moving, right? :shrug:
|
I don't know much about the video, but always good to ease your way in. Now you know for next time!
|
Level 1 Day 2:
12 pushups each circuit. Not really sweating too much, gonna try to do more reps and harder on cardio! |
Quote:
I think maybe because the cardio is not intense and prolonged, you won't sweat much? I guess it depends on the temp of the room where you're working out, also. L1 : D3 is on my agenda for this afternoon. And I was finally starting to not be in agonizing pain. *le sigh* :lol: |
Think of how good you will feel after!!!
