The truth about the 30 day shred

Haha I feel the same way when I'm doing yoga! Way to go girl!

I yell at Jillian when I do the 30 day shred! She's not very nice!

What is the 30 day shred? Sorry

What is the 30 day shred? Sorry

It's a workout video with one of the trainers from the Biggest Loser. It has 3 levels that get more intense as you go. A lot of the girls on here are using it to get in shape for the wedding

Yup she sucks! The first time I started I was on level 1 for about 2 weeks before I moved up. Then I got pregnant and now after a baby I'm going on 3 weeks on level 1 and finding it very hard to even get thru the whole thing. But I have seen great results so far!

I feel that way during bootcamp. I did the shred a while back but the vids got boring for me and after a while felt too easy for FH (though still was challenging for me to an extent). So we got a gym membership. Since we have started bootcamp and at almost every class in the middle of the WARM UP I am like omg with the F was I thinking. But at the end I am like yeah, good work out. It's an hour long, it's hard but so worth it.

I pretend I'm punching Jillian during that one cardio workout. Always made me feel better.

I was doing the shred and was seeing some serious changes. I just got a gym membership and have switched to working out there but the shred will seriously kick your butt! I loved it.

I can attest to losing some of my preggo weight to that dvd, Jillian is definitely a hard trainer but in this dvd she uses what is called "muscle confusion" which works like a charm on speeding up weight loss!

UGH I need to just start mine, i keep putting it off. i have the DVD and am excited. I shall start tomorrow!

She's awesome, however, people with bad knees should use it with caution. I have bad knees and skipped those parts that hurt them/could have hurt them (I'm only 31 and not carrying much extra weight (I was a ballet dancer as a child/teen and I blame poor instructors for my bad knees). Anyway, just wanted to warn people. Amazon has a lot of similar complaints/warnings. It's great for weight loss/toning, but proceed with caution if you had bad knees. I mildly hurt myself the first time doing the video and a lot of the Amazon reviews have much worse horror stories (surgery, etc). She goes over proper technique VERY quickly. That said, I still find it effective if I skip those certain warm ups/exercises and do something less aggravating to my knees instead.

@CeCe I'll have to try that! Perhaps pretending it's her I'm punching will help make the workout go faster

I shouldn't hate, because she's awesome and it's working.

But really, she sucks.

Ahhh I need to get back on this

I'm ashamed to say that I never made it past level 1..and I dread hearing that horrible intro music.

CeCe- I did that too haha as I swore my butt off to her - We had a love/hate relationship

I have the 30 day shred and her No More Trouble Zones dvd. Neither is easy, but at least 30 day shred is shorter.

I'm having to kinda scale back though and I'll mostly just be doing some weight training for toning. I've been so busy with meetings/appointments for the wedding I haven't had time. :/ Plus, I went to a dress fitting last week and they already have to take the dress in (lost 3in in the hips and 1.5 in the bust I believe) - the seamstress said I should try to maintain my weight now because we're getting close and they won't really have time to take it in more if I lose more.

I've never been especially good with maintaining weight, so we'll see how that goes. O.o

Also, I've been using MyFitnessPal to keep track of calories and Runtastic to keep track of how much I've been walking.
