Thread: Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred

I managed 4 days and then got lazy...hmmm may well make myself start it again tonight

Excellent-we can all be Shred support buddies!
I'm tight and opted for super saver delivery on Amazon-so I am probably looking at a wednesday/Thursday delivery!

Ohh good luck hun.

I am a bit tempted to do before and after snaps!

Keep in touch on your progress and we can motivate each other! xx

I did it through August, didn't miss a single day. I lost 7 lbs and about 8 inches. My arms got got bigger though and my thighs looked too muscley, i didn't like it

I just rotate it with my other now, it's great for when you are short on time, and the abs sections are amazing, they work really fast.

Good luck all, hope you get the results you want x

Looks interesting, think I'll order a copy, but, I'm not sure how I'll get on, seeing as I'm TOTALLY unfit.... but, unless I try, I'll never get better.... maybe I'll try a less intense DVD first, but I'll order it today, otherwise it just wont happen

Thanks peeps

i am thinking i will take my measurements and not bother with photos!!! how much difference can 30 days really make??

I think everylittle helps-It'll help tone us up and emphasise our fabulous curves.

I'm really into working out-it really does make such a difference.

Elle-I think measurements are a fab idea-I never took my measurements when I first started losing weight at nearly 16 stone-now I am nearing 12 and a half and I really regret it. I do however own my old work trousers still. I should take a photo of me wearing them and stick it in my drawer at work-just a sharp reminder.

You have to start somewhere hun. The nice thing about this is that it is in your own home and once you get your confidance up-who knows what you will be doing next? x

Ooo just what u needed a boost to restart 30 ds

I got to day 12 so level 2 it's such a jump from level 1!!

I want to do 30 days solid n want to take measurements b4 n after!

Thing is my knees hurt so much with this they were hurting after a couple of days but by day 12 it was effecting me even when walking so took a break..... That was over 2 weeks ago lol really should start again though

So anybody due to start over the coming few days?

my DVD just arrived - goodbye flab, hello pain!!! x

My two main tips would be:
- the first time is dreadful, but it gets better!
- and, remember your form when you're doing the squats otherwise it's easy to hurt your knees, particularly as Jillian does them at a fairly fast pace. Drop your bum down, as if you're going to sit down in a chair - your knees shouldn't really move except as a hinge. If your knees are more forward than your toes then you're not doing it correctly and you're going to hurt yourself.

i actually cant do it no reason as such i just found it so painful the day after and had troble walking! plus i actually vomited doing it lol! i dont know whyy as i walk quite a bit and did hannah watermans dvd before which is good, but 30day shred is iintense as hell. good luck to all of you , its now at the back of my dvd cabinet, may use it as a mirror to put make up on with lol! i admire u all but its not for me =] xxxxx

I downloaded this today so I might have a go tomorrow... Bit worried now after reading this! But I do so much better with fitness DVDs than I do with the gym/kinect so I'm willing to give it a go.

OK girls, I'm 60 and I've just finished day 5 on level1! Get this dvd! It's wonderful! If you're young then do it every day. I do it every other day (tho I did 1 &2 consectuctively) Yes you walk like John Wayne for a week after starting, but it soon wears off.

Judi, you are a legend!!

Day 2 - completed. It hurt less but more consistently today but I already had better endurance and only stopped once on the way through to grab some water. Im really pleased I restarted this, I can feel muscles in my stomach and they actually work.
