I bought it for before my wedding, did one day and was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. I was too sore to do it again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-491416 Wed, 09 Jan 2013 13:47:27 +0000 Springtime 491416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm going to start the 30 day shred! @mrs. Pen I just ordered it online from half.com for $5.00 plus $2.99 shipping. Not sure how much it is normally but I thought that wasn't bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488776 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:07:47 +0000 lavender 488776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's a great workout, I did it before my wedding. Word of advice @Mrs. Pen put Jillian on mute! She will annoy you after a week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488767 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 13:04:23 +0000 .twist. 488767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I did it with a friend, we did week 1 for a month, week 2 for a month, etc. It was way too hard for us to go week to week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488744 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:58:19 +0000 Mrs. Pen 488744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@caffeinated: hm... I'm not sure... there didn't seem to be instructions on when to level up. I suppose when you feel ready for a new challenge? I think after one week I might try level 2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488740 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:56:39 +0000 Freckles 488740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: Maybe i'm crazy, but i liked level 3 the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488737 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:56:08 +0000 Freckles 488737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I think i would do a 1 day rest if your body isn't feeling well. Better a 1 day rest than being sidelined for a week because you injure yourself! Question about the 30 day shred...when do you move up the levels? I moved up to level 2 after 1 day, but i don't know if i want to do the same 2 workouts for 30 days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488722 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:51:55 +0000 Boopers 488722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: I completely agree about level 2 and popped in to say the same thing! Level 2 is killer!! My sister did this a while back and would do two levels back to back! She lost a lot of weight and toned up. I'm always too exhausted after one workout to even think about doubling up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488609 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:21:48 +0000 allison 488609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started it a few times. Each time, after the first day, I can hardly walk! It's so crazy how sore it makes me. I definitely skipped days, but usually working the muscles helped make them feel better.</p> <p>I hate to admit it, but I could never make it past level 2! And I don't consider myself in terrible shape... Good luck! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488538 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:05:24 +0000 iluvpink 488538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: iam sure you want to keep up with the routine of the 30 days and all, but you sound like you need at least a one day break, before you really injure yourself and would skip more than a day. Your body needs a break. GL and feel better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488531 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:04:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 488531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: haha squats are amazing! I'm crazy but I love squats. Once in zumba class we did an entire song while squatting... ahhhh my thighs were trembling but it felt sooo good and that week my butt was definitely firmer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488525 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:03:20 +0000 mamimami 488525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I did lose a bit and definitely toned up - even got a couple comments! But after a month I started to slack off and then I found out I was pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488519 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:01:54 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 488519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG hats off to whoever is doing this. I think I tried it a few times and when I realized how many squats were involved, swore it off! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488513 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:01:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 488513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sloaneandpuffy: how did it work for you? did you lose weight and tone up?<br /> I really want to tone up! I am at a decent weight but I still feel so fat and flabby. the weight I am now would have looked so different pre-baby :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488509 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:00:43 +0000 mamimami 488509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>PS in my opinion level two was the hardest of all three levels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488503 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:59:47 +0000 mamimami 488503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it last January and never skipped a day. I am kind of anal like that so I felt like it would be cheating. I was sore but I worked through it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488502 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:59:45 +0000 Mrs. Pen 488502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: haha. I will get back into it tomorrow - my calf REALLY hurts. it's like a perpetual charlie horse lol. but it's only one side... weird. maybe I'll try level 2 tomorrow just to see ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488497 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:58:47 +0000 MrsBrewer 488497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I think I want to start doing 30 day shred now! My goal will be to find out how level 2 and 3 are! hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488489 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:57:05 +0000 Mrs. Pen 488489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: after I did the first workout the first day, I was thinking oh this isn't so bad! maybe I will go up to level 2 by the end of the week.... errrrrrrr!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488480 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:55:15 +0000 MrsBrewer 488480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Don't feel bad, when I was doing it.....I never got past level 1! Level 2 &amp; 3 are still mysteries to me!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488446 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:45:32 +0000 Mrs. Pen 488446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: that sounds awesome! I gave up a lot of grains about a year ago and all processed sugar (only natural sweeteners) which REALLY helped! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488445 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:45:02 +0000 ladyfingers 488445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I skipped days in the beginning because I went from not working out at all to doing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488437 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:43:05 +0000 oahujeni 488437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: It was a combo of the 30-day shred, cooking dinner 4x/week (almost all meals off of skinnytaste), and monthly "challenges" where I gave up one item for a month at a time (bread, sugar, caffeine.) I also kept a food log and weighed myself every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488423 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 11:36:30 +0000 Mrs. Pen 488423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: bahhaha I'm still on level 1! I'm this sore after the "easiest" workout :-/</p> <p>@.twist.: yeah.. getting up with DS at 4am was brutal. ughhh I couldn't move!!</p> <p>@rachiecakes: I know... it's crazy that in 20 minutes you can get so sore and sweaty. and good luck on the resolution!!</p> <p>@oahujeni: that's awesome! How long did you do it?</p> <p>@Running Elley: yay!! we can do it together! Bummer is I rented from the library so I have to return it in three weeks. But even getting through half of it is enough. If I like it enough I will buy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488230 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:37:23 +0000 Running Elley 488230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started it this morning! When I've done the shred before I usually do it 5 days a week and pick 2 days to be my rest days. Some days I was really really sore and dreading the workout bit doing it almost made the soreness feel better? At least at first lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488224 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:35:18 +0000 .twist. 488224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: Oh.my.god. She gets sooo annoying. My girlfriend and I definitely put her on mute once we got the work outs down! haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488221 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:34:34 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 488221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did it about 4-5 times per week this summer. If i was super sore I took a break. And I only ever did level 1.. it was still super hard! I think I'm going to start it back up again.</p> <p>Good luck! It works!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488210 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:31:40 +0000 oahujeni 488210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>And I also have to add that Jillian can get quite annoying after doing the workout a few times. So once we had the workout down we put the video on mute and played our own music in the background. I like Jillian, but several times I was ready to kick the tv to get her to shut up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488200 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:29:30 +0000 MamaCate 488200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with pps that you should skip a day. I used to do the workouts but at the beginning I would skip every third day or every other day. If you are that sore you are likely not to get very much out of it, and you will still have good results. Go you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-day-shred#post-488194 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 10:28:15 +0000 oahujeni 488194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I did the 30 day shred 3 days a week. We were too sore to do it every day. I still feel like I got a great workout from it and it helped me lose over 40lbs last year. We never even made it past workout #2 but still got results. </p>
