30 Day Shred?

heather318

Has anyone done the 30 Day Shred before? I did Day 1 of it yesterday and woke up today feeling like I could barely walk. Someone please tell me it gets easier. And how the heck are you expected to do this EVERY day when your legs feel like they're going to fall off!?

I did it two days in a row once and then took a 4 month break. I tried again last weekend and 1 day was as far as I got. It is definitely a great work out for 20 minutes though!

I did it for a week, went to California, and haven't done it since. It kicks your butt, but it does get easier. Just don't stop because you'll NEVER want to go back!

I committed to 30 days of it last Spring.  It does get easier!  Level 1 doesn?t even faze me now. And I'm chubby. I went on vacation, lost the habit, but am committed for the new year. I also picked up a few other DVDs to rotate in to prevent boredom.

I totally gets easier with time, make sure to do the "easy" way for the first few times.  And it's not suppose to be done 7 days a week. You need to give your body time to rest it's more of a 5 times a week program.  I'll be doing it as well starting in January, but will try to do it 3-4 X's a week then use my treadmill the rest of the time. 

You can also get it for free if you have FIOS or COMCAST on demand.  It's under Exercise TV and in the Jillian Michaels section.

I swore at the tv the first couple days, I think mostly though because Jillian's voice drives me insane. I did it for about a week and lost three pounds without changing my eating habits at all! :-) But yeah, I had a procedure done that kept me from moving for about a week and I just lost the will to keep going. So keep it up - don't quit. If you quit, you won't want to come back to it, Katie's not lying to you. Good luck! It will get easier!

Ugh, me too! I felt like if she said "phoning it in" one more time I was going to punch her through the TV.

I did it for about a month, and had good results, but then I quit. It got a lot easier after the first week or so. I also plan to use it again starting January!

I'm on day 5 and it's already a little easier. It's still tough (my arms are especially weak), but I think I'll be ready next week to move on to level 2. The first few days I was really sore and pushed through. Today I woke up much less sore.

During the part where you start boxing at the air, I was aiming at her face while I did it and that made me punch even harder ;-)

 I do that too. Makes working out some much more fun, when you can punch Jillian in the face.
