A new Shred? HOW EXCITING!!! I skipped yesterday (my back hurt too bad) plus I went out with some friends to watch LeBron's Decision (being an Ohioan and all).... but today I am back at it L2 D4!!! I feel like my body is already a completely new body! I can't believe I am able to do some of these moves!
Just coming on here to get motivated! Going to workout @ 11 PM, YIKES! But I am determined to not quit this...so it'll be L1 D5 for me! Stay strong over the weekends ladies!
L1 D6 completed. I am actually able to do the Anita push ups now for almost the whole circuit. My hamstrings are still pretty sore but the rest of me feels fine.
Nurse2B -- Looks like we're almost exactly in the same day and level!
Update: yesterday was weigh day and the first day of level 3
weight loss: 4 pounds!!!!!! yay
level 3 boooo im not liking all the jumping and it takes up more floor space than level 1 & 2 but i will continue regardless the end is finally in sight.
i really wanted to give up last week but im so glad i didnt, we all need to keep each other motivated!
Here's my 3-week check-in. I've been doing 30DS 3 times/week in order to fit in running at least 4-5 days/week. Also, when I do it daily it still hurts my ankles a bit so this seems to be my happy place. I guess I'm doing the 65-day shred!
I definitely see the difference in the way my clothes fit. I wish I'd done measurements before, but I can see it especially in my waist. I'm naturally pretty muscular so it's starting to make me look a bit burly in the shoulder area, but oh well - blame those pushups!
My weight loss has been steady but oh so slow. I've lost 0.5 pound/week for these 3 weeks, and that's with LOTS of exercise and good calorie counting, averaging 1450 calories/day. Darn scale! At least the 30DS is doing wonders in the toning department.
You guys are not going to believe this. I have done 8 workouts straight of Level 1. My weight hasnt really budged since 7/7 BUT:
I've lost 2 INCHES off of my hips!!
1.25 inches off of my stomach
And 1 inch off of my waist in 8 days!!
The only time I've ever 'melted' like that is when I was on the Atkins diet . . . all the while I was hungry and cranky. Not fun.
The only thing I've been doing diet wise is cutting my portions down to a quarter to one half of what I'd normally eat.
I am a miserable failure. It has been so darn hot that I haven't been doing the shred. I am still walking though..early in the morning. I guess I am going to drop out. Not feeling motivated. Wishing you all success as you finish up your shredding!
Heat sure is an exercise motivation killer. I have to get it done first thing in the morning because otherwise it just ain't gonna happen.
It's the end of the 30 day challenge, right? How did everyone fare? I am still on the 3x/week shred, that is plenty of toning for me and it allows running too. My only complaint was and still is the ankle stress, I'd never had ankle pain before doing 30DS regularly, and I've run marathons! Not sure why, I guess all the jumping. But the toning was better than anything I've done before so the video is definitely a keeper.
Did anyone manage to do it daily? If so I am REALLY REALLY impressed!
I did 7 days straight of L1, but quit, so I'm going to try and get back into it. I only started the week before last, so I did 4 days of exercise last week. I guess that's not a total stop. I plan to get back into it once I feel better.
I am on Day 19 (L2). I have been pretty stubborn about completing the video every day. (Case in point: last night, I had worked all day at a softball tournament, returned home at 9pm to complete some housework and found myself completing the shred video at 11:15pm. For the first time, I thought I was going to vomit afterwards. The satisfaction of sticking with it is exhilarating)
I didn't take measurements before I started my 30 days (July 1), but I plan to take measurements on July 30 and will compare to measurements from May.
I'll be doing Day 8 or 9 of L1...of course I'm half-assing it since I work-out from a wheelchair but I can bare up to 75 lbs on my left leg now so I do stand up when they are standing just can't jump or squat, etc. I tried on some size 15/16 pants that were new the other day, went to my doc appt and kept having to pull them up. I can only imagine what this video could do for me if I could do it normally.
Can I ask you ladies if you think I should move on to Level 2 or just stick w/my half-assing Level 1? At this point I'm looking for cardio and then the upper body weights is cool too.
Keep it up ladies and hope you all have a great week!
today is my last day of the shred!!! i have done 29 consecutive days, just need to complete today (10 days at each level).
i cant wait for it all to be over, just because it takes over my whole lunch break and i need to be able to do other things but i think i will still complete each level one day a week, so 3 times a week, just to keep ontop of the toning.
I will post weight loss results and measurements tomorrow when i have checked them.
If i can do it anyone can, keep up the good work ladies
way to go, charlirox! That is really awesome. I look forward to hearing about your results!
I know this challenge is kind of "over" but I'm starting today. I've done level 1 a bunch of times in the past but if I'm being honest with myself, I don't think I ever *really* had the intention of going the 30 days. Today I do, and it's going to be great!
